Seeing it's a month before signing day, I thought it would be interesting to post this poll now, and look back at it in February after he commits.
I would be shocked if he didn't pick USC. The whole official visits thing and the fact that I genuinely believe that it is probably his best decision (for his future), I think USC is a no-brainer.
*before I get bashed, I really hope he picks the Gophers.
I really think it could be the best place for him to develop as a player (and I think his father and him knows it).
USC?
There is a lot of evidence that USC mostly just "features" talent for the California audience, rather than foster it. In some cases it's pretty obvious they even squander talent.
There are 42 USC Trojans in the NFL this year. This looks good for them (it might even be the most in the NFL). Just for the sake of comparision, 18 Gophers cashed NFL checks this year.
But USC's ability to grow talent comes into question when one considers the huge number of blue-chip recruits that have played at USC over that time. For instance, from 2002-2004 Minnesota had only two 4* recruits. In this time, USC had 41 guys that were 4*+.
Considering this shockingly poor ratio of blue-chip recruits/ NFL players, it's not surprising to see an extremely talented 5* recruit like Reggie Bush to be playing behind 2 guys who were not very highly recruited and went to the D1 school in their home states (Arizona and Illinois).

Even Mike Morris made it to the NFL from some little school in Iowa!
30% of G-Holers honestly think that we will land Seantrel?
We're going to have a ton of disappointed people come early Feb...
Seriously. Delusion at its finest.
