    Wow, that hurts USC. How many recievers did they get in the upcoming class? I know they didn't get the top 2 rec.'s this year. Some team in the SEC (forget which one) got both of them!

    Another thing... Jacobs might head to McNeese after transferring from A.U. I heard he was thinking about McNeese before he tried his hand at defense. For the Cowboys sake I hope he goes to them.

    That hurts but IMO they are in a situation like ours with WR's now. A lot of young talent. Steve Smith and Whitney Lewis from last year were 5 stars, and this year they got 5 star Fred Davis and 4 star Dwayne Jarrett. Could be some others I'm missing but those are the main ones.

    They got Bumpus and Fred Davis. Pretty damn good receiving class.

    Not meaning to come off strong, but Mike Williams is a STAR! I believe if he does actually comes out he goes top 3 (probably no. 1 to San Diego). It will be next to impossible for USC to replace him. Not saying USC doesn't have talent behind him, just no one to replace him (but who in college does?).

    Can't wait for September!

    Williams doesnt have enough speed to ahead of Fitz. He basically a Keyshawn clone. Very Big receiver that can catch across the middle.

    He won't go #1 for sure, but likely he'll be a top 10 pick. He is not the receiver Fitzgerald is, Larry can do everything Mike can do...and he is faster with a guaranteed work ethic (basically he's the Eli Manning of WRs this year).
