The nations 2nd rated WR, Vidal Hazleton is set to announce his commitment today at 3:40 on ESPNNews. The Finalists are Miami,USC, and Penn State.
Vidal had The U has his favorite for most of the recruiting process, but they are now no longer considered likely.
USC seems to be the next likely due to Vidal's friendship with Dwayne Jarrett, but USC hasn't really gone after him that hard even after losing out on Harvin. My gut tells me he will pick USC (I 4 WR set of Jarrett,Smith,Turner,Hazleton with Davis as a TE is sick), but USC is looking at other options,
Penn State is in the race for one reason, Derrick Williams. Vidal looks up to DWill like an older brother. Even though PSU has a strong recruiting class, and added another top WR this year in Chris Bell, PSU wants another tall,physical WR. Bell is tall, but is more of a sideline player while Hazleton more of an over the middle WR. (a 3 WR set of Bell-Hazleton-Williams is also sick and wrong. It would be the most talented WR corp in the Big 10 in a long time). In my mind I think he goes to Happy Valley, but as I said, my gut tells me Hollywood will lure him to USC.
I will keep you'll updated later on.
