I am getting a little nervous about Luatua...

Me too. Honestly worried he ends up at either USC or Alabama, although everyone keeps assuring me that things look good. Feel like he's going to be our Da'Shawn Hand.

I think we all agree that JuJu is USC. If Mama really has a big family follow at his games and two teammates committed, I think he is making the right decision. USC if they get the coach right, UCLA not to be far away, Bama was in for a good reason IIRC and BYU... well ok I will stop at the first 3.

I remember someone saying he would be ND if JuJu and Luatua were in. Just an outside shot in the dark but I think he is taking "Comfort" with fellow players and atmosphere into consideration. I can understand that.

Crazy how much momentum USC is picking up the past 5 weeks. It's almost getting critical that ND finishes 2-0 just to get some recruiting momentum back into bowl season.

Ed O has them playing well. I wonder how much affect the Pitt loss has had on some?

USC is riding a wave now, but they're effed. Either A) they hire Ed O because of this recent impressive streak, thus ensuring another couple years of mediocrity (he will eventually crumble in LA) or B) they pass up the guy the entire team appears to greatly admire, thus potentially creating ill will amongst them. There's no way recruits wouldn't take notice of B.

HADEN himself said that it would be very hard to have coach o retained if they chose another coach as it would create a divide between players

No doubt it would cause a divide. Ed O being successful right now may actually hurry SC more than help it. It's a really bizarre situation.

It's no coincidence that Viane committed to USC the same night Damien announced a final four. They know exactly what they are doing and, at this point, I would be very surprised if Damien did not end up a Trojan. I had interesting conversations with Viane at the PrimeTime Polynesian Camp over the summer and again at The Opening, both regarding Damien's recruitment. He told me, "It would be great to play with him in college, but sometimes it doesn't work out." ... Sometimes it does work out, though haha

A major reason why Damien and JuJu took official visits to Alabama two weeks ago was because Viane was committed there and they wanted to experience it together. JuJu returned home with an Alabama towel and wore it during his game last week, so it will be interesting to find out how much Viane's decommitment means for both him and Damien moving forward. Again, I like USC's chances here. He canceled a trip to Michigan and scheduled one to USC for the same weekend Viane will be there.

JuJu and Mama will be Trojans. And the closer this gets to signing day Adore Jackson might stay close to home. Luatua will be Irish. USC also might lead for Josh Rosen. They are a hot team right now. But its not like the Peter Carroll days

If Orgeron gets the USC gig, he will basically be the USC version of what Mike Davis was to IU with likely long term success being similar. I'm rooting for Ed O.

USC is 8-3, yet considered a "hot" program, and is primed to pick up a number of absolute studs. ND goes 12-0 and can't pay a talented kid to replace a Heisman finalist at MLB or future 1st round pick at NT. So ****ing infuriating.

Didn't mention visiting anyone on the 24th. Said he might not OV to USC. Maybe he's buy that weekend.

Found this tidbit from USC site about how ridiculous UCLA is.

They basically showed up un-invited to Bosco and St. Bonaventure pretty much begging Mama and Dixon to visit. I guess Klemm was very disrespectful to Mama and where "bombarding" Dixon with text messages during the dead period. Bunch of clowns on that staff.

Basically Mora has ruined the relationship at Bosco and St. Bon

As much as that could potentially help us, especially seeing as how we recruit Bosco players year after year, it's a bigger bonus to USC.

Very interesting. The guy is truly as dirty as it gets right now and an absolute loser. Hope he gets busted eventually.

Why? So UCLA gets busted for 5 scholarships over 5 years? Meanwhile Mora cashes his show clause in the NFL? The guy is completely using them and that administration can't even see it. Pete Carroll already wrote this song - Mora is just covering it.

Asswipe
