USC just officially offered UCLA DB commit Jermaine Kelly

How little respect would you have to have for yourself to commit to a program after getting told by the program that you don't have enough talent to play for them... and then they offer you when they miss on everyone else and the class is going up in flames?

I'll be surprised if he flips to USC if the UCLA coaches want to keep him and fight hard.

Washington DB, not UCLA. Was typing so quick I didn't think. Had UCLA on the mind.

Mea culpa.

What are the chances Nico Falah jumps ship? That would leave USC with 1 OLine commit, devastating.

Kiffin may get shown the exit soon. I kind of thought they were only keeping him around to keep their class together. If that falls apart does Kiffin get the boot?

Lots of buzz that offensive lineman Nico Falah might decommit but nothing official yet #USC

We did only get 2 last year without sanctions...No bueno.

Very true, and people were freaking out here about only 2.

With scholarship limits from the last two years and only getting 1 this year I would assume their depth chart is lacking.

That's the big difference. Last year when we only got 2 our OL was good/serviceable. Their OL sucks this year, and is going to continue to suck if they don't start looking at the point of attack.

at least it is his home state school...not like Houston we have a problem

The thing is, USC HAD to know! I mean, this kid's high school coaches were openly telling people at the last AA game that they wanted him to stay in-state. OPENLY TELLING PEOPLE. These are supposed to be professionals who are telling a kid already committed to one school to decommit and stay local (they wanted Kentucky, and guess where he's going?). If these coaches did this to an ND player, we'd be Defcon Level 1 (nerds tell me this is the highest level).

Then you had momma wanting him to go to Louisville. Then you have the kid decommit under pressure from momma and presumable coaches. Then the USC coaches fly down and convince him to stay, and his momma is on board with it and says they are done with the process. But guess who gets to maintain contact and see the recruit MUCH more than the USC coaches? Yup, the local schools. So as USC flies home, the local schools start hammering away on Hatcher again, and now he flips.

My point - USC HAD TO KNOW THIS! How could they not read the tea leaves? Same thing with Ramsey - when there is THAT much smoke, there is fire. Same thing with Prevot and Fallah. Now they're scrambling, calling their ex-flames or chicks they didn't even give the time of day to, looking for a prom date at the last minute, embarrassing the hell out of themselves. And guess what? They all already got dates you fools!!!

You know whose class isn;t imploding? Penn State's class (and ours of course). Coaching people, coaching...

i think the final nail was even Kiffin's old man Monte "decommited" on him in a sense....and now Eddy O appears to be leaving too?

somewhere Tennesse fans are smiling too!

Probably a thread of its own however if Kiffy gets the boot who in the heck would they try to get? My guess first guess would be Sarkisian.

I was browsing around the SC rivals site (free one) and saw some people saying they already have a great class enrolled. How f'ing dumb is that? Sure you have a few outstanding recruits signed and enrolled, but you only have what, 6 of them? If you can look at their class and say its good, you are the most optimistic person ever.

So basically every unsigned recruit. And most of USC's recruits fall into that.

Off-topic, but the part where Ledger slows down, turns around, and presses the detonator a few more times was ad-libbed (as was his ducking and running thereafter). The final set of explosives failed to go off on time.
