Usc just dropped another guy because of a knee injury this week, Kiffin must have learned a couple tricks from Saban and Miles during his SEC vacation in Tennessee.maxduck wrote:Speculation is USC lost interest due to limited schollies. I imagine after watching Lee and Woods (both over 6') carve up the Duck defense Kiffin would rather have someone like five star 6' 2" 180 lb Nelson Agholor (they are visiting him tomorrow) than the 5' 8" 170 lb Mickens.

Disagree - there's still plenty of time for the kid to find another spot elsewhere. Kiffin is doing what he has to do to remain competitive. What schools in the SEC do is pull scholarships when the kids are already on campus and forcing them to retire (medical hardship).neezy3 wrote:Usc just dropped another guy because of a knee injury this week, Kiffin must have learned a couple tricks from Saban and Miles during his SEC vacation in Tennessee.maxduck wrote:Speculation is USC lost interest due to limited schollies.

But that was mainly a mistake by the Oregon coaches as I believe they sent a letter offering a scholarship instead of just a base letter of interest that most recruits get. Right now, USC can't afford to take players they feel need a redshirt season since they basically need all hands on deck now. Oregon can afford to wait on a player like Rodrigues since he's at a position that will have enough players for him to redshirt and recover.neezy3 wrote:It doesn't make you look good when you drop kids, Chip is still honoring Jake Rodriguez's schollie and his injury is far worse than York's. On top of that the people are saying the coaches wouldn't call him back. Remember when we dropped that db i believe a couple years ago and his coach said he would never let us back in the school again, and that was in late spring early summer.
Ya, Xavier Ramos. Oregon went into the same high school the following year and got Troy Hill. So much for banning the coaches. High school coaches make empty threats because they are upset, but they rarely follow through. Why prevent a player from going to a school that he really wants to attend? That's overstepping your bounds.neezy3 wrote:It doesn't make you look good when you drop kids, Chip is still honoring Jake Rodriguez's schollie and his injury is far worse than York's.

I think that when they got Hill, that high school had gotten a new coach so any grudges from the past staff was gone.uostudent wrote:Ya, Xavier Ramos.

Oregon pulled Kyrie Wilson's scholarship in January last year.
