well...it does give USC some hope but it didn't close the door on anybody else officially. Although I'm looking through orange colored glasses I'm going to wait until I hear he or someone close to him say he's not visiting Tennessee.

Pete Carroll is the true defensive coordinator at USC. He calls the shots.

He's a great defensive mind and a great developer of talent. If he wants to turn Carroll into an NFL CB, I'd feel bad for him to become a WR at Tennessee.

I'm not saying he can't play wide receiver, but I don't doubt Carroll's assessment.

Either way, I don't think it'll be a question our staff ever has to ask themselves, because I don't see him becoming a Vol.

All this speculation is wearing me out. With the break coming up, I fear many people will start going through recruiting withdrawal. It could get ugly--shakes, fever, hallucinations.

Bottom line, Carroll is a playmaker in the Eric Berry mold. A team could line him up at pretty much any skill position and he would do nothing but make plays.

Unfortunately for Tennessee, there is little chance he will leave the west coast.

This was on ESPN.com. He's now trying to decide whether to visit USC or UT on the last weekend in Jan.

Athlete Randall Carroll (Los Angeles, Calif./ Cathedral) took an official visit to UCLA this past weekend. Carroll talked about his visit, his future trip plans and how strong his commitment to USC is at this moment.

"I loved it at UCLA and felt very comfortable," Carroll said. "I know half the team already so when I'm there, it feels like a family. Rahim Moore was my host and I've known Rahim forever. I also hung out a lot with Jonathan Franklin, who's my cousin but really, we all hung out together and everyone gets along great on the team.

"I like where UCLA is located. It's a beautiful campus in a very nice area. I also like Coach Chow and Coach Neuheisal a lot and I think with those guys, they could have a pretty special offense down the road. They told me they need a deep threat because they don't really have that right now and I know that's something I could give them."

Carroll was set to visit Arizona State this coming weekend but that will now be pushed back to (Jan. 23).

"I'm not going to visit anywhere this weekend," Carroll said. "I'm just going to stay home and relax. Then I have ASU the following weekend and that last weekend before Signing Day (Jan. 30), I'll trip to either USC or Tennessee. I haven't decided yet but I do want to take one last visit."

As for his commitment to USC, Carroll says he's still a Trojan but is unsure if he'll end up there.

"I would say there's a 50-50 chance I'll sign with USC," Carroll said. "I'm just trying to figure out where the best place for me is and right now, I really don't know, I don't have that answer. I'm going to take these last few trips and hopefully have a decision on Signing Day."

Carroll said Cal is still very high on his list as well. I also asked Carroll about the rumors that he doesn't want to play corner in college and prefers receiver.

"Honestly, I'm fine with playing on either side of the ball, it doesn't really matter to me," Carroll said. "I'm more comfortable at receiver because I've been playing there my whole life and I only played a little corner at the end of our season this year.

"I think I'm a better receiver but I'm fine playing defense too and that won't have an impact on my decision. It's going to be where I feel most comfortable with the players, coaches and just the overall environment."

What's the date on that article?

When a visit to UT is more of an afterthought, and not even a definite, I'd say our chances of landing him are nil. Good luck Randall. Hope it works out well for you.

Agreed. We were a long shot to begin with.. If he is wavering on taking a visit here.. I'd say it's all but done...

Yeah, they said on Rivals Blitz this morning that they are questioning his work ethic based on what he did during the UA week.

I think most of us quit on him on the 12th. A few people wanted it to sink in and they quit the next day.

He is done, period.
