Vernon Hargreaves Really Likes USC

If you missed it, and I somehow did, Vernon Hargreaves III (#1-CB in 2013) declared via his Twitter account that the USC Trojans are his favorite right now.

USC is my leader ! #Trojans #FightOn

This came shortly after he went to Los Angeles for a visit.  He also goes on to tell about the love he is getting from walking around in a USC shirt in Denver.

Walking around the airport in Colorado in my #Trojan shirt and keep getting "Fight on" from random people !!!

Just to keep showing how much VHIII likes USC, his avatar now includes a USC logo.

A week ago it seemed like his decision would come down to Florida, USF, and Miami.  Now USC comes in the picture and it looks like they are the team to beat for VHIII's services.

What do you think?  Do you think his love for USC is temporary or will VHIII end up wearing the USC jersey?  Comment below.

Is VHIII coming to Florida?

VHIII List Three Florida Schools As Favorites.  5-star CB Vernon Hargreaves III tells Josh Newberg of 247Sports($) that USF, Florida, and Miami are his favorite three right now.  He also said that he hasn't eliminated anyone yet.

Florida In Top 2 For Scott Pagano.  In a InsideTheGators.com interview($) with Rivals250 DT Scott Pagano, he listed Florida and LSU as his favorites.

"My top two favorites right now are LSU and Florida," Pagano said. "But you know, things can change."

In the article, he said that he would take trips to Alabama, Clemson, and Florida State (along with Florida and LSU) next month.  Right now, Florida has one defensive tackle verbally committed for 2013, Caleb Brantley.

At the Rivals Challenge today, Pagano showed up to the camp rocking a Gators hat.  Hopefully that is a good sign of things to come.

Side note:  Along with Pagano, there are three Rivals250 players in the state of Hawaii.  I'm impressed for such a small state.

More From Rivals100 Challenge.  Only one Florida commit (DT Caleb Brantley) will be competing this weekend in Atlanta at the Rivals100 challenge.  However, UF targets like safeties Leon McQuay III, Marcell Harris, and Demarcus Robinson will be at the camp.
