USC lands the top linebacker in Hawaii, Kaluka Maiava from Baldwin H.S. And he kicks things off with some well-played

respect/ass-kissing:

I told them I needed more time to think about it. But after watching the USC-Cal game, I knew I wanted to play for a

team like that.

But as seems to be the theme for Los Angeles football of late–good news for Trojans comes with bad news for Karl Dorrell

and UCLA:

During the summer, he had given USC rival UCLA a verbal commitment. But that changed over the weekend.

In my

weaker moments, I almost pity them.
