Dietrich Riley tidbit
Not good, but I heard Dietrich Riley tell Jeff Luc in the players lounge, "C'mon be a Trojan." Luc responded with, "c'mon, be a Seminole."
Like I said earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if Riley ends up at USC, no matter what he says about his other three favorites.
Riley is going to USC. He canceled his cell phones and ND doesn't have a way to reach him, and they've been trying very hard to do so. Heard ND has called his HS coach numerous times and he hasn't returned their call to help them get in contact with Riley.
I've heard Riley committed to USC last week.
Thx Hoffy. This was expected, maybe D.Wright will think twice about SC now.

.With Elam out as a Florida commit, the staff can now get out of his stranglehold and go after another safety. That safety has to be La Canada, Calif., St. Francis High’s Dietrich Riley. He had Florida at the top of his list during the fall, but after the staff advised him to hold off on taking an official visit, it seemed that either USC or Tennessee would get the upper hand. Now, Elam is out and Riley is the top safety left on Florida’s board. He was spending his time in St. Peterburg for the Under Armour game with Gator commits Josh Shaw, Chris Dunkley and Cody Riggs. Riley told the Orlando Sentinel that Florida is in his top three schools and that he’ll visit Gainesville this weekend.
Lets hope that he does see through. If he doesnt then you are absolutely right. :rock:wow.... Florida tells him,
"um, kind of hold off on visiting us, we've got this deal with Elam that we won't take any other safeties.... yah, sorry about that. Goodluck at USC!"
Elam decommits;
"So, uh, Riley, we've got great news!!! We'd love to have you visit our program and guess what, your offer is still intact!!
If D. Riley doesnt see straight through this bs he's a DA and I don't want DA's playing for UT.
I believe that with the Shaw commit and if Powell commits this weekend, Riley will be a Gator. IMO it really comes down to him being a Cali kid because looking at the USC depth chart against UF and UT NO way this kid would commit if he wasn't a Cali kid. California DB Dietrich Riley still has Gators among his final 3 with USC, Tennessee - OrlandoSentinel.com
Wasn't Riley the one wearing USC gear and hanging out with the USC recruits at the UA game?We've been intimately involved with this kid's recruiting and he is enjoying the process. As of 2 weeks ago he told Hubbs we still led for his services. All of his interviews make it seem as if he likes whatever team he's interviewing for the best.
HG - I wouldn't get my hopes up over this kid. His positive comments about UF are identical to positive comments about USC, UCLA, ND, UT and UF. IMO, he stays on the left coast. He is just enjoying a few free trips. No insider info on this, just pure speculation.
