There's an article on ESPN insider saying that Jalen Grimble made a suprise visit to Miami this past weekend. His high school coach says that Jalen's situation with USC has "changed", and that Jalen loved the visit and that he wouldn't be surprised to see his cousin follow him there. Xavier is apparently unhappy with his lack of PT. Let's get 'em both up here this week, land 'em, and let Colt and Christian play D.

I don't think that Jalen is interested. My understanding is that the coaches reached out to him but the interest wasn't mutual.

Isn't this the guy that was talking smack about Oregon on his Facebook?

yup

USC commit Jalen Grimble (Las Vegas, Nev./Bishop Gorman) has opened up his recruitment. He committed very early to the Trojans but took an official visit to Miami last weekend and will trip to UCLA this coming week as well.

Grimble is an intriguing player who plays defensive end at Gorman, but probably projects better as a tackle in college due to his frame and athleticism. There has been talk that one reason Grimble could be looking around a bit is because he was recently told he would be playing on the offensive line in college and he wasn't a fan of that.

The four-star defensive end had a great visit to Miami last weekend and has a strong relationship with Hurricanes' coaches Brennan Carroll and Jethro Franklin, who were both on staff at USC when the Trojans first recruited him. There was even a lot of buzz floating around after the visit that Grimble may have even commit to Miami during his trip but that was quickly shot down.

Now the feeling is Grimble will likely end up at UCLA, assuming his visit goes well this coming weekend. The family has said Rick Neuheisel has been recruiting him longer than any other coach and it was actually a mild surprise when Grimble originally committed to the Trojans, because many close to him felt he was going to announce for UCLA at the time. Things could come full circle in the next week.

How is Grimble's endurance?

Bailing a sinking ship is really hard work, if UCLA is the choice.

PT shouldn't bean issue, however.
