    USC landed Ty Isaac today... 6'2 205 arguably the second best RB in the nation behind our Tyner.... Some would say he's better because he's not injury prone.

    This could make for one hell of a key RB match up for years to come in the Pac-12

    Congrats USC!! Good to know the NCAA has really deterred your success in recruiting with yet another top 5 class this year too! :laugh:

    If I'm not mistaking USC has landed the top QB prospect in the nation, the #2 running back in the nation, the #5 DE in the nation for the 2013 class and it's only May! Maybe the Ducks need to be put on probation too! HAHAHA! Right now it's clear that USC has made a mockery out of the NCAA and what they are capable of enforcing for prior recruiting violations. Leave it to Lamo Kiffin to be discrete with business as usual though. He might as well take an ad out in the LA Times captioned "CATCH US IF YOU CAN!"

    Something to consider, how many teams first year off a two year bowl ban are ranked #1 pre season?

    None thats for sure. SC just has that good of attracting talent.

    If Tyner ain't injury prone, it will be intriguing to see which RB is better. Tyner clearly has an Adrien Peterson like build, and could become even better

    So far, there average 'stars' for recruits is 4.6.

    But, you still have to coach them up.

    And we could use some depth as well. DAT may graduate Junior year, which leaves...

    Byron Marshal, then Tyner. Two backs wouldn't cut it. And USC is getting an edge on us.
