The Pac-12 Thread....

I don't know anything about horses so guess it depends on how many. At least back in my day most pitchers were on scholarship, the star hitters were then most everyone else was on partial or academic scholarships or walk ons, not sure how it is now. But that is one thing that has always bugged me if with how much "sacrificing" football and basketball players do, when most ball players do more and, at least in my day, a good portion had to actually do well in the classroom. It might be different now I don't know but back then you saw a ton of HS players going professional when they are picked after round 10 which is just nuts.

Per maxPrep, USC has jumped to 6th in the nation for 2013 recruiting. Bama tops the list, with Georgia, Michigan, Texas, one more, I can't remember who, brain fart, sigh.


These top five already have about as many committs as USC has slots, ie 14-18 commits, USC has 17 slots, 2 extra from last years 13. Not bad at all.


Even though many of the best are already committed, if USC can maintain their quality of recruits, they could move up some. Surely aren't going top the list though. It just can't be done. Not with ten less schollies.....

True, but they can be tops in average stars per player. For last recruiting season, USC ranked in the top 10 overall, but was number one in stars per commit at about 4.08.    

tj12, that one is almost a given,LOL. We're probably one or two already per average rating, although the differences between say, Rivals and Scout rating are surprisingly wide..

I've always wondered how there can be such discrepancy between recruit ratings. I guess it just shows that you never know how a kid will respond to the next level of play. Some guys "peak" in high school, some really don't get going and develope until they get to college. You can measure a kids speed, etc. but you can't measure his heart or how bad he "wants it". 

Looks like Cal just lost a linebacker, dismissed for violating team rules......

I just checked out the Bleacher report and found a "pre-season" post spring, power ranking, whatever that is. The author claimed that he wasn't the one doing the rankings...I think you'll see why anyway this is reverse order as was posted.
