The biggest prize of the day spurns USC for Oregon as cornerback Rodrick Pleasant committed this morning to the Ducks. This is a big loss for Donte Williams. He lost a big-time local recruit to his former employer. Do you blame Pleasant? Who has Williams developed? What did Domani Jackson do last season? There are other factors involved: Pleasant wants to run track and Oregon … Continue reading Rodrick Pleasant To Oregon

USC’s recruiting class can move into the top 10 if it lands cornerback Rodrick Pleasant and tight end Duce Robinson. Robinson is the nation’s No. 1-ranked tight end . . . but he might play professional baseball and football if he gets drafted high enough in the MLB Draft.
