Khaliel Rodgers to USC
Title says it all. Doesn't hurt us obviously, but his name has been mentioned for a visit over the last month. Man is USC putting a great class together, even for USC. Their lowest commit out of 13 is ranked 162nd in the Rivals 250.

Kiffin is still a douchebag
One less quality O-lineman available for OSU.
The five star OL's will be flocking to Urban in 2013 . . . .errrrrr . . . I mean 2014.
They also landed the Scout's number 2 O-lineman nationally about an hour ago. So-Cal kid named Nico Falah.
The other teams in the PAC better be glad they are required to stop at 15. Yikes.
This year they can actually take 18 due to back dating, from what I understand. But yeah, the rest of the Pac-12 is pretty fucked. At least the Big 10 has two teams taking all the good recruits.
At least pull a recruiting class like Kiffin's before stating that Meyer doen't look at any recruits out of the top150. Sheesh
Although their recruiting has been really good, their margin of error is very low. If they miss out on a couple recruits (which inevitably happens) and get a rash of injuries at certain positions, their depth could become dangerously low.
Wonder why USC has suddenly taken such a turn for the better the last 10 years. They were always good, and recruited well, but lately it's been insane, and this year, completely ridiculous. All that can be hoped for is that Kiffin does to USC what Florida State and Miami do to Florida State and Miami, and somehow consistently turn top 5 recruiting classes into mush on field product.
Looks like they're the team to beat for hargreaves too, they are ridiculous right now
Not only hargreaves but it seems Vanderdoes has commited too, this is getting annoying

Their class is getting ridiculous now.
EDIT: someone posted it above
With the pick up of Rodgers and Vanderdoes, that gives them a class of 14, with their lowest guy being the #162 guy in the nation. At this point, it's just silly how good that class is.
Two words: Song girls.
Go Blue!
This just proves that it is always a good idea to buy players. USC's punishment (which was deemed excessively harsh at the time by some reporters) was nothing compared to the benefits they have enjoyed in recruiting.
Personally, with the way they are recruiting right now, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they are STILL buying players.
They are the only major power west of Colorado. UCLA is down now so they get the cream of the crop in California.
