Serra Trio Recruiting News

[Supreme]

I think we have a very good shot at Lee. I've heard that Farmer is still pretty close to being a USC lock. Gibson will probably follow Farmer.

Gibson wont follow Farmer I don't think. If anybody were to follow Farmer, it'd be Lee.

[Boom]

So when does the loss of scholarships hit USC? After their appeal is processed?

I don't know what the heck is going on over there at SC right now.

[Boom]

well I believe once that goes into place they can only offer 15 scholarships a year. They already have 14 committed this year.

I was under the impression that they have 20 scholaraships this year, which means they only have 6 spots left if that is correct. It will be interesting to see if they end up having to turn kids away, and, if so, how will they decide who to keep. I'm curious to see if they pull offers from any of the kids who committed early in the process if there are some higher ranked guys who want to commit.

I have read something along these lines:

They have about 10 left overs from 2010 that can be used for early enrollees. Then they have the 25 this year because of the appeal I believe. So they can sign a boatload of recruits as long some are able to enroll early until they hit the Total Scholarship cap. The way to get around the total cap by getting current players they no longer want to leave, like they did at Tennessee.

Expect a big class from SC this year and then the following year or two smaller than even the sanction limits.

I think the biggest SC commit that they need is Barkely's SR year. It's hard to see them doing worse than they have been but once he's gone, they're gonna drop off big at the qb spot

It seems like Blackmon has really been the only recruit that was truly moved by his visit last week. I read somewhere that one of the trio even fell asleep at the game (he still reported having a great time though). I would like to hear some real visit impressions from these guys to see where we stand though. I also noticed that Scout recently moved Farmer's interest in USC to "HIGH" with everyone else still at Med. That isn't too encouraging.

Sounds like they really did have a great time & we made a big impression on them.

From this quote posted on the board mentioned above, it sounds like too much is being made of Farmer supposedly falling asleep:

I don't know if I can post it here but here is a snip from Biggins' blog on a report about Lee. I'll remove it if you want me to

"Our flight was at 6:00 a.m. so we had to be at the airport by 4:30," Lee said. "It's funny, we saw on the Internet how everyone was commenting on a story that George was sleeping during the game but it wasn't because he was bored, none of us slept at all Friday night and then left so early Saturday morning, we were exhausted.

"I looked over at him and saw him with his eyes closed and was like, 'George, how can you sleep when it's this loud.' He just laughed and said he wasn't really sleeping, he was just meditating or something. We all had a great time though and Oregon is very high on the list for all of us."

Bumi, can you switch your avatar to an ugly old man or something?

I keep seeing your avatar and it's making me miss my gf dude!

So according to his twitter and a youtube vid, DeAnthony Arnett just committed to USC.

Given the 3 WR studs they got last year and now 2 more in this class, I can't imagine that hurts our chances with Farmer.

Still think it's optimistic at best, but I think in the end we could very well end up w/ Farmer, Lee, and Blackmon... Add in Sumler and thats video game-esque offensive potential...

Bumi stop stalking devon blackmon you weirdo

It's on his twitter, I'd hardly call that stalking. I always appreciate someone going to extra mile to get info.

Are you dumb? What are you talking about?

He is tweeting Devon Blackmon.

Its weird.

It's also an NCAA recruiting violation.

Did you see the video he posted? It was silly. He was saying that Lane Kiffen is one of the greatest coaches of all time and it sounded like one of his biggest reasons for going to USC was the ladies.

I look forward to seeing him sit on the bench behind their stellar class of WR's as the pipe dream Kiffen sold him goes up in smoke.

You realize those videos he is making are hoaxes, right?

How do you think all of these recruiting websites get their info.
