'26 CA ED Simote Katoanga (USC Verbal)

[Jimmy3Putt]

We made his top 30!

 

[CoachB]

Top 30 is crazy

 

[NDRock]

I hope he does the hat thing with all 30 on the table.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Someone should drop a top 36 and announce that they are going to let the roulette ball decide.

 

[BobbyMac]

I hope he does the hat thing with all 30 on the table.

Broadcast his commitment show from a Lidz Store

 

[StPaul_Irish]

I hope he does the hat thing with all 30 on the table.

and he gets so exhausted that he just grabs a random hat and commits to Alabama State.

 

[GATTACA!]

Can he play DT?

Just found this ebay listing that the family won

 

[rtrn2glory]

Top 30........ Those usually don't pan out well

 

[irishff1014]

The one good thing have going for us is Faraimo. They played together and are close if I recall from the articles about Faraimo’s recruitment.

 

[Irish#1]

That is a lot of finalists if he is, in fact, thinking of shutting it down soon.

I suspect those are his offers and some are not finalist. Looking at the list, you can eliminate about 3/4 of them without trying.

Given he's visited several times, are we the proverbial leader?

Top 30........ Those usually don't pan out well

Yeah, I really don't like those odds for ND.

 

[notredomer23]

Can't tell if I'm missing the joke but this isn't a top 30 guys it's just the offers he's received so far lol. Very common with recruits including ones that choose ND.

 

[BobbyMac]

Now playing with the Mosley's at SM

 

[BobbyMac]

@Irishnuke ... How's your NIL packages comin along?

 

[yankeehater]

I hope USC is not somehow behind all these moves to have them all play for Carson Palmer.

 

[Irishnuke]

@Irishnuke ... How's your NIL packages comin along?

I've got an OT shift on Thursday. Hope that's enough to overcome Carson Palmer as HC

In case nobody understood Bobby's comment, Santa Margarita Catholic is about two miles from my house.

 

[Denny]

Committed to USC

 

[calvegas04]

Usc going crazy in recruiting

 

[irishff1014]

Wow

 

[NDFAN2008]

Usc going crazy in recruiting

Wouldn’t call it crazy they haven’t really landed any high profile guys

 

[calvegas04]

Wouldn’t call it crazy they haven’t really landed any high profile guys

Yes they have, we just need to hope they continue to recruit poorly when it comes to the lines

 

[CanadalovesND]

Wouldn’t call it crazy they haven’t really landed any high profile guys

What are you talking about?

They’ve pulled in quite a few high profile dudes in the last three months

 

[NDFAN2008]

What are you talking about?

They’ve pulled in quite a few high profile dudes in the last three months

Okay they have landed 3 high 4 star guys the rest of their class is all low 4 star guys it’s a good class don’t get me wrong no reason why we can’t have the same. Are they throwing money at HS kids?

 

[Rizzophil]

Candidly

Has USC really ever struggled?

They always recruit well

They need to do a better job of team building / culture and retention (and not taking toxic dudes)

USC 2025 Football Decommits

USC

247sports.com

14 de-commits last season. 7 in the Top 150. Check back in a few months on the 2026 version…..

 

[BobbyMac]

Doesn't matter. They'll lose 4 of their current Top 7.

Kids know in the pay to visit era... get as many trips to LA until you start taking OV's and flip to the biggest check from a back east school.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Driskell is saying that Simote had been a silent to ND for a bit.
