Rumor: USC should be concerned with
Miami in
Quentin Hale’s recruitment.
Buzz: USC was always a frontrunner for Hale throughout his recruitment and the Trojans eventually fended off Alabama, Oregon and others throughout for the Corona (Calif.)
Centennial standout who played the majority of his career at Los Angeles Cathedral, whose football field overlooks the Los Angeles skyline.
The rumor here, though, is that Hale’s recruitment is “heating up” according to a source after so many coaches have been out in recent weeks and have seen just how dominant he’s been. When asked which team has been making the biggest waves in his recruitment, the four-star receiver had a one-word response:
Miami.
That backs up other intel we’ve been hearing over the last few days and with the Hurricanes flipping Wright from Georgia, the coaching staff could be gaining in confidence.
Maybe if the NIL number is something astronomical then Hale could be up to something but his connections at USC, his relationship with position coach
Dennis Simmons and his familiarity and closeness with the area, this still looks like a challenging flip unless the financials just knock it out of the park.
Decision: Sell the rumor
