I think people make too big of a deal about the weather. When I was going on college tours, I intentionally visited schools when the weather was at its worst - Oregon, Washington & Colorado in January-February, Arizona in August, etc
I am from Los Angeles. I didn't want weather to be a factor in my decision, but honestly it was to a certain extent. I realized that I would never survive in Arizona. Recruits don't usually pick a school based on weather. De'Anthony Thomas visited Oregon in January. I remember seeing Josh Huff when he was on his official visit - it was very cold and rainy. Huff was all bundled up, but you could tell that he was having a great time.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Cold weather is one thing, pouring down rain is another.

Yes, i've read some of the bigger Sec schools have cooled on him after his less than stellar showing at the Opening and the start of the season before he got hurt. He still has a ton of offers but you have to think if he comes all the way out here we're definitely in it.

Where in LA? I'm from the Thousand Oaks area, so about 45 miles from LAX.

But this is a HUGE week for us. If we can absolutely destroy USC (and you know its gonna be LOUD, coming from a student), it would send a great message to the recruits that we're the best in the west now.
They are committed to USC, they will not be in Eugene for an OV.

Starr still took an OV to ASU while committed. I dont see why its unreasonable to think that they're gonna visit.
But now that i looked at it, someone said that they'll be in town for the Civil war. Or at least according to the 247 board.
I also agree that weather is probably not much of a factor for a lot of kids. Last year the only game I got to attend was Portland State. The weather was horrible with intermittent rain showers, and it was ugly and gray. Visiting at that game and later committing (and I saw that crossing the street right next to me after the game) were Ifo Efpre-Olomu and Anthony Wallace.

If they are COMMITTED to USC they will not be in Eugene for an OV.

DAT was commited to USC, he still came to visit......
I think DAT had actually rescinded his commitment so he could visit. IIRC Chip has a rule that they won't schedule an OV for a player committed to another school.
