It's sometime in late July, but i don't think Scroggins will be able to wait that long.
USC will pull the offer, but would UF or UT threaten the same?
Or do you just think that USC and UT are the only real players, and that a pulled USC offer sends him to UT earlier than the Elite 11 camp?
I know the UT staff wants his commit asap to help with other offensive recruits...
USC doesn't even have to have a QB in the class. If he is who they want, they can wait until he is ready MUCH easier than we can. Our staff needs a QB and a high rated QB right now. We are having issues getting offensive kids to make a move. USC can wait until signing day if they want to adn it won't cost them anyone. jmo
The reason why i think he will commit sooner than later is because each coach (Kiffin, Carroll, Meyer) will want a decision one way or another, because each will want to know whether or not they should start exploring other options, and in UT's case, help offensive recruiting.

I think the big edge we have over Florida is that he has family in Tennessee.

Except if he doesn't qualify you have wasted one of the restricted LOI's that's now in effect on a position where there's solid depth and typically a plethora of good backs every year to recruit.
Overall, the quarterback talent at the camp was not deep with really only a trio of quarterbacks separating themselves from the pack, but there was little doubt that Scroggins was the best of the bunch. At 6-foot-2, he has solid height, but he won't impress anyone with his physical build. What is impressive, however, is with his arm strength. Scroggins displayed the ability to quickly release the ball and get it to its target in a hurry. He never really looked to be forcing the ball or trying to throw it hard. He looked natural in his drop and release and showed the confidence as a passer that he showed on film. He possesses good athleticism and displayed it facing a fierce group of defensive linemen in team work. He displayed the ability to sit in the pocket and deliver the ball as well as the ability to avoid the rush and create second chances. This Under Armour All-American is one of a few remaining uncommitted, highly-graded quarterback prospects in this class and might be the best .
