Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

(per Jhop's twitter)

I was hoping they would come and and watch the annual drubbing of the fuskies but it appears as if they are checking out USC this week instead. It would be extremely disappointing to see both of those guys end up at SC.

The Coliseum will be half empty this weekend, and hopefully ASU does us all a favor and upsets the Trojans.

Yeah, hopefully you are right. I still don't like the idea of the snake oil salesmen Kiffin and OGREon getting a chance to work their magic on them.

The more they lose, the bigger the hype to recruits on how they will fit right in and play right away, helping restore SC to their rightful place. Kiffin will find a way to sell the situation, using SC's PAC-10 & national championships as an incentive.

Arizona State is flying high after dominating Wazzu like that. They have a solid defense, so there's little chance of a SC blowout. Best-case is ASU pulling the upset in a half-empty stadium.

With 11 verbals and only 15 spots, I can't see how USC is bringing in so many visitors w/only four spots left. Are they going to offer 10 greyshirts? Or ask a five star to walk on?

This. They can bring in all the recruits they want but they only have a few spots left. They'll probably get a few more top ranked guys but the vast majority of the recruits they're bringing in will not be going to USC. There's very little to worry about.

They actually have 10 or so more spots. This season, and this season only, they can count back their EE's and apply them to their 10 class. Starting next year, 15 will be their limit.

They're retarded though. They keep signing RB's and WR's as if they aren't already stacked at those positions. They'll have major depth issues in the future at this rate.

They've got 1 WR and 0 RBs this year.

At WR, they have Blackwell; and Arnett just visited, enjoyed it, and scheduled a date to announce his school of choice shortly afterwards. Meaning, they probably landed him as well. That's two. Farmer's supposedly a silent, and Lee and Blackmon are projected WR's on the next level. That's 5(if they get em all). And they just signed a class with 3 5* recruits last season.

AT RB, the signed a class of DJ Morgan and Dillon Baxter last season. They only have one back graduating from a depth chart of about 6 backs. De'Anthony Thomas will also probably end up in the backfield, and they aren't finished recruiting the position. They still have Huggins and Carlisle on their radar.

USC is going to recruit a full class until the appeal process is finished, so don't be surprised if you continue to see a lot of names visiting them, and don't be surprised to see them turning away a lot of kids come LOI day
