The Cameron Smith commitment will place USC above UCLA in the 2015 commitment class on ESPN. Already were ahead on rivals.

I still see #USC having right at double digit commitments going into September. Smith is commit No. 8.

Smith told us Sunday he wanted to wait things out and take his visits but decided this morning he was ready to end the process

Smith had talked about taking official visits before committing, but off record wanted to have a decision done before September.

And here’s what the fans had to say:

@ReignofTroy Very important get. Inside LB is a big need with possibly only Hutchings returning next year (if Sarao leaves early).

@SCTrojan_Sam @ReignofTroy Once John Houston commits, #USC will be set at ILB for the next three years.

@mikeufc @ReignofTroy You're definitely right about that. Think some outside guys might have to be moved inside to add some depth tho.
