Recruiting: Giovanni Di Poalo Reaffirms Commitment to USC

From ESPN.com:

"He's a USC commit," Therrien said Tuesday morning.

"We weren't in school yesterday, but I talked to him today and he's here wearing a USC sweatshirt," Therrien said.

Therrien also added that Di Poalo has canceled the visit to Oregon and will sign with the Trojans next Wednesday.

"When all that coaching stuff was up in the air, he was up in the air," Therrien said. "But he's back with USC now."

Big news.  I had a good feeling about Giovanni coming back on board.  I think he's an underrated prospect that can be elite if he's able to put on the proper weight.  Right now he's listed at 260lbs but a redshirt year should do big things for him.  He reminds me sort of Jeff Byers.

Preferably we land 3 O-Linemen in this class.  With Giovanni locked up, the ideal situation would be commitments from Seantrel Henderson and Chaz Green. Definitely a possibility.

Recruiting: Former USC Commit Brice Schwab Picks ASU

Brice was one of the former commits I believed would end up elsewhere.  For now, I count this as an actual loss cause O-Linemen depth was a primary need in this class.  Although I've heard mixed reviews about Brice's potential, he did have prototypical size at 6'8 and 320lbs and more than enough raw skill to build on.  If SC is able to land Seantrel Henderson and/or Chaz Green and get Giovanni Di Poalo back on board, this loss won't be a big deal.

In related news, CLK hired James Cregg as the offensive line coach.  Not sure how I feel about this hire, since I know nothing about him.  Hoping he can recruit cause we need some OL commits stat.
