To say this is an enormously important visit is a huge understatement.

Has SC ever had a player from Oak Hill Academy? Doesn't it say something that his hometown is listed as Los Angeles? Didn't he go to St. John Bosco his freshman season?
So, minus the first question, why wouldn't SC have a legitimate shot? Here's hoping he sees the potential right here at SC and signs.

Darion Clark went to Oak Hill, but Preston hasn't even played a game there yet, so not too sure his going there would have any impact good or bad.

After that, his mom moved him to API (Advanced Prep Institute) in Dallas -- essentially a basketball mill. The issue is that the NCAA has begun cracking down on the academics at API. The two most famous nonqualifiers of recent years, Emmanuel Mudiay and Terrance Ferguson, both went there. Preston is trying to get qualified. And part of that process is going to Oak Hill, which has a great reputation for getting kids qualified. |

P'Shon Howard also went to Oak Hill  Billy Preston actually started off at Mater Dei when he first got to High School, then quickly transferred to St. John Bosco under Derrick Taylor within a month & had to ultimately sit out his Freshman season. USC has always had a legit chance with him because of his long standing relationship with Jason Hart. Buckle up! |

Does anyone know which days BP will be on campus this weekend? Normally there's a kick @ss football game to take a recruit to, but with the Cal game on Thursday night, I'm wondering if his visit is structured to go to that game? Thx

Hey Trojans, im a new member to the board, but long time SC fan since birth. I love the USC insight and opinions here....i think we're looking good with Billy Preston. Indiana thought his trip went well, but feel he's leaning to SC. He's been a big fan of Enfield, Hart and Bland for a longtime and even heard his mother went to high school with Hart or Bland. Their relationship goes back to the age of 14 so that has to work in our favor. I think SC is selling Preston on being the "man" of a program who is close to breaking out in college basketball and that should go a long ways with him. Two weeks til early signing day period, I think we get Preston.
Also, I hear Brandon McCoy is really close friends with Derriyck Thornton and is keeping a close eye on what Billy Preston wants to do. Sounds like he may want to play with other big time players and that may factor in his own decision. We'll know soon. Hopefully we get a commitment this weekend from Preston!
