Marquis Jackson Flips Back to USC

PrintI knew the Family ties would be too strong to ignore...(emphasis added)
After a topsy-turvy final week of recruiting that saw Marquis Jackson go from a UCLA commit, to a possible USC lean, back to a firm UCLA commitment, the College of the Canyons standout defensive lineman plans to sign a letter of intent with the USC Trojans tomorrow.
Jackson, whose brother Malik plays for the Trojans, did not sign a letter of intent with the Bruins today, and claimed he was going to take another day or two to think about his options, before pausing and saying, "To be honest, I'm going to USC."
"My mom was okay with me going to UCLA," Jackson said when asked if it was an issue of splitting up the family between the Trojans and Bruins. "But after putting some thought into it, USC was the better choice."
"I want to play with my brother," said Jackson, who will add another body to the Trojans' defensive line in 2010. "I called the USC coaches and said I was going there and they told me they would get me the paperwork."
Now there will be those from across town who will say it was grades. Jackson did have some grade issues. He wanted to play at ucla and chart his own path...but the heart strings were just too tough to ignore.
This is a good pick up for SC we need some help on the D line...Garry P said in the linked thread, this was a practical move.
Welcome Marquis!
FIGHT ON!

It's a nice problem to have when.....
a 4 star player brings down your average star rating according to Rivals.
Welcome Marquis!
If Vainuku is on board that would be a big YES!

Vainuku is 6-1, 245 and runs a 4.6
Top fullback in the nation. Though Kiffin and staff will MAYBE move him at MIKE.
Badabing!
You ask, the Snowman delivers!

i dont know about that
everywhere i read… it says florida has the best recruiting class of MAYBE ALL TIME…
so for usc to overtake them…. we must have the best recruiting class of all time
People put emphasis on Florida's defense
We’re the counter argument
Our offense eclipses their D, in my opinion.
thats is because ESPN hates USC and Lane
Tom Luginbill must have gotten pissed when USC didn’t recruit him out of Palamor JC

I thought Frak already confirmed.....
that Vainuku signed a LOI
Rivals.com and others, FAIL
Didn’t wait the whole night, now rivals will have to delete their article and make a new one for USC.
Not that team rankings mean much, but this is entertainment at its best.
:(
I forgot you’re in NYC. I had to write up a water polo beat for the school paper.
Plus I had some html trouble

I Wonder what Scout.Com is smoking…seems they can’t kiss Nutcase Urbans A$$ enough.
they have the gall to list fUCLA above USC, the fix is in!
Kiffen is now showing Urban up.
Amazing. I’ve been very quiet on the subject of Kiffin because I am unimpressed with the logic of the hire, but he and the other coaches have absolutely knocked this one out of the park.
DC,
sometimes logic is not in the mix…though I understand your incredulity. Anyone after Carroll is an anachronism.
Though it appears this young man has plenty of moxie and knows his way around the recruiting game.
Pete, on the other hand gained our support not only by winning games, but his personality and charisma and media presence.
I look forward to Kiffens so called brashness, or is it called Swagger? especially in the face of Nueheisel.
Sometimes you see so much potential that you have to buy into the opportunity early or miss out completely. Think Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, multimillionaires right out of high school. Lane Kiffin will measure up to the hype, and all the shit that’s been thrown at him will only serve as motivation. He is the perfect coach for USC.

Well you know Ucla is always talking about Pyramids and Monopoly they can have the games.
At USC we believe in just plain old WINNING so go play your game and shit on your old mans Pyramid.
