Cracks in Flournoy commitment?

| | Comments (14) |

For you late-nighters, here's more from receiver DeVon Flournoy, a USC commit who will take his official recruiting trip to UCLA on Jan. 9. There have been rumors that Flournoy has been wavering on his commitment to USC, although he said it's still solid.
``I realized you can't go to school for what it has but rather how it can help you,'' Flournoy said of the recruiting process. ``Being a football player, you want to touch the ball as much as you can but get a degree that means something, too.''

Some recruits take trips to see cities or areas of the country they have never seen before. That is not the case here. If he trips to UCLA that means there's a chance. Neuheisel has an opportunity to close the deal with this young man. Bring it home. GO BRUINS!

He wants a degree that means something = He wants one with UCLA on it.

He wants to touch the ball = He wants to play for UCLA.

Done deal. CRN and Norm Chow will get him.

Don't you want to be the next OJ Simpson?

Flournoy, now you're thinking! Come to the UCLA, where learned men and women flourish. Join the school of Jackie Robinson, Arthur Ashe, Lew Alcindor, Karch Kiraly, Michael Warren and so many great student-athletes.

Don't just become a great football player, but a great student, a great person, to develop and manifest the greatness within yourself. It will happen at Ucla.

Sure, forget about BCS games and the Rose Bowl. Be a part of something special--Hello Las Vegas Bowl, Hello Sun Bowl, hello 4-8.....

Stick to hoops!!!!

And how many BCS bowls has ucla won in its history?

"Anonymous" - Is that you Kenny Norton? Gotta stop obsessing over a team that's never won a BCS game.

Kenny, rumor has it that one of the coaches at UCLA told DeVon that a degree from UCLA has great value. You may want to call the LA Slimes office and let them know that one of the coaches at UCLA is telling players this. You better hurry since you are responsible for recruiting Flournoy and don't want to lose him like you did Presley and Carroll

Petey cries when the video of his sonny boy "Spaulding" showcases nepotistic mediocrity.
Petey cries when a 4-8 team gets a little physical.
Petey cries when his best "fingertaped" recruiter gets gets beat for the #1 tight end in the country.
One instance is an anomoly. Two is a trend. Three is certifiable evidence that Pete Carroll needs his blankie.....WAAAAAAHHHHHHH.

"Don't you want to be the next OJ Simpson?" - Maybe OJ can say hello to Darryl Henley when he goes to prison.

"Anonymous, I know the answer: 103!

It really doesn't matter if this kid plays for usc, if he doesn't want to compete for his position he should go some place where he doesn't have to. Gutless players don't belong at USC so if you don't have it take it some place else.

Trojan football will always be the best in the West!
