Split decision
— -- LOS ANGELES -- Early in the summer of 2011, Russell Biggs first laid eyes on Adoree' Jackson.
Jackson wore a backpack and an outfit resembling pajamas, according to Biggs, a longtime track and field coach in Southern California. Straight out of Belleville, Ill., Jackson, 15, stood about 5-foot-7 and attracted zero notice as he strode into a USC football camp.
Lane Kiffin and the other coaches in charge had no idea.
Biggs did, though.
In fact, it was Biggs who suggested Jackson attend that USC camp after Jackson's brother-in-law, Jason Keene, not long before, approached Biggs at a restaurant.
Their encounter seemed innocuous to the coach, but Keene, who worked security at a T.G.I. Friday's, had noticed Biggs, wearing a whistle around his neck and talking sports, on previous trips to the restaurant.
Keene told his wife - Jackson's sister -- that if the coach came back, he would be prepared.
