http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4891901

I don't see any problem with it. Obviously, he's a talented kid and if his dream is to play at USC... who is anyone to say otherwise?

I think David will live to regret this. I mean what if USC tanks of the next 5 years. Is he still going to want to go there if he is the top QB in the nation? I think it is just to early for this kid to say where he wants to go.

Though I wouldn't want to say verbal commitments should be handed out like nothing; if that happens, he can get out of it, according to the article.

Yeah he can back out, it still seems just too pre-mature either way. I mean would he understand if he isn't good enough in USC's mind to play there in 5 years and they don't commit to him then?

I don't know that he'd have much of a choice.

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I'm uncomfortable with it. Sure he can back out, but the kid would feel some heat if he did. A 13 year old should be enjoying being a kid and not have to deal with adult desires and pressures. Kids are growing up too fast as it is. Yeah, I know, maybe I'm just an old fart...

Wow, this is unreal. I only wish when I was 13 I had national exposure like that. Good for him. Hope to see good things come out of this kid. It'd make for a good story.
