BigRedBuster Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 All anyone really needs to know about this situation is that Lane Kiffin is a scumbag. Lane has repeatedly proven himself to be a scumbag and a bad coach. I know USC is a glamour school, but I don't know how any parents could trust their kid to him. Well, they are sitting with only 14 recruits so maybe someone is starting to take notice. Problem is, according to Scout, of those 14, 12 are top 100 recruits with 5 - 5* and 9 - 4*.

why not Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Kylie got played all right. They gave an EE offer to a recruit that just commited and took Kylie's away. Kylie would be smart and move on with life and find a school he can be comfortable at. Wasn't this basically how we got Kody Spano from Oklahoma St? Maybe history can partially repeat itself, excluding the part about multiple knee injuries, having no impact on the team, then transferring. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe Cravens needs to reconsider. He's already enrolled Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe Cravens needs to reconsider. He's already enrolled Out of all their commits, he was the least likely to decommit anyhow. Quote Link to comment

Some of their fans think a few of those players rankings are a complete joke. They felt that losing Kylie was the best defensive player they had commited. Even their fan base is starting to laugh at the stars. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 He has to be careful. He still needs to find a new school. If he comes off as a trash talking prick, it might turn off some other coaches he wants to play for. He needs to be more professional than the dick head that is leading USC right now and take time to make the right decision for him. If he wants to then come out with some kind of statement then do it after the fact. I disagree. Kids need to stand up for themselves. He doesnt have to go off the handle, he can do it very easliy and professionally. Twitter is a powerful tool. His buddy already tweeted something, people just need to keep it going. All he needs to do is tell the truth, no shame in that. He already did the interview with ESPN, he should have told them the truth. Stand up and tell it how it is, BO and alot of other respectable coaches would be happy to have him. It appears that Vandenburg took your advice Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Kiffen strikes again. http://blog.pe.com/hs-gametime/2013/01/08/football-revs-fitts-de-commits-from-usc/ Calling Ron Brown. I don't see any downside to NU getting in touch with this kid. Bo has a reputation for not BS'ing recruits and that is exactly what is needed here. Quote Link to comment

ndobney Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 There is a mass exodus going on at USC right now!! Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 USC finished with the #2 recruiting class in 07, #9 in 08 & 09, they finished this season 7-6. How can a coach squander that much talent and expect the recruits not to notice? Imagine where we would be if we had taken what we wanted from those classes. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Glad kids are taking notice of these things. I'm hoping some big time sh#t like this goes down at Alabama and LSU. Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Unfortunately they are just scumbags and use anything they can or anyone to win games and recruits. And win they do, kids want to go where they perceive they will receive the most status for going and we just don't have the cool factor right now like Bama and LSU, even if they will be better off human beings for going to NU vs the SEC.

They thought they were going to have a additional guy graduate and that didn't happen. Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Glad kids are taking notice of these things. I'm hoping some big time sh#t like this goes down at Alabama and LSU. I seriously want to know what is eventually going to put an end to the SEC's bullcrap recruiting tactics. I know it's all about money, so it's unlikely to change. But it's honestly destroying a lot of the parity in college football. Why do people think Bama whooped on ND so badly on Monday? It's NOT because Saban is THAT good of a coach. He's a good coach... but not THAT good. It's because they've been taking all comers as far as recruits go and figuring out the numbers later. It just really sickens me and I'd imagine a lot of other fans to hear ESPN and the media at large suck the SEC's nuts so bad when they're so blatantly cheating in order to build depth and talent that other teams can't. I just hope somehow we find a solution to this crap... and SOON! Quote Link to comment
