As you like. Sorry in advance for any other errors of grammar or nomenclature I might commit.
The RUMOR is that Williams has already sent in his LOI to USC.

MF. I really wanted to see a duo of Crocker and Williams outside for Herbert.

With journalism nowadays, those are interchangeable.
Bad take.

No, actually, they are pretty much interchangeable, which is why I used the word. With the advent of the internet, the word 'report' is used much more loosely than in the past. It is a rumor though, since I don't have a link to share. We should know for sure in a little bit though.

But not wrong, especially talking about recruiting.

That would imply that Justin Hopkins and Matt Prehm are journalists. *shutter* So that's why I don't consider the recruiting stuff 'journalism.'

Imagine if teenage girls were being asked to commit to a make-up company for the next 4 years. Can you imagine how indecisive they would be in the face of that? You could even ask them and they could be totally honest with you before changing their minds again.
I think this need to be coddled during this process for things irrelevant to the student athlete experience is a major part of this too. As soon as you get on campus, the LAST thing any player wants to see is a grip of coaches just showing up unannounced to their place.

I'm wondering how the coaches could read the remaining recruits so poorly.

JHop called Battle to Oregon last Thursday. He switched it on Tuesday morning. All this stuff is hit and miss. It's why I quit paying for the fee services. Just follow twitter and hope for the best. My guess is Williams told Oregon staff he was a Duck and "snuck" in a visit to SC at the last minute before quiet period. Reminds me of the RB from Hawaii a couple years back. What can you do. A SC offer is tough to pass up for some of these kids. Just don't see him seeing the field there as fast as he would here. We'll know shortly I guess.
