RECRUITING

Sometimes The Best Prospects Are Right In Backyard

I have to admit I am still flabbergasted USC did not offer Orange Lutheran QB Ryan Hilinski until yesterday.

So I asked a recruiting analyst with a major site his opinion: “Maybe they wanted to make sure he was interested?” he said.

Perhaps. But maybe he would be interested if offered sooner.

How is it possible that a Trinity League quarterback requires more evaluation than someone out of state who is rated lower by every recruiting service?

Again, I’m just asking questions. Like I said before, I think Hilinski is better off at South Carolina. But the way USC throws out scholarship offers, I can’t believe he did not receive one sooner.

  1. Didn’t he say that because of what happened to his brother, he wanted to play out-of-conference because he didn’t want to drag his parents into stadiums that would only trigger painful memories?

    1. I believe I read the other day that his brother gave him advice before he passed that he should play for a southern or sec school. So as a tribute to his brother he chose the best sec school that would fit. Why his late brother advised him to play for a sec school I don’t know
