'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[Whiskeyjack]

Eddie's got offers from some good schools, but he's taking OVs to two of the worst in the BCS.

If those are his top 3, I hope he picks PSU for his own sake.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Not in his Top 15.

I think we are done here.

 

[NDPhilly]

Sucks. Was a great fit for the 3-4.

 

[Irishnuke]

Lol. How can we not make a top 15?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Lol. How can we not make a top 15?

Probably getting a lot of slander thrown around by Southern Cal.

 

[yankeeND]

He and Pagano were my two most wanted, but was thinking they would grow into NT. So is that just not happening this year, meaning no DT/NT?

 

[NDhoosier]

I think that hurts me more than being in his top 3 and not getting picked...

 

[GBdomer]

Extremely slim chance. Eddie seems to be leaning towards Oregon Cal and USC. While Pagano likes Florida and LSU.

 

[beryirish]

just don't let it be USC....good grief...my hunch is for Cal

 

[DCIrish]

Committed to USC

Edit: Sounds like him being committed may be rumor, but USC seems to be the team to beat.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Eddie Vanderdoesn't.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Where are you seeing this? This wasn't on the Rivals premium site, and I checked around and all I saw was that he'll be visiting USC this summer.

I personally would be shocked if he didn't choose USC. He's interested n other schools, but USC has a leg up on them all, Oregon included (right now). The only way I see him not going there is if they fill up...

 

[STLDomer]

not seeing this anywhere on Twitter or 247...

interesting note that two of USCs biggest targets are rooming with USC committs at The Opening

Vanderdoes with Hutchings and Willis with Hawkins

 

[me9rob]

I don't believe he committed. Supposedly he said USC is the team to beat now, though.

I'm actually glad he went there after talking smack about other kids competition vs Hawaii's. Looking forward to him going against our big 5 on the line!

Placer football star Eddie Vanderdoes commits to USC

After several weeks of consideration, Eddie Vanderdoes trusted his instincts and went with the school that he said "just really fits me perfectly."
It's USC.

That was Scott Pagano, not Vanderdoes.

 

[yankeeND]

That was Scott Pagano, not Vanderdoes.

Yeah I'm a jackass, this one actually hurts bad. Sorry I had a brain lapse.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

You got to hand it to USC.., Even though their class will be small, it is filled with top talent. Can't wait until we start beating them on a regular basis and get our rivalry back to where it used to be. Tired of seeing them get so much talent.

 

[RDU Irish]

Well, I guess you get what you pay for.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Their defense could be insane. Fckers.

 

[Classic Irish]

Well, I guess you get what you pay for.

I assume you're implying that southern cal is up to their old tricks.

 

[Bluto]

This class is talented for sure. I'm sure it's been said before but it will be interesting to see if they are able to develop quality depth at multiple positions once the scholarship restictions kick in. That quality depth seems to be the key to winning consistently due to injuries, players not panning out on the field or with academics not to mention having solid players on special teams.

@adamgorney: Hearing #USC commit Eddie Vanderdoes will take some official visits before signing day.

We most likely won't be one of them however.

Cal sure does look nice this time of year......

He was just at a USC practice and he and his dad reaffirmed their love for USC and their happiness with their choice. He might take those visits, but no one at USC is worried...

 

[NDhoosier]

a fanbase is always worried when their commit is visiting other schools. Plenty of people here are a little worried about Anzalone after the Florida thing.

 

[beryirish]

He reserved his spot at USC now he's going to look around and reaffirm it if anything.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

ND has had recent contact with Eddie according to II.
