Son of rapper Warren G I believe.

Son of rapper Warren G I believe.

Rapper kids have not panned out well. Snoop and nate Dogg kids were high profile and high maintenance. But if this kid wants N, regulators, mount up

Florida State is his "dream school" because he idolizes Deion Sanders.

On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G (Jr)...

[CMT1525]

Usc out in front as of now. I hate auto correct

[ScottyIce]

Here's a link to a land of 10 article talking about his recruitment with Nebraska. Article compared him to Adoree Jackson and how he's a better cover corner at this stage. I think they said he's the #2 corner out west in his class so far

 

“I think they have a good football team and their fan base is amazing,” Griffin said of Nebraska. “That’s another reason why I’d really like to go there.”

He’s working on setting up a visit, so he can see the rad his father mentioned for himself. A student of the game — and the game’s history, admitting that he’ll sometimes lose hours watching old Deion Sanders game film — Griffin has heard plenty about the Memorial Stadium sellout streak, the balloons, the national titles, the Blackshirts and the Sea of Red, flowing from coast to coast.

“I know,” Griffin said. “They’re wild.”

And he loves it. Seriously. The junior’s Huskers announcement picked up 158 retweets and 650 “likes,” mostly from Nebraska fans who weren’t shy about reaching out — as any Army All-American Bowl prospect will attest.

“They weren’t annoying,” Griffin laughed. “A lot of people just kept hitting me up (on Twitter). It wasn’t really annoying. It was cool. I felt like I had fans.”

 

At least one Huskers assistant is already trying to help with that last part. Griffin hooked up with new Huskers cornerbacks coach Donte Williams this past fall, and the two clicked instantly.

“We’ve been talking for a couple months now,” Griffin said. “He taught me a couple of techniques. We get along really well. He was very encouraging … whenever I made a mistake, he would look at my film and teach me (how) to be better.

“I feel really good with (Williams), so maybe they could be one of the top.”

I think for most kids it's probably a pretty awesome feeling at first getting a bunch of attention and recognition. The longer in the recruiting process you go, the more annoying it becomes

No mention of Nebraska in brief tidbit.

 

USC leading, planning to visit them and Washington & LSU this summer.
