'18 CA CB Olaijah Griffin (USC signee)

Lol!

Just funny that rival posters are insisting he is such a big fan... and he may be, just found it odd that he would spurn them for UCLA. Here's hoping he come's to the good guys :crossfingers::crossfingers:

He's probably just a dyed-in-the-wool west-coast kid. So UCLA or USC is where he is most comfortable.

Why just single out mom? His dad, and his world, grew up USC fans. Warren G's stepbrother - who he has collaborated with, Dr. Dre donated 70 million along with Jimmy Iovone to endow a music academy at USC. Ice Cube's oldest son graduated from USC Film School. So..dad and the people he grew up with, were connected in some way to USC. OG grew up a big USC fan.

People who were actually on campus during OG and his family during the USC official said he - not just his parents - had a great visit, enjoying himself. Our players seem to think he's ours.

He may chose Tennessee, who knows about 17-18 year old kid? His mom and dad will not hinder his choice, they've just made it clear that they hope he stays home.

Not according to this post...

probably so, would be really nice to have Cali kids want to come here again though; I know winning cures all kinds of ills, so I am really excited to see what CJP can do at Tennessee.. I really miss football season being fun.

Good catch, I didn't do homework, just shooting from the hip.

Need to land some of these corners

corners and DT's can't have too many!

I don't post here much, mostly just read... but if OG was such a big USC fan, why did he originally commit to UCLA, not USC??

I recall OG saying that he committed to UCLA because of the HC and his position coach. So he decommitted after Mora and his position coach were fired. Oh, I think he also said something about "Tennessee."

Warren G didn’t become Warren G by staying close to momma. This kid will blaze his own trail.

From SEC Country:

Olaijah Griffin, 5-star CB, Mission Viejo (Mission Viejo, Calif.)

There are several defensive back targets left on the board for Alabama heading into the final two weeks before National Signing Day. We touched on two 5-star cornerbacks on Monday and where the team believes it stands with them.

But there’s another 5-star cornerback who Tide fans should keep an eye on. That’s the nation’s No. 3 prospect at the position in Mission Viejo (Calif.) High School’s Olaijah Griffin, who is the son of legendary West Coast rapper Warren G.

Griffin de-committed from UCLA last month while in Orlando, Fla., for the Under Armour All-America Game. He named Tennessee as his top school after taking an official visit there in mid-December. Griffin is expected to be in Tuscaloosa this weekend before taking a trip to Auburn the weekend before National Signing Day.

It’s not clear where Griffin stands on the board as far as defensive back targets go because Alabama is firmly in the race for 5-star corners Patrick Surtain Jr., Tyson Campbell and Isaac Taylor-Stuart. In addition to those players, the team is recruiting 4-star safety Julius Irvin and 3-star cornerback Eddie Smith.

I plan on spending my final years out there with my daughter....nice little place in Columbia with all you adorable hillbillies.

I'll be that crazy ole Southern character. "Here in the South, we love our crazy, we don't hide them in the attic we bring them right down to the living room and show them off...". My kinda place.

Now you're talkin'.. I knew there was something about you I liked..

You WILL be a Vol fan, correct? I would hate to see the VolNation mafia come after you..

 

[drvenner]

Or would be agents giving his family free rent 200 miles away. Not USC.

I am 100% sure that no one in the USC AD knew this was going on.

Now the real question is how many syllables is rural

Why do you have to ask? There's clearly just one syllable in rural.

Come on now you know that's a trick question. It's more of a sound

Different strokes. Some folks give it a quick yodel.

 

[Jackcrevol]

itd be nuts if Bama took them all. just because.

 

[TennMan101]

How is that hard to understand? Both statements are true. They want him at home. But they will be okay with him leaving. Not a difficult concept.

It's called manipulation! Ever heard of it?

That is too harsh a word. Try "influence."

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

It's called manipulation! Ever heard of it?

It's called being a parent

Exactly, I would prefer my son go to a school close to home but I understand him wanting a little distance....as long as I can afford it. lol

“Griffin’s parents won’t let him make his own decision & are forcing USC down his throat. Need to get him off mama’s teet. They’re manipulators.”

“Tee Higgins parents should be ashamed letting him spurn his home town school. Can’t believe they didn’t raise him to have more pride than that.”
