February 5, 2010

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Southern California coach Lane Kiffin is apparently trying toget the inside track on recruiting a 13-year-old quarterback from Delaware.

The father of David Sills says Lane talked to the seventh-grader by phoneThursday and that the coach told the boy he’d like to have him come to USC. Theboy’s answer, according to his father, was: “Absolutely.”

The Delaware News Journal first reported the story.

The father, David Sills IV, told The Associated Press on Friday that he alsospoke to Kiffin and was shocked to have his son receive the nonbinding offer.The elder Sills says he is comfortable with his son’s early commitment.

NCAA rules prohibit coaches and school officials from speaking publiclyabout unsigned prospects.
