I've said it before and not just with OSU prospects...I can't defend any kids decision to play for a school where Kiffin is. I would never, ever let my kid go to play for him. I can wish him an injury free career and say we'll be fine with out him, but that is all.

+2. Kiffin is a snake in the grass and so is Orgeron. I wish these kids all the best in their respective careers. As for USC, or more specifically Kiffin and crew, I blow my nose at you and I fart in your general direction....

Exactly.

Pac 10 was 2-2, Big Ten was 3-5. Big Ten not only had 4 more bowl teams, but always plays a much tougher bowl schedule. Pac 10 was 2-5 last year and the Big Ten was 4-3.

Add in the fact one of their BCS teams just lost their head coach.

Exactly.

Pac 10:

Oregon L to Auburn
Stanford W over Virginia Tech
Washington W over Nebraska
Arizona L to Ok State

Stanford was heavily favored over VT, and Oregon and Auburn was a toss-up. Washington already got crushed early by Nebraska, but they came into the game flat and dejected.

Big Ten:

Wisconsin L to TCU
Ohio State W over Arkansas
Michigan L to Miss State
MSU L to Alabama
Illinois W over Baylor
Iowa W over Missouri
NW L to Texas Tech

The ONLY big ten team favored to win by Las Vegas bookkeepers was Ohio State. Only MSU and Ohio State were ranked higher than their opponents on the Big Ten side. Baylor, Missouri, Texas Tech, Alabama and Miss State were projected to win by double digits.

Iowa was struck by suspensions and without most of their key players and NW played without Dan Persa. It is clear that the Big Ten had significantly less favorable matchups than the Pac 10. How else can you justify unranked Iowa vs #12 Missouri or Unranked Michigan vs #21 Miss State? The Big Ten is much tougher than the Pac-12, which, besides Oregon, USC, and briefly Stanford just isn't that good. Conversely, in the Big Ten you have Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan State, Illinois, and, before RR, TSUN.

Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes here. "He'll regret this decision down the road," "If he would commit to Kiffin and USC he isn't a kid we want here anyway," "Have a good vacation...", you all sound like a Michigan board. Drey made the decision that he thought was best for him. No one can ever fault or question that, because we have no idea what went into that decision for him. All we can do is wish him luck and be happy with the class we have.

Good luck and have fun in SoCal Drey.

I can understand the sour grapes bit when saying he'll regret it (he probably won't) or have a good vacation (it probably won't be a "vacation" for him), but I couldn't disagree more about him commiting to Kiffin. I'll say that over and over. Anyone who chooses Kiffy over JT, well he didn't want to be here, and he chose THAT dude over JT...that's simply not a solid choice. Everything ELSE about USC, I can get with. It's a great program, good school, great location, puts players in the NFL etc. But choosing Kiffy, that's meh.

I know it's not practical but this is why signing day should be in May, not February. Selling the warm weather to a kid that's ass deep in snow is an unfair advantage.

I totally agree. I applied for a job the other day, and they said I wasn't smart enough. I told them that they were discriminating against me for having a low IQ. So unfair!

Best of luck, Aundrey.

I personally would not choose USC and Kiffin over Tress and the Buckeyes, but I can see the appeal of going to USC for a highschool kid from NE Ohio ( I was one once, a loooong stinking time ago :biggrin: ). Of course we all love and admire Tress and his low key approach here on BP, but at 18 or 19, many kids are gonna go for the glitzier more "slick" choice. That's OK. We got an incredible class this year. I believe Aundrey could have had a great career at tOSU, and I expect he will at USC.

Go Bucks.

not sure if this relates, but De'Anthony Thomas is rumored to be switching his commitment from USC to Oregon. De'Anthony grew up less than a mile from the USC campus, so this would be a shocker...

Karma? We'll see :tongue2:


EDIT:

Thomas just committed to Oregon. Its official! That officially makes us #3 in the Scout rankings, while USC drops to #5
