Prized national linebacker recruit Jelani Jenkins spurns the advances of Florida, Notre Dame, and USC and instead chooses to honor an old man’s dying wish and head to Penn State. Penn State coaches will alert JoePa once he wakes up from his nap.
Athlete Byron Moore — who committed to USC, then changed his mind — has run a double-reverse and is coming to USC after all, he said on ESPNU.
Moore had three hats on a table at Narbonne High — USC, Notre Dame and Colorado. He let his youth coach remove two of the hats, tossing Colorado aside first, then ND, leaving the ‘SC hat.
Asked by ESPNU why he had a change of heart, , the 6-1, 187-pound Moore said:
“Just my relationship with the coaches — Coach (Pete) Carroll, Coach (Ken) Norton, Coach (Rocky) Seto. They’re great guys. Every time I talked to them they always laid out a plan for me, how they were going to use me for the next four years. I just felt the most comfortable with them. I just want to stay home and play in front of my family and friends.”
Moore indicated that the USC coaching staff never gave up on him, despite his decommitment, and clearly that wasn’t the case. It was also clear, to the very end, that Moore had a very difficult time making this decision.

I saw this post on Tider Insider, and it was just entirely too awesome to pass up posting. I really, really hope this wasn’t tongue-in-cheek. Please GOD, let it be true. Seriously, this is the pinnacle of hilarity. I cried real tears. Just beautiful. Everything is awesome — the taunting of a child, the reason for his trip to the mall, the gangrene. It’s all just pure gold. Without further delay … enjoy!
“I was going to Lidz to get a new cowboy hat made out of a Keystone Lite box and 15 more shakers to put all around my CRIMSON Bike coaching shorts for the game Saturday. I’m about to walk out, and a man and his 7 year old son were walking in, all decked out in Big Orange.
“This is UT, folks, so I cut right to the chase. I ran up to them, yelling Yea Alabama at the top of my lungs, and shook a shaker right in that kid’s face. He was terrified!!! Then I told them both that Nick Saben had a little something for them all tomorrow night, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we won by 100. Then I told the kid that I heard Gerald Jones caught gangrene in his sprained ankle and was probably going to get it amputated. I figured he didn’t know what amputated means, so I said, “THEY’RE GOING TO CUT HIS FOOT OFF, VILE! RAMMER JAMMER!!!” What can you say to that? Nothing if you’re a toothless hillbilly. They both walked away looking dejected, muttering under their breath.”
