Coach Lane Kiffin is setting his sights on future players for the USC Trojans.

Like, way in the future- including a 13-year-old boy, David Sills of Bear, Delaware. Sills is said to have a skill set that’s “off the charts,” and while recruiting at that age has been seen in baseball, it’s highly unusual for football due to the uncertainty surrounding a player’s physical development. But Steve Clarkson, Sills’ personal coach, says that the interest in Sills’ abilities is definitely wise:

“You might call me crazy, but you’ve known me a long time, right? And when I said if there was going to be a LeBron James of football it’d be Jimmy Clausen that turned out to be a pretty good prediction.

“And when I said Matt Barkley had the potential to be as good as Jimmy, he ended up winning Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior and starting at USC as a freshman, right?

“Well, I’ve got a kid now who is better than all of them and he’s in Delaware. You gotta take a look at him.”

Clarkson says that the boy, a seventh grader at Red Lion Christian Academy in Bear, shouldn’t be a concern as far as physical development goes:

“He’s already six feet as a 13-year old,” Clarkson said. “And he’s breaking down NFL footage.”

The video below, making the YouTube rounds with football fans, is said to have influenced Kiffin’s decision to pursue the boy for a 2015 commitment.

Celebrated in his field for co-founding the pioneering Entertainment Technology Center and for creating the innovative educational software tool known as “Alice,” Pausch earned his greatest worldwide fame for his inspirational “Last Lecture.”

That life-affirming lecture, a call to his students and colleagues to go on without him and do great things, was delivered at Carnegie Mellon on September 18, 2007, a few weeks after Pausch learned he had just months to live. Titled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” the humorous and heartfelt talk was videotaped, and unexpectedly spread around the world via the Internet. Tens of millions of people have since viewed video footage of it.

You may have seen this already but I assure you that it is always worth watching… over and over again. When I first heard about Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor stricken with cancer, who delivered his “last lecture,” I prepared myself for a video that would be filled with dramatic tones. I was proven wrong because instead of watching a lecture from a professor who is dying, what I witnessed was a lecture about the celebration of life.

So, I should say, go watch this video and learn how we should confront life to make the most out of it.
