the Pete Carroll recruiting model works best at USC: The Trojans have to recruit nationally for linemen and locally for skill players.


Those D-linemen in 2003-2005 were local kids mostly from Los Angeles County area.

Pete Carroll recruited nationally for the SKILL players see Lendale White, the receivers and RIP Joe McKnight.

High school football participation has been collapsing in California and COVID sped the process up 100X. Couple that with major demographic changes and you just aren't going to find linemen in CA like you could 20 years ago.

It sounds more like the USC donor class driven by Rick Caruso turned on the money hose and the admin allowed the handcuffs to be taken off the NIL strategy after the Tennessee ruling.
