The USC recruiting staff and/or coaches dropped the ball on this one. They didn't see the RB he was and put him on the back burner instead of making him a priority and it bit them. Happens all the time at all schools, but let's just call it what it is instead of spinning it.
As for the AJC, this is a Carvell article right? He is just trolling for hits. That's his thing. Trent Thompson has 47 of 48 crystal balls going to UGA...can anyone guess who that 1 is?

I know I personally had Chubb high on my covet board and would have paid him to come here if he would have ever answered my tweets, phone calls, letters or emails.
So he's being just a bit hypocritical IMHO.
Kid is a beast though. He worries me more than any back UGA has had in a long long time.
He still would have been behind David Williams on the depth chart for the next three years, so I get the real reason he's feeling all butthurt.

That is stretching things to the max. You don't "schedule" offers with kids, you offer them when you feel you need to.
That said, our old staff was lazy with recruiting outside of Chris Wilson, it is not surprising that they screwed this up, I felt they offered him much too late and started really trying to recruit him much later than they should have. They absolutely screwed up, but that line is hilarious.
LOL now who's stretching? Even most on the UGA board here admit that UGA does it pretty much like the USC staff does it, when it comes to in-state prospects: they hold off on offering them unless those prospects are clear-cut #1 on their board for their position, and/or that school has a serious need to replenish depth.
The idea is that giving an offer to an in-state kid when there's others at his position that are higher on your board is a bad thing to do. What if that higher-rated prospect also chooses to come to your program? Will you have the room on the roster to accept him? What if you don't, and you have to pass on him due to giving the scholarship to another at his position that YOU feel is several levels lower?
And if you choose to pull the offer from the in-state kid who committed first to make room for the better prospect, then that's a PR disaster for your program that can hurt in-state recruiting for years to come. The hope typically is that those in-state prospects will still hold your program above others from out of state, because they grew up following and favoring your school, and have family and friends surrounding them that are all lifetime fans of your school. It's a built-in advantage...
That's what USC's staff under Spurrier has done with several of our in-state prospects, and it's also burned us a time or two. It's nothing new....
