Brandon Huffman said that he wouldn't be surprised if Heyward goes to San Diego St...

He is now predicting that Heyward will stay at home.

LOL. As long as we keep Byers I'll be ok. I'm mean honestly, if a kid is buying what Petey & his cronies are selling they really lose their appeal. At least to me. Don't care how good he is, if he just LOVES usc then I find it kinda hard to really want the kid anymore. Idk just how I feel, especially with them coming on the scene so late. He can go to SC, talk tons of trash then get rolled by us every year. Hopefully it's not true though.

Obviously he could become a Duck and go against the rumors, but I feel the same way as you. If Simmons isn't dead-set on becoming a Duck, then he doesn't belong here. The last thing we need is him to come here and end up transferring because he didn't fit in with what we are trying to sell here. If we whiff on Simmons on Heyward, we will get through it, I have the utmost faith in our coaches. Of course it would be great to get one of both of them, but it is not like the cupboard is empty.

FWIW, I remember when the USC board was convinced that Colt committed on his visit as well. This time feels different but you never know.

Not just Colt, but Wallace also. SC fans are an arrogant bunch and think they are getting everyone.

Bob Lichtenfels
5* DT Delvon Simmons denies commitment rumors to USC via text message five minutes ago. "No, I haven't committed anywhere"

Hope he's right.

Well if Simmons is this year's Easley, then I hope Heyward is this year's Heimuli.

I would hope that's the case with Heyward, but I'm not too hopeful on that. Even though USC already has a lot of DL committed, it seems like they are taking anyone they can so they can stockpile players before they get hit hard by sanctions.

For obvious reasons it would be great to get these guys but next recruiting cycle with the NC run and another season under Azz's belt should give the Ducks a lot of interest from DL recruits, who knows another NC run or at least another Rose Bowl should help as well.

Sounds fishy but all these rumors start flying once signing day nears.

Just to reiterate this point, From a Rivals chat today, (it was free, I'm not a member)

Adam Gorney:

It's USC, San Diego State or Oregon for Heyward. There were some rumors Saturday night that Simmons committed to SC but he denied those reports. Oregon and USC are definitely involved. Lots of people think it's close between those two right now.

Given the overall situation at USC, this is a huge gamble for all these kids currently committing to the dog pile of recruits for Troy... If the sanctions stick, they will literally have no backup coming in for the next 3 seasons, and a reduced scholarship limit, to boot.

Where do you go, if you happen to be the odd man out... Especially knowing you are losing an additional season of eligibility when the transfer takes place?
