USC biggest threat to TN #1 class

[MikeHamiltonFan]

UF is pursuing a lot of the same players that UT is pursuing, but no one team will have a bigger impact than USC in terms of the potential to beat Kiffin to our favorite players. We are looking for several Cali guys here...From an article today:

Pete Carroll and his Trojans are in the hunt with so many elite players from all over the country. They may not be the leader in many of these cases, but you just can't dismiss Carroll and his program when they are involved. So be very aware of USC with running back Lache Seastrunk, wide receivers Chris Dunkley, Darius White and Christian Green, tight end Christian Thomas, offensive linemen Seantrel Henderson and Chaz Green, defensive linemen Jackson Jeffcoat, Ronald Powell, Ricky Heimuli, George Uko and Floyd, linebacker Jordan Hicks, Jeff Luc, Christian Jones and Josh Shirley, and defensive backs Dietrich Riley, Anthony Jefferson, Josh Shaw and Demetrius Wright and athlete Marquis Flowers. You just never know with USC.

Newberg.
8-9 of those are guys we want badly.

Doesnt scare me. We will get our guys!

My gosh the amount of talent on that list is unbelievable.

You could win the NC with that list of dudes.

Honestly don't believe we will get the #1 class, I would say top 10 though

there will be a lot of TN vs USC and TN vs Fla battles for a loooooong time....TN/USC are carbon copies of each other and evaluate talent the same. If TN offers you better believe USC will start looking at that player and vice versa..

We all know the Fla reasons..incredible speed and talent...how do you become USC but better? You get the best players from FLA, GA, AL...Pro style team with elite strength and speed

I agree completely with this. We are trying to beat USC out also for lots of guys on that list who are from Cali which is tough to do. The reason why we had to smoke UGA this year is that we need that GA talent and USC has never needed to get that. We need a Jeff Whittaker type guy because Uko eliminated us and will stay closer to home.

Josh Shirley, Shaw, Riley
even guys who already said no like Powell, Scroggins and Uko, we did everything we could and we did everything right.

Another way you get better than USC is when you have equivalent talent you do not lose to Washington.

I think Pete Carroll is not nearly the defensive coach Monte Kiffin is.

Florida and USC will battle it out for the top spot with Texas as well. Florida looks really good for Powell and Hicks. It also seems like Sharrif Floyd is leaning to us. If we land 2 of those 3 5-stars then we will be good.

Actually Floyd is most likely leaning to OSU after his visit. He shut down all his visits and UF most likely wont be able to make an in home before he announces. Look for Floyd to OSU unless UF can pull off something right at the end.

id say...lol. I really hope uf loses out on Powell and Floyd...although things look good for yall.

It wouldn't surprise me if Floyd went to OSU but I still think we have a very good chance. I also think Floyd will make 1 or 2 more visits, but it may be tough with his high school football games.

BS. He isn't taking any more visits until after the playoffs. Florida has as good of a chance as OSU -- probably better. I'd rather see him go to OSU, but what you're saying is just inaccurate.

We shall see... I will trust the info our insiders get from Ronald Powell, who has become good friends with Floyd during the process...over whatever you are "hearing"...
