USC's class grows, shows off its stars.

Fans around the nation are probably blowing a gasket right now as they watch USC's 2013 class sprout stars.  According to Rivals, Sebastian Larue just committed; at #162, he's the lowest ranked verbal commit.

Looks like players are starting to understand the situation: wait too long and there might not be room left for you.  Losing Darrell Daniels to Washington didn't hurt, now did it?

Rub your eyes, put them back in your eye sockets if necessary.

If USC grabs more 5-star players or if some of their current verbal commits are moved up to 5-stars, 2013 may become the highest rated class in the last 12 years.  Come now, stop drooling.
