He goes to Junipero Serra. That's a USC pipeline. Would be surprised if he ends up somewhere else.

Adoree Jackson = Vol If not Tennessee, Florida His final 3 were SC, UCLA, and Florida. If he is staying local its going to be for USC. SC or Florida, mark my words. When did he narrow this down? Based on the Tennessee rivals website, it's UT, UF, USC battle with UT having a lot of momentum and USC falling behind. Plus, he is from St. louis. Not Cali. All of his family lives in IL and TN gives them the best opportunity to see him play, which is apparently huge. IMO, this is what UT has going for them: SEC program Tradition of football players excelling at track, too. Family atmosphere (said that is a huge factor and this is Coach Jones' biggest recruiting card right now and the main thing he tried to install at UT) Seems to be friends with our recruits and feels at home here. Parents pushing UT BBall coach Cuonzo Martin is a family friend and distantly related Obvious immediate playing time...not so much at FL (no matter how they spin it) But this kids recruitment is up in the air. He is one of those recruits that teases all the schools and fanbases just to create noise and attention in the end when all schools think they're gonna get him.

He goes to Junipero Serra High School which is in Southern California. Not sure where you have read that Tennessee is still in it, but that is untrue based on everything I have seen.

Disregard what I said. I misread several articles and what I had thought was his final 3 schools, were actually the final 3 schools that are being considered for his final visit.
That being said, everything I have seen has USC and Florida on the top of his recruiting trail. As you said his recruitment is up in the air, and I dont think anyone will know where he is heading until signing day.

I just ran across this article.. Very interesting. Apparently, being named a 5 star QB has kind of been the kiss of death this last decade.. www.saturdaydownsouth.com/2014/five-star-quarterbacks-last-decade/2004 - Six 5 star QBs Rhett Bomar, Oklahoma - Bust Xavier Lee, Florida St - Bust Anthony Morelli, Penn St - Bust Chad Henne, Michigan - Hype was warranted Matthew Tuiasosopo, Washington - Bust Bobby Reid, Oklahoma St - Bust 2005 - Two 5 star QBs Mark Sanchez, USC - Hype was warranted Ryan Perrilloux, LSU - Bust 2006 - Three 5 star QBs Matt Stafford, Georgia- Hype was warranted Mitch Mustain, Arkansas - Bust Tim Tebow, Florida - Hype was warranted 2007 - Four 5 star QBs Jimmy Clausen, ND - Mixed reviews Ryan Mallett, Michigan - Hype was warranted Tyrod Taylor, Virginia Tech - Hype was warranted John Brantley, Florida - Bust 2008 - Three 5 star QBs Terrelle Pryor, Ohio St - Hype was warranted Dayne Crist, Notre Dame - Bust EJ Manuel, Florida St - Mixed reviews 2009 - Four 5 star QBs Matt Barkley, USC - Hype was warranted Russell Shepard, LSU - Bust Garrett Gilbert, Texas - Bust Aaron Murray, Georgia - Hype was warranted 2010 - No 5 star QBs 2011 - Two 5 star QBs Jeff Driskel, Florida - Bust Braxton Miller, Ohio St - Hype was warranted 2012 - Two 5 star QBs Jameis Winston, FSU - Hype was warranted Gunner Kiel, ND - Has time to turn it around, but looking like a real bust atm.

Hahahah well I was plain wrong on Adoree. Eliminated UT. This is surprising to most because the mods that were saying Tennessee has a legit shot are apologizing saying they don't know what happened. Tennessee was even getting some predictions on Adoree. Well damnit. Looks like UT fan base got trolled. Just one of those recruits. USC/UF battle now

He has to be a trojan. Cant see him going somewhere else at this point.
Assuming he does pick SC, I cannot see where he would play on defense as their is too much depth in the secondary. Probably see him as an offensive weapon.
I just hope we have consistent QB play from week 1 next season. Kessler was solid in the second half of the season, but my no means great. Maybe Max Browne can be the guy this season.

Wherever he goes I guarantee you he'll be used in all aspects of the game. You'll see him in the slot, as a DB, a returner. I don't know much about USC's depth overall but you can't possibly keep him off the field. He's just too dangerous of a weapon
