Cornerback Dwight McGlothern was supposedly a silent commit to USC. He visited USC in mid-December and was going to announce in January. That’s was right around when Mike Bohn made his big “four silent commitments” comment. But then LSU got interested. Suddenly, McGlothern said he was delaying his announcement.
