    I saw Sa'Vell and Hatchett remain solid but I did see that Esteen was at USC this weekend. I hope the coaches let him...

    If SC makes a good coaching hire, Esteen and Jackson might both flip there.
    Possible but if Meyer was hired at USC, they are putting the full court press on the best available players in the country. National recruiting from his ties in the Midwest and Florida. I think they will be going after bigger names than Esteen and Jackson.
    It depends on the time table. He would probably go after them for a couple of reasons.

    1) The current class is very small, and will need capable bodies to fill it

    2) It's a lot easier to flip high end three star guys than four and five star guys.
    Why? Is there evidence that three star kids flip more frequently? Honestly, anecdotally I would think the opposite. Four and five star guys seem much more likely to flip. Obviously part of that is they are more heavily pursued, but I also think the mentality of kids who have been stars most of their young lives makes them more susceptible to the next great pitch.

    And Urban's a master of that pitch.

    Not saying he couldn't flip Esteen and Smith if he were at SC, don't twist. Just saying I do think he could flip more heavily pursued guys.

    I'm thinking many of these kids don't have as many offers as the others.

    Sounds like Washington is not a cool place to go if you’re not winning 10 games a year. Better nut up and close out the season well.

    Is it because lake is leaving? Or because will harris to busy coaching DB tackling techniques and not recruiting???
