Why is everybody being so adament about Rex being wrong? Look at the signs for the answer you seek. Orson Charles has waited almost an entire month for his visit to SC. He gushes everytime he mentions SC and stated they were a childhood favorite. He also has mentioned his mother just wants him to get an education, and that distance would NOT be a factor. He is currently at the SC campus on a typically spectacular 75 degree So Cal winter day. His mother is in tow, and the coaches are giving him the tour.
I would say I am VERY, VERY confident that he will become a Trojan. If he wanted to go to UGA, he would have pulled the trigger. That ship has already sailed. Matt Barkely and Charles have already met on a few occasions and formed an instant bond. Also, Tampa native TJ Bryant, and new commits Frankie Telfort (Miami) and Jawanza Starling (Tampa) are chatting with OC on a regular basis. Starling, in particular, is fairly tight with OC.
We will all know more on Monday. However, I would say Rex is much closer than anyone else here. OC will be a Trojan by Sunday. If he is not already!

Read between the lines:
"And when I was at the basketball game I got to sit and talk with the coaches about my role."

They talked about his role at a basketball game? They didn't even give it serious one-on-one time? As much as Orson has been calling our coaches and UGA's coaches talking X's and O's that can't be good for USC.
"You can tell all those coaches have that switch that they flip during game-time. And that's real cool with me because I don't always want to be super-serious. Life's too short."

So the coaches were never serious. They never "flipped that switch" apparently. Just doesn't sound like a glowing review of the coaches.

here's more:
"Next week I'm going to turn my phone off and have my meetings with my family and the people that are important to me," he said. "I'm going to keep praying about it and then on Wednesday I'll be eliminating one or two schools.

"The distance isn't a factor if I feel like it's the right choice with God. My family said if I feel comfortable with them then I should go ahead and get out there. It's those wise people that I have in my life that will help me with the decision."

He was going to eliminate two schools prior to his USC visit and now it's "one or two schools." Pretty much tells me that he wasn't seriously considering USC until the visit, but the visit has him thinking. Usually that buzz wears off if it isn't a school you could really see yourself at.

I just don't see this kid at USC - I've been saying that for months now and I'm not going back on it. It's a UGA-UT race. Florida gets eliminated on Wednesday.

It said he had oatmeal with fresh fruit and alfalfa sprouts on the beach for breakfast, went ice fishing in the Pacific Ocean, and saw a Great White attack a surfer.

Oh, but it was 72 degrees.

"I'm trying to talk to Matt Barkley to renegotiate his jersey," Charles said with a laugh. "I'm hoping he will. "

Voldaddy,

Great post, my friend. However, despite the chuckles, there are several inaccuracies about your story.

First, Orson did not have oatmeal. That may be more popular back in the eastern US, where the thermometer often dips below freezing, but is a bit too heavy for a health-conscious Californian. And since Orson will be a CA resident soon, he decided to opt for the fresh granola he bought at the Farmer's Market in Santa Monica. It is one of the best in the world, so he had limitless options.

Second, although he indeed had a stunning array of fresh fruit (again purchased at the farmer's market), he did not accompany this meal with alfalfa sprouts. That would simply not be a suitable option. He did, however, have the sprouts later in the afternoon with a tofu wrap. So, you were real close on that one.

Finally, you completely gave an inept description of his day at the beach. Although the water is chilly, it would have to be several degrees colder for the next decade or so to form ice. And, the biggest fallacy you reported was that he saw a surfer being attacked by a Great White. Great White sharks are rarely seen in the waters of Southern California, so it was simply just a run-of-the-mill Tiger shark. And, he didn't see another surfer get attacked. Orson was actually the surfer who got bit by the shark! It seems as though Orson and Matt Barkley were involved in a heated exchange regarding the number 7 jersey both want to wear for the Trojans. The Tiger shark had enough of this nonsense, and attacked. He bit Orson, Barkley, Reggie Bush, and Kim Kardashian.

Orson, Barkley, and Bush were shaken up. Kardashian, despite having a four-inch gash in her thigh, said Reggie bites much harder. So, in essence, she didn't feel a thing. And Pete Carroll, who was masterfully carving some gnarly waves, took it to a whole different level of recruiting when he bit the shark back! Orson was so impressed that he signed the LOI on the beach with his own blood!

Good ole USC, the campus with the wrought iron security fencing to deter the gangs from entering in.
