Sills, 13, commits to USC

Lane Kiffin really is getting a jump on recruiting.

No sooner had the Trojans new coach put the finishing touches on the Class of 2010 recruits, that he turned his attention to the Class of 2015.

That's right, 2015.

Thursday evening Kiffin received a verbal commitment from 13-year old wunderkind quarterback David Sills of Bear, Del.

Too young?

Not according to his personal coach Steve Clarkson, who has mentored some of the game's best quarterbacks including current USC starter Matt Barkley.

"His skill set is off the chart," Clarkson said. "I've never seen anyone at his age do what he's been able to do."

The commitment, which was first reported by ESPN's Shelley Smith, has happened in college basketball previously, but is unprecedented for college football where it's harder to project how a player as young as Sills will develop physically. Clarkson says that won't be a problem.

Meh, it's a verbal commitment. Doesn't mean shit.

Sounds more like Steve Clarkson pimping the kid out more than anything else.

the kid already has a pretty good arm. and nice height for his age. we'll have to see how his confidence, leadership ability, and decision making skills develop. i mean the tapes are made to make you look good.

The way that kid throws reminds me of how Vince young throws the football.
