The Olsen reaction to Mitch's USC commitment

USC has been actively recruiting two quarterbacks…Connor Mitch and Kevin Olsen. Mitch committed to the Gamecocks Tuesday night. Does Olsen, an Elite 11 selection from Wayne, NJ, automatically drop the Gamecocks? His father and coach, Chris Olsen, was not aware of the Mitch commitment until contacted for this story. “I think, in that position, it's best to go where there's just one in the class,” Coach Olsen said. “One usually ends up leaving. But we'll see what happens. Coach Mangus is coming in again next week. He still likes Miami, Wisconsin and Auburn.” Mangus visited with the Olsens last week. Alabama was just in to see Olsen and Oregon has also been talking to him. Coach Olsen said he expects a decision will be made in the next couple of weeks.

A decision will come before Kevin Olsen finishes school June 23rd.
