I like the "We have better players on the line that want to commit anyway" take. Now, may be true. By the numbers, USC is having a hell of a class and they reportedly have heavy interest in #28 CB Olaijah Griffin and #32 CB Isaac Taylor-Stuart. If they got both of those guys, I'd be worried...
...if it wasn't USC. The last top 100 DB recruits they've gotten haven't done much. Leon McQuay was #32 just like ITS, and USC coached him up to a 6th-round draft pick. Demetrius Wright they coached up to go undrafted. Chris Hawkins was the #50 player in the country at CB, USC managed to coach him up to go undrafted but get a training camp invite. Su'A Cravens was such a good DB he got moved to linebacker, and Marvell Tell and Ykili Ross haven't shown a lot. Adoree Jackson, the #7 recruit in the country, is about their only success story, and he got drafted as a punt returner.

Kim would never allow such sophomoric behavior
this is a position of need, he is good, and nobody should ever turn down USC to go to Washington....."
Send this guy an invite he gets it!
That is Netscape era shit.

I like our chances.
