Here is Rivals.com article on Prater's announcement today. I Still have not seen where he picked yet. it certainly looks like he will pick the Trojans.
There's no lack of drama surrounding the announcement, either. Prater, located in the heart of Notre Dame country, has a top five of (in alphabetical order): Illinois, ND, Oklahoma, Tennessee and USC.
For the Trojans, pairing Prater with recent verbal commitment Robert Woods would complete the most impressive duo of wideouts in the country for the 2010 Class.

All along, the recruiting battle for Kyle Prater seemed destined to boil down to one decision: How close to home the Proviso West star wanted to play his college football.
Apparently Prater isn't concerned about airfares these days. The 6-foot-4-inch, five-star recruit is expected to announce Wednesday an oral commitment to play for Southern California starting in 2010, a person close to Prater told the Tribune.
