It's just message board talk right now (we'll have to wait about half an hour for confirmation), but Rivals.com is reporting some BIG news for Trojan fans:

Rivals.com's Greg Ladky is on the ground with Marvin Austin in DC for his presser, and has called to report that Austin has received a text message from USC Football Coaching Staff member that read, "Joe McKnight is coming to USC."

Like I said -- we've got about 30 minutes to wait before this all gets confirmed. But if the Trojans did secure a commitment from Joe McKnight, ESPN's #1 recruit and Rivals.com's #2, it would be a huge late get for Pete Carroll and his staff.

More on this to come as it's available.
