ESPNU 150 prospect Byron Moore of Narbonne (Harbor City, Calif.) has decommitted from the USC Trojans.
Moore is ranked No. 4 nationally among athletes and No. 71 prospect overall. Recruited as a safety, he now favors Notre Dame and LSU. Among his other offers are UCLA, California, Arizona State, Arizona, Minnesota and Colorado.
"Yeah, I went ahead and decommitted today," Moore told ESPN affillate WeAreUSC.Com. "I just felt USC wasn't the place I wanted to be and I want to look at some other options out of state. Right now it's pretty much Notre Dame and LSU, with Notre Dame in the lead. I'll probably take a trip down to LSU next week.
"I kind of feel like I want to go to school out of state, see something new on my own, go somewhere I will get a good education and have an opportunity to play early."
Just another example of the diminishing value of a commitment anymore. I was always raised that when you commit to something or someone, that means something. Even in high school I would have felt a sense of shame about de-committing. I understand making a mistake once, and changing your mind, because its a big decision. However, to back out of 2 commitments just plain shows a lack of respect for what it really means to commit.
At least he won't be playing against us on the SUC side in 2-4 years.

The two money quotes
1) “go somewhere I will get a good education”
2) “have an opportunity to play early”
Has anyone?
Ever turned down both UCLA and SC after a prior committment to each? Has to be some kind of wierd record.
contrary to what he says,
I wouldn’t be surprised to see some renewed interest if we name a top notch DC

doubt it
given the number of db commits we have and his priority of playing time. i think it’s notre dame for him because they’ve got nothing as far as db’s. but who knows? maybe the kid broke up with his girlfriend and wants to get out of town, sometimes decisions are as random as that. best of luck to this kid
