McDonald speaks

| | Comments (8) |

Here is a football notebook I wrote for today's paper, which deals with transfer news and commitments.
Also, when I spoke to Fresno Edison High cornerback Tevin McDonald about his commitment to UCLA, we talked about his family. His father, Tim, played at USC and in the NFL.
"I asked how he felt about (committing to UCLA),'' Tevin said. "He said he felt great, but of all schools, it had to be ucla? He told me it's a great campus, a great school. In his mind, 'SC is better. He told me Westwood was always the place to be, and he would go there to hang out."
McDonald said he canceled trips to Oregon and Washington after making the decision.
"I feel like now that 'I'm a commit, I don't need to take the trips," he said.

What does it mean? Did he or did he not receive an offer from Carroll? Isn't "great" better than "better"?

Tevin's talking about his reaction from his father(whom is a PUSC alum). Welcome Tevin!!! It must be exciting to blaze your own path.

nahhh...SC has known murderers and gangsters as alum not to mention gives many of them sideline and locker room passes for games and it doesn't seem to harm them.

Pooh's story isn't that bad anyways. His sister made some poor choices and he was just protecting his family like almost any good person would. Not disturbing at all.

Refreshing that he is not going to take any trips now that he's committed. We'll see if he can resist temptation as the year wears on.

Let's just hope he doesn't have any academic issues like many of our recruits.
