USC & Tyler Boyd...

  • I saw on Twitter that if USC offers Boyd he will committ on the spot... Boyd is currently visiting USC for those of you who don't know...

    Wonder if it would be on defense or at WR? They have three WRs already this year and they have a very restricted class numbers-wise I thought.

    Not really surprising, but I'd be surprised if he got an offer from them. Pretty sure they only have one WR spot left.

  • Why do people do that ? Twitter is not a site run by some dude in his basement. It is made up of unique individuals.

    You saw WHO say WHAT on Twitter ?

  • I don't know if that is actually true either, if this is what you are talking about:

    Retweeted by Alexander the Great

    One of his 7on7 teammates said that he bets that Boyd will commit on the spot if offered, which Boyd retweeted.

    I'd guess WR. Looking at their list of commits and targets and they currently have two DB's (one S and one CB - Cravens and Hawkins), plus Sebastian LaRue, who they reportedly recruited as a DB. Then they're getting a lot of interest from Priest Willis, Tahaan Goodman, Cole Luke and Max Redfield.

    I've heard that the number for USC is 15, but looking at the commit list and everything, I think it's higher. They currently have no OL committed.

    To summarize - I don't think Boyd will get an offer. But I guess you never know. USC does reportedly want one more WR and he could fit that.

  • Don't think they offer, but I'd say if they did he'd probably commit. He definitely likes USC and it is tough to turn them down.

    Surely hope an offer doesn't come his way...This is one school I will never complain about a kid picking over us....they've been knocked down a peg recently but they still are probably the best bet to break the SEC 'ship streak

  • The USC fans dont want either of them lol.

  • Although I couldn't ever hate on a kid for choosing USC, I still think we are in the drivers seat with Boyd. IMO if he were to visit us in the near future then he would be on commit watch.

    coffee Those "sanctions" really hurt USC recruiting.

    since they are limited it "makes those scholly offers all that more valuable" lol

    I will feel better once he comes on campus. It could be a Dorian Johnson type situation. That said, I am still worried about WVU...

  • He isn't going to get a chance to get that USC scholarship. He wants to play offense and USC has three stud receivers already. Not going to happen.

    They work the restricted numbers though, the restricted numbers is just until national signing day. After regular recruiting, they have an allowance (each team does) for three late signees that they can grant scholarships too that will count against next year's numbers, but not this years. And then, they are granted one more signing after May that also counts against the next year's numbers for scholarships. Little tricks they use to work against the system, and they also promise preferred walk ons scholarships by their second semester, which count against the next year's count, but it evens out, because guys will drop off that scholarship after the season that are going pro. Gotta love the mathematics formula that Orgeron has figured out over there. In the end, they'll end up signing around 22 prospects.

  • Quick, someone remind Boyd of names like Vidal Hazelton, Brodrick Green, etc. that went with USC over PSU and look what happened there...transfer!!!

    Vidal Hazelton's daddy was an issue, and Brod left to be closer to a sick relative - dying grandfather.

    I've spoken to Brod directly (and Jarvis Jones), and they still has a lot of love for USC, and we for them. Will always wish him, Kyle Prater and Jarvis Jones all the luck in the world.

    Once a Trojan, always a Trojan.

    Best of luck to PSU and the fans, hold your head up and stay strong. Those of us who value fairness know that a few do not represent the whole...one positive is you will find that adversity will only make an already strong university network even stronger. We know this first hand.

    Fight On! and good luck with Mr. Boyd..

    where did you come up with this....

    We are limited to 15 scholarships a year for 3 years and that started for the 2012 recruiting class....we only signed 12 for that class ( there were 3 early enrollees that counted against the 2011 class)

    This year's recruiting class we can have 3 early enrollees that will count against the 2012 class and sign 15 for this years class....We are only allowed to sign 18 max....No tricks, no working the system.

    Fight On!

    Edit: The appeal was a brilliant move by Haden and Lane...it stayed the scholarships until it was heard and Lane and Company loaded up on recruits to help us through the lean years....

    Just fYi. I still have my football coaching textbook written by one John McKay. Huge fan of his, always rooted for Troy, except when v. PSU.

  • Love Boyd but I doubt USC offers. He's not the type of recruit you go 3000 miles to get.
