It sounds like safety Leon McQuay III’s commitment last week took away defensive end Kylie Fiits scholarship.
USC used to tell recruits they could only receive a scholarship if they graduated early because it needed to save Signing Day scholarships for the best players.
Now the opposite occurred as it needed to tell a player to wait till June to enroll. This was always a danger from getting so many early commitments.
The question is whether Fitts can be convinced to remain a Trojan or if he is too upset and will go elsewhere. UCLA and Washington seem particularly eager to take him. And will USC have a February scholarship for Fitts if he waits to decide?
Fitts is turning into a HUGE pr nightmare for SC. Every bit of good Pete did in establishing local ties is being blown apart by Lane. LOL!
Oh no, Sped! Clearly you do not read the paysite USC blogs. Don’t you know this is all a conspriacy created by ESPN?
Yup. Dan Weber, someone I used to like, pretty much went there.
Doesn’t really matter. What matters is what the kids are seeing and saying, and what they are seeing and saying isn’t good.
Yes and Kylie says SC is a top program with a great staff. You f-ng bruin tool.
haha, believe what you will. Kid’s got more class than Lane, that’s for sure.
Just look for yourself dipshit, he tweeted that last night. If you are going to keep your head shoved up my ass change your screen name to Spedturd. Piece of bRuin crap.
Of course he did. It’s a nice thing to do. Kid loved SC more than anything. Like I said, he’s got more class than Lane. He’s also visiting UCLA soon.
If that’s what he feels is best, good for him. As I posted I wish HIM the best.
Speedie has it right, kids talk, they see how they get played by Kiffin. He turned down a die hard Trojan for a mumbling moron from Florida. Kiffin is a horror scene when it comes to PR.
If this McQuay turns into an academic bust, what a waste, when they could have had a guy that bleeds C and G.
The kid has a NINETEEN ACT !! How the hell is he gonna survive at USC ?
You think he’ll end up like Wiley?
I guess Kiffen must of already turned down the Chargers if their talking to Mora, right you guys?
Hopefully for Charger fans, they don’t want him. I’d rather have Mora than Kiffin any day.
I can see both Kiffin & Haden are not rushing to a microphone to explain their side of this story. They probably have none. I am now putting Haden (Mr. Smiley) in the same boat with Kiffin, as I don’t see him admonishing anything Kiffin is or has done.
Haden is doing nothing to run a respectable Athletic Dept. What happened to all the we’re going to do it the right way now?
Seriously… you get up every morning and look at your sports news source, you are thrilled to read a positive happens to the football program, but then you instinctively hold your breath there is something following it that Kiffin has screwed up on… I keep waiting for the next train wreak and…. it happens.
Think “Groundhog Day” with Kiffin
You can’t comment on these sort of things…NCAA violation
“With everything that has occurred I want people to know SC is one of the nation top programs and has one of the top coaching staffs”. This was a tweet from Kylie Fitts last night. That about says it.
Let’s hope Orgeron has been doing some serious damage control with Fitts last night.
This is a great kid.
Did it go something like this, “Pay no attention to what we said last week, this week we are telling you the truth!”
I thought Fitts already signed a LOI. Doesn’t that guarantee him a spot if he qualifies academically?
Mcquy has a 4.28 GPA. Enough of the nonsense. Either do your homework or keep quite.
HIS ACT is 19, do YOUR homework dumbass. His GPA could be 5, what classes is he taking? The bottom line is, he can’t do well on the standardized tests since his SAT scores is pretty much in line with his ACT score. He’s a moron.
Is he accepted at USC Einstein? Apparently he’s smart enough to enroll. All A grades arent the same as all D grades arent the same. What college did you play for. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please just be patient Kylie. Trojan fans love you and want you to come to USC. 9 weeks is not a long time.
Really, pick up a class or two at a JC and hit the weight room.
Kyle, it sucks that you were told one day before you planned to make your big move onto the campus. I feel bad for you and the disrespect that you were shown. USC was still worried about your injury and that cast doubt on your effectiveness. Best of luck to you and your family in going to a competitive program.
