USC gets a solid verbal from a 13 year old QB under the current tutelage of Steve Clarkson: http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/news/story?id=4888515

What bothers me most about this story isn't even the age of the kid or the seemingly high likelihood of him being Todd Marinovich, it is that Clarkson talked Kiffin into recruiting the dude with this logic: "You might call me crazy, but you've known me a long time, right? And when I said if there was going to be a LeBron James of football it'd be Jimmy Clausen that turned out to be a pretty good prediction."

That is actually one of the worst predictions I've ever heard!

hahaha -- even tho it's morally gross because of course this kid is gonna be like OMFG USC I'LL GO YEAH *eats a whole bag of sour patch kids and sexts all friends with the great news* it's pretty low risk -- if the kid actually turns out to be the lebron james of football then USC has a hell of a head start on him, and if he ends up blowing it then they can always just drop him, colleges do that all of the time

I read this elsewhere and thought it was some onion-y parody thing at first

but yeah, who cares, a verbal to a coach who most certainly won't be there in 5 years from a kid who might peak at 5'8 and 130 pounds for all we know.

lane kiffin is basically trolling college football at this point

hahah my exact thought today
