here is my theory: Scroggins is a done deal with UT and has been for a long time.
here is why: Kiffin has a good relationship with Pete Carroll/SC and I think he is helping Lane by supposedly battling Lane for Scroggins. the exposure is priceless and this has helped to propell Kiffin and UT even further into the national spotlight as "the school" to go to by battling the Trojans and PC head to head in recruiting Scroggins. think about it unless its the NCG, we are no real threat to SC as far as distance and conference play goes. yes we will compete for home grown CA talent but its not that relavant this year. obviously Scroggins is good enough to earn an offer from Florida but he could, but doesnt want to be a spread QB. UF being in the mix is just a smokescreen.
I am telling you Scroggins is a Vol. book it. There are already 5 QB's at SC. 3 scholly QB's on the roster: Barkley, Corp, & Mustain, and two walk-ons: Green and Manoogian. Its Corp's spot to loose and Barkley will be challenging. The cupboard is full. Scroggins would just get red-shirted and would be a back-up for 3 years and likely not play a down for at least 3-4 years. he knows this. and its not like SC wont be signing a top 5 QB next year, and the next year, and so on. UT is his best option. it just makes sense.
