USC is involved in a number of big recruiting battles at the moment, but none might be more important than the one involving St. John Bosco linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa. In this recruitment, USC is going up against Notre Dame and Ohio State,
USC analysts have discussed why Viliamu-Asa is such a central figure in the current Trojan recruiting universe. Not having him at Notre Dame or Ohio State would give USC value in itself. USC might get him, but merely being able to deprive Notre Dame and OSU of his skills would be important on its own terms.
However, there’s another reason Viliamu-Asa matters to USC. The Trojans have not locked down St. John Bosco the way they have other Southern California high schools. The Trojans wouldn’t just get a very good linebacker if they signed Viliamu-Asa; they also would get an elite Bosco player, which might change the dynamic when recruiting Bosco in future years.
This recruitment matters on multiple levels. That’s why so many people are talking about it.
