| Highly regarded Lawndale (Calif.) linebacker signed a letter of intent to attend USC on Wednesday night, going back on his oral commitment to BYU in January. Apparently Pete Carroll has told Kaveinga he will hold his scholarship so he can serve an LDS mission. I call "bull." If Kaveinga wants to attend USC so he can play for a national title contender and maybe get in the NFL, that's his choice. But to my knowledge, there has never been an LDS kid that has been a top recruit, gone to a BCS school and then served a mission. Sound a lot like the story Cottonwood running back Stanley Havili told before choosing USC a couple of years ago. I don't think he'll ever serve, either. From what I've been able to find out, Kaveinga's parents and family really wanted him to go to BYU but he wanted to go elsewhere. So they probably pressured him into making that oral commitment to Bronco back in January. It stands to reason that his family wants him to serve a mission and he's told them he would. But just like his commitment to BYU, he's just telling them that to please them. Just my opinion. Take it or leave it. | ||
