Guys Like This, You Can Have...

What did he expect exactly?

Five-star athlete Tony Jefferson (Chula Vista, Calif./Eastlake) decommitted from UCLA following an official visit to USC and will now decide for either the Trojans or the Oklahoma Sooners, ESPN's Greg Biggins reports.

"The UCLA players really disrespected me before the game," Jefferson said. "When they saw me, they were all cussing at me, telling me to never come around Westwood again and things like that. These were guys that I had hung out with before and it was a lot of the team. I guess I kind of see it since I was committed there and was wearing USC gear before their big game but I still didn't appreciate it."

The nation's No. 1-rated ATH will not take anymore trips. "Oklahoma is coming over Tuesday for a home visit. I'm sure USC will be coming in too but we haven't discussed it yet. Like I said, right now, the two are dead even and I really like both schools a lot. This whole recruiting thing has been crazy and I can't wait for it to end. There has been so many twists and turns but it should be over soon and I'll be glad when it is."

The ESPNU 150 prospect initially committed to Stanford as a junior.

Same shit everywhere, every year

Happens every year with every program and recruit… Last year it was Randall Carroll singing the disrespect song… This year is Tony Jefferson, next year another hot recruit…

Old news.

I don't want the dumbass.

But he probably didn’t want to be a Bruin all that much if he’s wearing USC gear. But to be shocked about how UCLA acted while wearing cardinal and gold? Moron.

We feel the same way about Randall Carroll

I don’t think we were quite as emotional about RC and Morrell Presley take it over there.

Who?

RC and MP, 0 receptions. Did they even suit up? I don’t even remember seeing them on the field. Not good if you are a 5 star recruit and cant’ get on the field for the nation’s #100 offense.

Personally, I couldn't care less ...

Can the guy play? Then I’ll take him. I don’t care how they act, what they do in their spare time, where they’re from, etc. etc.
I want guys that can play … I’ll leave all the other BS to you guys.

I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.

I think it matters a bit.

It speaks directly to decision making. If a guy is that clueless about his actions, what the hell is he going to do when he plays for your school? He may get in trouble not for being a bad kid but for making uniformed, stupid decisions like the one above. No team needs that kind of press. Again, if you’re THAT dumb, I don’t want you on my team.

At 17 or 18 years old

do you think you’d make a decision like that? I can tell you without question that I wouldn’t. I would be willing to bet money that wee-little-baby-Paragon wouldn’t either. I’m gather that most recruits don’t.
