Well here's some news to make this bump worthwhile: Scott Wolf said Juju is a lock (as are Adoree Jackson and Mama). He also implied he was already a silent.

That "silent" makes me not buy it. He actually seems legitimately interested in the other schools he's visited.

You see?

I demand my nomination be taken off the table. Talking about Juju is fun.

I will be elated and shocked if it happens, but I don't see it.

My balls are so blue right now, no shot.

I'm not sure if that stuff is true, but I do think all three of those guys end up there. Sadly. Very, very sadly.

The silent, according to real USC insiders, is Mama, not Juju, although I still think Juju will nd up at USC. The other commits have been referring to Mama as a fellow commit for awhile now.

Per one of the few USC posters I listen to on the MB

As stated above, we really don't have 17 commits plus there's growing sentiment that Dixon and possibly Brown may flip to ucla and JuJu is quietly telling people ND is very much in the picture. Very fluid....

IMO it's kind of like Nelson Agholor recruitment where we were in it for a while but it's always hard to turn down your dream school. I will root for JuJu because he seems like an awesome kid and so was Nelly

Hats off to coach Denbrock because he made it interesting with a die hard USC fan and recruiting a school we have no business in.

Well said, GB.

I think the writing is on the wall here. Too many factors working against us.


With that said, I respect how JuJu has handled his recruitment.

Hard not to wish a kid like him well, even if he decides to sport the cloth of the antichrist.

No italics.

Exactly man. I will never fault a kid for following his dream. I'm gonna root for JuJu even at USC. He has handled this whole process with class and it's hard not to root for him.

Well said pach

I know what are saying, but Agholar was actually a true silent to USC for a lonnnnnng time. He committed to them, the insiders all knew it, but to keep the locals off his back he kept it hidden from them. We never had a shot. But yes, Nelson was a classy kid.

Juju is not a silent, even though some think he is. Christian from ISD has been adamant from the jump that the ND coaches thought they had a shot bc Juju was telling them that. I remember at the final ISD tailgate for BYU, he showed up and I told him how USC insiders all said juju was a USC lock, and he stuck by his guns and told us that ND was still alive.

I didn't see it then and I still don't see it, but Christian is never one to b.s. so if juju says we're alive, well, at least there is a (long)shot.

I think we hit a home run on Nelson's official and that's why I said we had somewhat of a chance. No one thought he was coming here. Florida has a major player till Weis but Nelly wanted USC since his sophomore year.

Anything Gorney or GM says they just mine as well blow it out there ass.

For god sakes Farrell broke the Vanderdoes to ND before Gorney. Rivals needs to hire Greg Biggins.
