Lane Kiffin got a solid jump on the Class of 2015 when he got 13-year-old David Sills to commit to USC.
Wait…what?
From ESPN Los Angeles.com:
“His skill set is off the chart,” Clarkson said. “I’ve never seen anyone at his age do what he’s been able to do.”
Clarkson then directed Kiffin to a video of Sills that is making the rounds on YouTube.
Kiffin watched it and called him back immediately.
“He was like, ‘This kid is incredible. How old is he again?’
“I was like, ‘That’s the problem, he’s 13.’ ”
A couple of hours later, the Sills family called Kiffin and they spoke for the first time. USC had always been Sills’ dream school, according to his father, David Sills IV.
“I’m as shocked as anybody,” Sills’ father said. “I was just talking with friends yesterday about what it’ll be like four years from now when David goes through the recruiting process. I never expected this to happen so soon.
