I enjoy how you tried to make the case that you are some kind of definitive source with regards to Adoree, then later showed there's no reason for anyone to take what you say as true.

There are plenty of people who have sources real sources that say Adoree is no where near a USC lock, and that LSU has a pretty decent chance at landing him.

With regards to him always visiting USC, so what? LSU was Landon Collin's second home. He was here every weekend, and it meant nothing in the end. Sometimes actions are just convenience.

All other info has him leaving the west coast to play at one of the best football AND track & field programs in the country. And he's not even from cali. All his visits have been to the south and his post visit interviews have been very telling about the type of atmosphere he is looking for. I'm not saying he won't end up there, but none of the west coast programs fit that criteria. He wasn't really enamored with sc when kiffen and o were recruiting him, but a Lupoi-less Sark will swoop in and close him this late? Don't know about that. I understand that people need to temper their enthusiasm, but coach Raymond visited Adoree last friday at his own request and the coaches are trying to get him in for another visit in January. Sark was recruiting him at wr when he was at UW and Adoree wasn't really interested. If he's recruiting him the same way at SC, it may not be exactly what he wants to hear.

i don't think anyone is more than cautiously optimistic about Adoree

I am.

Barton Simmons recently said he thinks LSU has a good chance with Adoree Jackson. I am not counting on it though.

But does he have any canes?!?!?!!1

There are no certainties in college football recruiting. He's a strong SC lean though.

Jalen Greene, AJ's QB at Serra, just committed to USC.

The high school is 11 miles, give or take, from USC's campus. It wouldn't be shocking if AJ goes elsewhere, but if he wants to stay close to home, that opportunity is there.

Obviously he remains uncommitted. USC just had a coaching change. I don't think the choice helped or hurt with him - he's considering the school (again 11 miles from his high school). I think we're competing, but I think he remains a USC lean.

I think we have shot with Jackson, but we are by no means the favorite. To say it's a long shot sounds a little too negative, and despite what the crystal ball says, I think we have a much better chance than Florida, but if I had to put some arbitrary number on it, I'd say at least 90% chance he goes to USC.
