Kyle Prater the ESPNU #43 overall WR has pulled back from his verbal comittment from USC. He said in an interview with Tom Lemming that he wants to explore his options, and the is focusing on 3 schools USC, Oklahoma, and Illinois. He said he is planning on visiting all 3.
Prater was being recruited very hard by Tennessee and he listed UT in his top 3 or 4 before giving a verbal to USC. He is 6'6" 195 lbs. He is also gonna gradute in Dec. and enroll in school in Jan. We have alot of work to do to catch back up to Illinois and USC, but the fact that he has reopened his recruiting may give us a chance. I know we have already landed a bunch of WR but Kiffin was really high on this guy because of his size. Kiffin has openly wanted a tall WR for the red zone. This would be a great grab I think he could contribute immediatly especially in the red zone. You also knew that kiffin wouldn't quit recruiting even with a verbal, but maybe kiffin will smell evem more blood in the water with this decomittment. We have alot of work to do in a short time though since he is graduating in Dec.
