might've already been said, but what happened to USC here??? IIRC he was almost looked at as a lock

He's very aware of depth charts and probably knows that USC took Justin Davis and Ty Isaac last year.

Holy ****. I realized I hadn't heard USC in the mix for most of our prospects unlike in past years, where they are in it for most of them. I hopped over to 247 to check out their class. 49th. They are 49th in the country in recruiting with 8 recruits. 5 4:s: and 3 4:s:. For comparison, that's one spot above Western Michigan and 2 below Temple. Temple is out recruiting Southern Cal. Yikes. Quite driving an ice cream truck, Kiffin, and get to recruiting. Wait... nevermind. Keep doing what you're doing.

Yeah. They're in rough shape. Really goes back to all the late decommits they had last cycle.
Still looking pretty good with some top-flight California kids who haven't committed yet, like Mama and Adoree Jackson. But if they have a bad season...

Be cool if Wisconsin landed him. I don't know why elite recruits don't wanna play RB there. John Clay, Monte Ball, PJ Hill, Melvin Gordon, James White. Oklahoma also great running back success.

Probably because Wisconsin is in Wisconsin.

Madison is a ton of fun though, Like one of the best party schools with a good football team.

I live there, and Madison is awesome but so is partying in the SEC I'm sure. Wisconsin doesn't have a deep football tradition and is not a national brand. Add to that the miserable winters and I don't blame recruits for over looking it. Badgers typically get a lot out of the recruits they get though

I am sorry but Madison>>>>South Bend.

Madison is an awesome town. Probably my favorite B1G town.

Sister is a Wisconsin grad and some of my best college memories were visiting her. Fantastic party town. In fact, I believe that Playboy has rated it one of the best college party towns in the country on at least a few occasions. I highly suggest trying to get to Madison for the annual Halloween party.

The first of many tweets we will probably see like this.

While I agree we will, is Sark really the top notch guy we are all afraid of? I still don't see this as a huge upgrade to the place where they started the year. He has done an ok job at Washington but they are by no means a powerhouse out there. And what he did get in quality players was the influx from Tosh Lupoi a couple years ago. I'm just not sold on his ability to put together a fantastic program yet. I guess we shall see in the next two weeks what happens with the recruits.
