Anyone have any insight on this? I don't like the sound of it.

Hmm Simmons? The way the post is titled makes it seem like it's someone we're actively recruiting versus someone who has already committed.

Plus one of the posts makes it sound like a big-time player, which to me is Simmons or Heyward.

Re Simmons. Early word leaking out is that Delvon has already pulled trigger w/SC. Sucks if true, but can't say I'm overly surprised. DSA mod is also hearing the same thing. Only positive way to spin this right now is hopefully it might help w/Heyward.

The only good thing that could come of Simmons going to SC would be to push Heyward to UO. It could happen, in a worse-case scenario, that SC may get both since they need a lot of help along the DL.

Wow, I didn't expect Simmons to pull the trigger so early in his trip. I guess Compton in January is a pretty strong draw.

Soooo they've got to be close to being full this year right?

I think they are taking everyone they can then paring down the recruiting class once it gets in. They can cut any incoming kid to get to what they can take.

Are they for sure talking about Simmons on the link? If so, I'm disappointed but not shocked..

No kidding.

It could work to our favor if it's Simmons though - Heyward may think twice about going there. Isn't he the one with the better grades anyway? I think I'd rather have a guy that could stick around a few years.

If true it's too bad. It's amazing how USC can be in so much probable trouble and kids still pick them. The Ducks are a good/clean program and yet get over picked for a "dirty" program. Where are the parents in a decision like this. If my son was picking between a clean program and a dirty program he would go with the clean program for sure.

This really sucks because Simmons is going to be a beast if he qualifies. Dominique Easley part II.

Heyward would be awesome, but there is some talk that he doesn't want to leave Southern California. If USC ends up with Simmons, they may not have room for Heyward. Would Heyward really choose San Diego St. over Oregon?

Though I would still be very proud of the other recruits we got, that would be two tough losses..

Especially frustrating since U$C didn't even offer until after the Army AA game. Come in late and still get the pick of the litter.

Of course it's simmons.

Yeah, I'll echo the thoughts about USC hauling in a gigantic recruiting class which is over the 25 annual limit while they are on sanctions. Truly bizarre.

I'm betting we still get Heyward and Jackson. Maybe Fisher too.
