'14 CA ATH John (Juju) Smith (USC Signee)

[Irishnuke]

Really loving his visit to Oregon so far which was surprising to Hopkins at 247.

He wasn't supposed to like it?

They are surprised he is liking it so much. Oregon wasn't even in his Top 5 coming in to the trip.

Jackrabbits baby... Let ACamp talk to his people... See what's up...

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Per 24/7, Oregon is now one if his top schools. Loved the people and the poly presence there. Liked that everyone was laid back and the coaches didn't yell very much and didn't cuss. The thing I liked is that both he and his parents said it was "one of my best visits." Not the best visit, just one of the best visits. Officials left to Bama and Michigan.

Great thing Kelly would never cuss out his players!

Um, didn't their DC just get reprimanded for going nuts and cussing in a post game presser?

Yep LOLZ

“That’s total bullshit that he threw the ball at the end of the game like he did,’’ Aliotti said. “And you can print that and you can send it to him, and he can comment, too. I think it’s low class and it’s bullshit to throw the ball when the game is completely over against our kids that are basically our scout team.’’

“Make sure he knows that. Because I don’t really care...I am kind of stunned he would keep his quarterback and crew in there,’’ Aliotti said. “And still he threw the ball with 20 seconds left. But he did. They want stats, they got stats. But we got the most important stat and that’s the ‘W’ and we are happy about that.’’

For Smith in particular, the visit went even better than expected.
"I thought it was going to be all about the facilities, but it wasn't," Smith said. "It was a great feeling. The environment at Oregon's stadium is something else. It was so loud, and the fans are great people too."
While Smith said it was too early to know where exactly this puts Oregon on his list, the two-way standout added that, "Oregon is another top school to look out for."

I'm sure the staff will be back in touch with him, after the excitement of the visit wears off some.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Schrader from USC 24/7 (USC's version of Loy) still thinks JuJu will end up at SC. Again he is a huge homer so take with a grain of salt.

With Smith, he has high interest in Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Oregon, but a source close him told us he doesn't see Smith going far from home. He is close with his family and they are USC fans. Buckle your seat belts until signing day.

Change that Avatar. I'm starting to feel like an old pervert.

So, ... you're telling us that the circulation's started back up in your hands again?

Try the "stranger." I hear it is excellent.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Cancelled OV to UM, will OV USC instead. That's a problem.

Doesn't really matter I don't think. All it means is Michigan is out. USC was always going to be in this all the way to the finish. I've always felt he stays home at USC or he comes to ND.

They're both numb.

 

[Irishnuke]

He lives down the road from SC. I doubt an OV is going to seal the deal. If he picks SC chances are he was always going to pick them.

 

[GBdomer]

Idk why Wilfong and Loy are so confident. Steve must know something

About juju headin to ND?

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Or Tom does

It is very interesting b/c most of the west coast beat writers are all saying he stays close to his family...........essentially USC.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Usc has the inside track. Not good for ND right now

 

[GreenSox04]

need sc to hopefully, somehow, someway, whiff on a coaching hire, again.

I heard Ty Willingham is available

 

[IrishLax]

I've always been very skeptical that we would actually sign him. I've always thought it was more likely than not when USC makes a big splash hire and maybe keeps some of their defensive coaches he has good relationships with that he would sign with the Trojans.

This cancelled visit to Michigan to visit USC just reinforces that.

 

[gkIrish]

Remember what happened to their class at the end of last year? They will have TWO more losses before this year is over. 7-5 on the season.

I'm not sure their record is going to matter to him, I believe the thing he is waiting to see is who the new coaching staff will be. That will be the difference in his recruitment, we still have a chance but he is by no means a lock to ND and I would be skeptical about us landing him if we are being completely honest.

I'm just saying it's too early for everyone to start pouting. Too many unanswered questions for USC.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

He was impressed with ND and we may be in the lead for him. Relationships and religion are very much in our favor. Be worried about USC and their new coach

 

[ryno 24]

I feel like he would be icing on the cake. We have gone for a lot of home runs in this class and if we get them we will be able to compete on a completely different level.
