It will be interesting to see how the USC "brand" holds up on the media today
We are all managing our expectations on were the class ranks out. In the past, USC has signed relatively smaller classes but this year leaves no room for firing blanks.
But I will be watching to see how often commentary will segue into USC’s ability to attract premium recruits and our projected pre-season ranking.
Even with managing our expectations, I think we are going to be satisfied with today’s latest Trojans.
First two in
Turek and Pinner are in
reports that Simmons signed as well…
CORPSMAN - Usually a young, long haired, bearded, Marine-hatin' Sailor with certain medical skills, who will go through the very gates of Hell to get to a wounded Marine.

The good news with all of the “Four” and “Five” star guys is, of course, their potential at the next level. The bad news is/can be in just how big the ego is and how small the stuff between the ears. SC’s latest ‘up close and personal’ experience being Dillon Baxter.. plus many others who ‘could’ in high school and ‘not so much’ in college. Sure, welcome and congratulations to all the new guys who chose to become a Trojan. High school is all in the review mirror now. So, get ready… and real… then don’t forget to arrive on campus in shape.

Because as it has in the past anything ucla does is an act of the gods, at USC the school realizes it is what it is commitments to a storied FB program.
The problem with ucla is they think if they sign a good class that it translates onto the field of play, but they forget to develop their players further from their HS days. Also they forget that this is football and not basketball where a few recruits can make a difference. Oh and Plan B has had better classes than this one in the passed 10 years but look where it has got them, plus having the kids that flip a lot aren’t the ones you want at your program. Those are the kids that usually like to barrow backpacks and laptops and jump the WALL.
Yes we can't play in a Bowl and that is lucky for the rest of College FB' but next year we at USC will dominate.

Stan Hasiak
Now with Oregon State.
Highly touted UCLA recruit, was supposed to help lead them to glory, instead became a monster head case and was kicked out. I’m pretty sure he has 9/22/2012 circled on his calendar.
Here's who is left
OL Kyle Murphy- 1PM
DL Aziz Shittu- 2PM
WR Bryce Treegs & Darreus Rodgers- 3PM
Shittu is not coming. He is going to Stanford. It will be a complete shock if he comes to USC. If we get Murphy and one of the receivers, that should button up this class.
You have to wonder if
all the excitement towards the end of last season is propelling some of these guys to commit to SC. Only a fool would miss the fact that they’ll be playing with a winning team and possible title contender. Who doesn’t want to be on a team like that? I bet a lot of these recruits are looking at Matt and saying, “hell yes I want to play with Matt Barkley!” (okay that’s a given, but still)
This is shaping up to be one hell of a team AND a strong future team. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s damn good to be a Trojan right now! Future’s so bright….
LOCK IN... FIGHT ON!
The future
This is the most important class of the sanctions. These guys will hopefully propel us through the lean scholarship years. Hopefully USC maintains a top 15 team throughout the next three seasons. Then we can collectively thumb our noses at all of those twits at the NCAA and all of the other people who were predicting the fall of Troy.
I read on espn LA that a player and best friend from San Clemente is wailing on at USC and this will probably get us Kyle.
But we shall see.

I dunno, doesn’t seem too bad under the circumstances.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
Ditto
We just didn’t get any crazy-ass offensive players, and I think that’s what people might expect for us to get. So we didn’t get Jordan? The guy reminds me of Carroll. We lost out on a few big men, and some out-of-staters didn’t come through- that stuff was bound to happen someday.
Kiffin & Co. didn’t get spanked by any of our conference rivals, the way I see it: Oregon could very well be the big loser in all this. They’ve only received a letter of inquiry from the NCAA, and still it seems recruits might be reluctant to go to Kelly’s program. Aren’t the (on paper) a better team with more depth? Recruits should be begging to go to that school these days, now that USC is limited to 75 scholarship players.

Probably JUCO guys?
To improve, they should try to become the musical southern cal of the west. - bRuins Nation poster on the Stanford band.
Lev from the OC Register suggesting that Pinner and Agholor could be trained up for double duty. He’s not saying it will happen, just that it’s not far fetched.
I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time.
I heard that about Agholor on the radio as well
Maybe do with him what they tried to do with Farmer last year, except work him at 2 positions
Agholor's youtube vids where he's featured as a RB are pretty impressive
but as we all know you have to see if it pans out in the next level

Maybe they will leave a few open for midyear enrollees?
If we sign 15, then we have to take back a few scholies and we won’t be able to sign any mid-year enrollees.
I think we are at 11 or 12, which will put us only 2 or 3 above the limit.
We will lose Armstead, Scroggins and someone else during either Spring or Fall practice. Hopefully we don’t have to take away a scholie from anyone who really wants to be a USC.
Why scroggins

Class is looking just fine USC has OL and DLs already here and they got enough this time.
If they don’t get anymore that is just fine because they will be used for early entries next year.

honestly I'm just glad these guys arent going to Cal. I hate Cal.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
i just want to see the Scholarship break down......
SC had 67 spots filled out of the 75…… did SC over sign?
Technically yes.
Fight On! Beat everybody but us!
Current roster projects at 78 I think
A Quick Note for the Quitters
No comment from this thread will be deleted. You will have to own them when we get it turned around and beat Southern Cal. You will never ride the bandwagon when we come back. Not on BN. GO BRUINS.
by Nestor on Sep 4, 2010 9:24 PM CDT
Listening to the Kiffin Press......
JS15 is pretty much out….. 1
Armond Armstead – gone…. 2
Patrick Hall…… 3
and counting….
signed 17
With Scroggins, but minus Armstead, Hall, Bryant and the transfers
we are at 77. getting to 75 will be no problem as there are always a few academic or injury issues between now and season opener. worst case, we don’t renew a walk-on scholarship from 2011.

When I look at what some other schools did
Miami- this is not going to end well for these kids
Ohio State – fuse has been lit. OSU has escaped scrutiny for too long
Texas- I don’t trust Mack Brown. he seems nice and fuzzy but its all an act.
Florida, Georgia, LSU and Alabama – here’s a scholarship and we’ll let you know how we feel the week before school starts.
Oklahoma has a way of making 3 stars into 5 stars. Water?
Stanford- how much longer is this going to happen? 4.4gpa>4.4/40
Flournoy
Flournoy is not mentioned on any blog, but he is still enrolled at USC as a WR.

Just read on twitter that Kiffin said that with Rogers signed we are done. Didn’t want to waste scholies on lower-tier guys and wanted to save a few spots for EE next year to space out the scholarship penalty phase.

Two deep would be
George Uko
Antwaun Woods
J.R. Tavai
Christian Heyward
That is obviously not enough depth for the position, but we should take solace in the fact that they will all be sophomores and freshmen in 2012. We are at risk this year but should be fine if we can get a few great DTs next year. We also have 7 scholarship DEs.
