On Saturday, early BCS title favorite USC took the field for their spring game. But while expectations are high at Southern Cal, the on the field results left a lot to be desired. Simply put the Trojans just didn’t look all that good Saturday afternoon. Well, one reporter who covered the game was ESPNLA.com’s

It’s not often that we talk about recruiting here at Crystal Ball Run, and even less often (if ever) that we talk about recruiting when it pertains to kids who won’t be on a college campus for another three years. But in the case of a couple of elite high school sophomores in Georgia, we’re […]
