On Sept. 2, during a student assembly in the gymnasium of Proviso West High (in Illinois), wide receiver Kyle Prater -- with a gobs of national fanfare -- said he had "committed" to the USC football program and intended to sign a letter of intent with the Trojans in February.
Fast forward a few weeks and suddenly Prater has a different idea of what "committed" means. Yep, you guessed it USC followers: His commitment is "soft" and he now wants to visit some schools, including USC, before making his "decision".
Don't you just love football recruiting?

I know one thing: If I'm the USC coaching staff, I'm taking a long, hard look at Lakewood High senior wide receiver Kevin Anderson, who "committed" to Arizona State in the summer.
If Prater is a significantly better prospect than Anderson . . . well, then he must be really something.
