Marlon's dad was not a tenured professor at UW. Last time I check, Sirmon did have his US citizenship

I'm telling you man. Don't count this kid as a lock. I don't care where his dad works or that his cousin is also committed to UW. He could easily come out with a "I have to do what's best for myself" type of decommitment tweet. Being the lone QB commit of what will be another elite SC class is attractive to any QB recruit. Don't be a Doog and give this kid a chance to sucker punch you in the gut.

You are totally missing the point ...

I don't care about any recruit from the standpoint that when a program is built the way it is supposed to be, the names of any single recruit is meaningless and what matters is the competition that they bring into the program.

It's important to have Yankoff in the class and Sirmon to push him. It matters that Dylan Morris is coming in behind to push Sirmon/Yankoff.

Some USC fan on Reddit was commenting that ... "His numbers are absolutely crazy, but a lot of USC fans are actually anti-Daniels. He has an absolutely incredible o-line and several 5-star wide receivers, so the talent gap between Mater Dei and the defenses they play is absurd. Additionally, he doesn't really have any running ability which is huge for USC fans following the Browne/Darnold battle and the difference between their styles during games."

Okay. Is this the "USC arrogance of old"? ... or rational analysis?

I'd still accept his commitment tho' lol.
