Recruiting Scholarhip Check

USC could find itself with too many commitments and not enough scholarships. And for awhile, Muir cornerback Taeon Mason has been viewed as a prospect who might go elsewhere. Mason tweeted today that he had a “great home visit from (Washington State) yesterday.”

  1. Scholarhip = Scholarship
    Taeon = Tae’on
    Scott = Illiterate

    Inside USC, where nothing is spelled correctly, and trolls are free to roam.

  2. Steve Sarkisian is a CLOWN, and he over recruits every position, except the one that counts the most, which happens to be linemen. Did he not learn anything from Urban Meyer, and how Ohio State destroyed Oregon at the line of scrimmage ? I know nobody else in the Pac 12 noticed, because Oregon ran all over everybody in their own conference . But when it came time to play with the BIG BOYS, the Ducks just couldn’t handle the boys up front. That is exactly why Sarkisian will finish 3rd or 4th ever year that he’s the USC coach….. I GUARANTEE !!!!!

    • Well I’m gonna be honest with you. He came on late last year and our recruiting class was already full. This year Sarks gonna finish with some big DLine prospects and some really good OLine prospects. With a 5 star on both sides. That’s a real solid group. No offence, but it sounds like your a bruin fan just hatin’ or you just don’t like Sark. Now as an SC coach, I’m still on the fence with Sark. But as recruiter Sarks holden it down.

      • Way too early to judge Sark on coaching prowess outside of tremendous recruiting abilities, taking a winless UW program to a 9 Win season, and desire to compete with the best – FS is the real clown talking like that – I don’t agree with him 100%

      • Good points…Green would be a great addition.Committed are to incredible DL.Noah Jefferson jumped from unranked to 52 in rivals national top 100…Jacob Daniel jumped into top 100 also.these two are stud DL and if Green is added as expected Wow!! 3 Huge prospects…..somebody on staff did their scouting when it came to Daniel and Jefferson….

        • Noah Jefferson is a TREE – did anybody see that of the crew from this past weekend’s official? wow – he had big Jacob Daniel standing on his toes to not look small in comparison

          • The recruiting services do their work and make their money. Yet only 50% of 5 stars finish college with impact in football… Concerning star rating ..L.Williams was a 4 star from Fl.

          • Farmer was a 5 star..his freshman year kiffin tried him at tailback few times.. The star system has its merit,yet as I’m sure you know a lot happens from being a senior in HS to maturing into a college player. USC hit big this season with so many freshman playing well.

          • Mama is also tree, and moves like one. By all means SUCCster’s have Sark recruit trees.

      • I’m not hardly a Bruin fan, and I’m not a Sarkisian hater either, I just don’t think he’s the right Man for the job. Do you actually think he’s going to take USC to a national title game, and defeat the likes of a Urban Meyer, Nick Saban and Jim Harbaugh ? Really ? I know you can’t actually believe that. Ted Tollner was a great recruiter, so that means nothing , let’s see what happens come September, because I will be shocked if SC can even get out of the Pac 12 South.

          • I always knew Pete Carroll was a decent coach, but my concerns at the time were his recruiting skills. And once he hired Norm Chow, and secured his first recruiting class, I really had a feeling that big things were going to happen. Carroll always had a reputation as a defensive guru, so combine that with Chow’s reputation, and.. …Ta Dah !!

        • No disrespect Fred. I’m just passionate about my team. I hear you when you say you not all in on Sark. Give him a chance. This my sound stupid, but I’m defending our coach. He wasn’t my first choice, but he’s our coach so we might as well support the dude.

        • One more thing to add. Urban Meyer won his first title with a team that was stacked when he got to Florida. Chris Leak, the WR Caldwell were in the cupboard. Those were Ron Zooks players from his no. 1 class. You can say that Ohio St. he won with some of his kids but not all. He’s good but not that good.

          • I think your forgetting about his Utah team, that he and his staff stacked with talent, and took a 12-0 team to a BCS bowl.

          • Ok, maybe I don’t like the guy…But the big 10 is very watered down the last 4 years. Besides Ohio st., Michigan state is the only team that has progressed.

      • Fred has been on this blog for years. You just show up and start deciding who the real SC fans are?

        • Good for you and Fred. Did you read the part how I said “no offence”. Now maybe I don’t like to hear someone talking sh** about my schools coach. There’s a flip side to that coin. 6 months. That’s your opinion, but I wasnt bashing him like he’s bashing my team down, when the coach is busting a** recruiting these great players.

          • Mommy must be soooo proud she raised a RAH RAH. i’ll bet The red and yellow P.J’s with the feet, and flap in the rear…are just so comfy…but how do you deal with the ‘night terrors’ every year after getting smacked around by a team that practices on an 80 yd field?
            Kiffen was your guy….now sarkiffian is your guy…who’s gonna be your guy this time next year…Just some OTHER CLOWN….

    • You are 100% correct! Clueless- along with his game adjustment capabilities and creating a culture of toughness and grit. Sark has never presented a vision or a culture he wants to create here. Just another coach who will last 4 years and then be shown the door.

        • I’m not a hater at all. Recruiting only means something if you do something wiht the talent. If a coach qualifies this years season as “completely successful”-omitting his poor in game managment and for the most part unimaginative play calling as major areas of improvment; yeah, I’m skeptical if he has the chops to LEAD this program.

          • Exactly. We learned in the early 2010s that recruiting for need was more important that impressing Rivals and Scout.

          • He hasn’t recruited anything. This is his first class and it’s top ranked. He took a handicapped half a football team 1 game from winning their division in his first year. Let’s see what he can do when he’s on a level playing field with the rest of the NCAA.

          • gotta love how the condoms ‘stole” nico falah from us a few years back. Nice get…
            Fits in well with the other clowns.

    • He got the number one DT in country who has been committed to Georgia to come out for a visit on Jan 27th , If that’s not recruiting , I don’t know what is !

  3. Too bad. For months now it’s been looking like Tae’on Mason would not make it on to this class. He’s a good athlete, I think he would bring depth. But at the same time there’s bigger fish we are after and not enough spots.

  4. Mason should be a goner today. USC has more important needs by far and not enough room for Mason, who has other options, anyway. Not even a close decision. Bring in more LBs and DLs.

  5. He’s a great kid to be sure but he is a cornerback that lacks top speed. He can work on his speed or he can make up for that in physicality if he gains a lot of good weight but as it is we don’t need to use a scholarship for exactly that now.

  6. According to 247 Sports, Mason to WSU is already a done deal – “a day late and a dollar short” will be etched upon your memoirs.

  7. Gee, if I’m a head coach, I hope I have more commits than scholies available. Wolf, it’s called backup plan. Every school and every kid should be ready, things will get very fluid over the next 2 weeks.

  8. Mason for another DL sounds right. Add Marshall, Houston, Green, Masina, and Gustin and you have something special.

  9. If Washington State is a serious contender, then he’s probably not USC caliber anyways.

  10. Good luck Taeon, thanks for trying, every true Trojan appreciates your original commitment !

    Taeon Mason will be a very good Cornerback but room is needed !!

    Several more decommits probably comin up, room is needed

    5 BIG TIME RECRUITS COMIN UP !!!
    Biggie, Green, Houston, Gustin, Masina

    This Trojan class 2015 will be one for the Age’s…

    FightOn
