Were you on Twitter last night? Do you follow any of the incoming football freshmen? It may be time to consider it, as the Class of 2014 got a head start on the "contentious relationship" with their counterparts at Southern Cal last night.
It was, in honor of Jordan Lasley's twitter handle, who was the ringleader, legend - wait for it - DARY.
It started relatively innocently. Lasley mentioned a conversation he had with Southern Cal commit Jonathan Lockett, which is inspiring him to politely, kick his ass.
Nothin but motivation. Y'all remember this conversation between me and this funny guy @Jlock_21 pic.twitter.com/xjIJD4Am1J

So he kept picking on Lockett, which to his credit, of which we give very little to most Southern Cal football players, didn't respond other than to giggle.
@Jlock_21 you can't guard me. You too slow. 4.6, and 4.7 won't work young man. Like I ain't never ran by you before
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
@Jlock_21 come on bruh, we know your not that fast. I've been giving you work since we was 8 years old. You knew that already tho
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
That's fighting words.
Of course, the idiots of Twitter jumped in, and Lasley started to have his fun.
Dudes commit to USC and have this new found confidence like wow lol. Let me bring you back down to earth Lockett.
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
Y'all gotta understand, I've been goin against the best for 2 and a half years. Why would I be worried about Lockett? I'm too much 4 Lockett
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
Aye Lock what happened in that Semper Fi game when you got the ball snatched up out ya hands? @Jlock_21

Former UCLA Commit John Plattenburg jumped in and Lasley gave him the treatment.
@JP_Plattenburg platt you and I both know you can't guard me. Go check the UTR videos. I did you dirty at SC last summer too.
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
More fighting words.
@JP_Plattenburg yeah whatever. We know who that is. We know why you decommitted young man. Too much competition

Jaleel Wadood jumped in to defend his teammate:
Ahah turn up then JLas.
— Jaleel Wadood (@OGLeel_2) March 6, 2014
So attention turned to him, and he simply put it this way:
Dudes be asking me am I worried about SC's recruits. Last time I checked I was the Player of the year. SC who? pic.twitter.com/uoO61amF6s

Caleb Benenoch, the Class of 2013 twitter king and agitator, enjoyed the madness:
Eventually y'all will stop trying my homie lol till then Imma get some popcorn
— Caleb Benenoch (@UCLA_CB74) March 6, 2014
Southern Cal fans tried touting ancient history, but Wadood was not interested:
SC FANS PLEASE STOP BRINGING UP THE PAST, THATS ALL YALL DO. 2 YEARS IN A ROW.
— Jaleel Wadood (@OGLeel_2) March 6, 2014
This class intends to keep that streak going.
After a while, Lasley had enough, and returned to being a student-athlete, something Southern Cal doesn't understand:
Welp, I'm done wiping up you SC guys. Should have never talked. Off to this shower and Econ hw
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
This is a close group coming in this fall, and they're ready to fight for each other.
TO ALL MY FUTURE TEAMMATES AND FANS: Y'all are getting a real one, don't back down from ANY battles. What you see is what you get . #4sUP
— Jordan Lasley (@LegendaryLasley) March 6, 2014
The day I signed to UCLA is the day I became apart of the bruin family. Therefore I'm gone back up any teammate till the death of me!
— Jaleel Wadood (@OGLeel_2) March 6, 2014
Let's hope they all can back up their talk in the fall. Go Bruins.
Is it football season yet?
