USC football picked up their second quarterback commitment of the recruiting year on Friday in the form of three-star dual threat quarterback Sam Darnold. Naturally, Twitter had things to say about it. Here’s the reaction:

Fast-rising QB recruit Sam Darnold just committed to #USC per his high school. He joins Ricky Town, giving the Trojans two Elite 11 passers.

Sam Darnold has thrown for 7 TDs and 750 yards in HS career but still got offers from USC, Utah, Northwestern, Tennessee, Duke and Oregon...

Darnold to USC? For selfish purposes I was pulling for them to take a 2nd QB

Trojans now have verbal commits from #5 and #6 pocket passers in ESPN rankings with Darnold and Ricky Town.

So USC has Cody Kessler, Max Browne and Jalen Greene on roster, with Ricky Town and Sam Darnold committed for 2015. That escalated quickly

USC has been working the recruiting trail very steadily since Sark et al. came down from Seattle. The results have been outstanding

Guys want to come here and play and they love the prospect of playing in Sark's uptempo scheme. The results have already been felt
— Thanos (@FightOnTwist) July 18, 2014
USC will now have two upper-tier 2015 QB's with Browne and Greene waiting in the wings. Kessler still has another year, too.

Darnold shows he's not afraid of the Ricky Town hype. He emerged this spring, going from an overlooked prospect to a highly sought QB

Really want to see Darnold's film as a SR. Missed almost all of his junior season.
