Chris Hawkins Is A Hot Prospect

  • Not sure both kids were extremely disappointed to not be offered on junior day, but like I said a trojan offer changes things for kids.One thing I can guarantee you neither kid wil be a trojan if the offer comes in the 19th hour.They want to be wanted not the last option.Its only fair. Fight On

    The answer is yes.But as parent if the university doesn't react to the fact that he is a EE kid that kind of send a message.A offer for chris isn't the same as a offer for other kids because its not counted the same way.As a Usc fan I would sit on this board and say the kid should just sit back and wait on Sc.As a dad that happens to be a Usc fan my views are different. He has some great orders that kids would kill for, Stanford, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Michigan,Cal and possible today Oregon and Lsu so why shouldn't he be able to enjoy the love from those schools instead of racking his brain about Usc. Fight On!!!!

    I have a very good feeling that your son will get an offer very soon...and it won't be soon enough!!! He sounds like everything we want in a Trojan.

    Fight On!

    I can't begrudge anyone for wanting to be wanted.I'm sure they won't have to wait till the 19th hour though.

    Sometimes the coaches are slow. This time last year Scott Starr did not have an offer and he early enrolled. Jabari Ruffin and Max Tuerk did not have offers either this early. All three were committed by the summer to USC for 2012 recruiting class. Another case Charles Burks was offered in October and committed for the 2011 recruiting class. Victor Blackwell did not have an offer until April or May of his year. Cody Kessler was offered in June and early enrolled. Chad Wheeler was offered in the fall and early enrolled. There many examples of players who had to wait for offers, a famous one is Marquis Lee who did not have an offer until the August or September.

  • Yeah, I think the evaluation process is starting soon. Coaches will be able to watch recruits. Hopefully this work out for the best

    Hopefully the coaches are starting to catch up on their "homework" in evaluating the CA kids and Chris is next.

    Fitts, Vanderdoes and your son are the three I kept scratching my head about wondering why they hadn't been offered.

    Glad to see things are starting to move. One offer out, two to go.

    Fight On!

  • I meant no disrespect to Chris. I don't live in SoCal and have only been following recruiting for a short period of time. I hope Chris gets an SC offer soon!

  • Welcome aboard Trojanham. I loved your characterization of camp as "shirts and draws football." Mike Mamula's of the world unite!!!
    It's how they play when the pads are on...
    And you do a great job mixing the dad and the fan and the objective observer into your posts. It is AWESOME to get the thoughts of someone who has all three perspectives and knows that! These have been great to read. I look forward to reading more observations from the likes of you and RahRah and other parents who can - and do!!! - set us idiots straight when we need it. Hope your son is a Trojan, and feel that he will shine wherever he decides to go.
    Fight on !

  • To be fair......
    Our DB's coach was not on board until after Junior Days.

    And being a potential EE is a huge benefit for USC. Even if the 3 that can be backcounted towards last year's class are already on board, USC would still love to have more of their recruits able to come in early and begin learning the system/playbook and getting a head start with their classes/adjusted to college living, etc.

    Hope this young man is offered in the near future and a part of what looks like will be a great defensive class and solid foundation for the future.

    peace
