The state of PAC-12 recruiting for 2013...yes, it's a big gap.

USC's got a huge talent gap for their 2013 recruiting class, and the only way to illustrate this is to show the current classes, according to Rivals:

Rank	School	5 *	4*	3*	Total
1	USC	3	12		15
14	Washington		5	11	17
18	Arizona		2	11	22
30	UCLA		2	9	11
38	Oregon	1	2	4	8
39	Stanford		5		6
43	Colorado		1	7	12
55	Cal		1	6	8
57	WSU		1	5	10
60	ASU		1	5	6
70	Utah			4	6
90	OSU			2	3

So what happens if Paul Harris gives his verbal on Tuesday?  He'd be USC's lowest ranked recruit....at 214 in the nation.

To put that into perspective, every current verbally committed USC recruit and Paul Harris are all ranked higher than every recruit in the current classes of UCLA, Arizona, Colorado, Cal, WSU, Utah and OSU.

That's crazy, right?  How in the world did Lane Kiffin and USC draw so much highly ranked talent, even while under the most-severe sanctions since SMU's death penalty?

Update Tuesday morning: Paul Harris picked Tennessee. That may be a good thing though, because most people were wondering why USC would take 4 receivers, when it had greater needs in the secondary and the D-line. USC's already stacked for the next 2 years at WR with Agholor, Lee, Farmer, etc.

Update Tuesday afternoon: According to tweets, Paul Harris says he changed his mind at the last minute.
