USC won’t have its first announcement to worry about until linebacker Matthew Thomas decides around 6:15 a.m. But five-star defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche is about to decide.

UPDATED: Nkemdiche said he will sign with Ole Miss. The decision causes ESPN to bump USC’s recruiting class out of its top 10. The Trojans were No. 8.

UPDATED No. 2: Ole Miss assistant Chris Kiffin is happier than Lane KIffin at the moment and I suspect I will say that again today.
