re: WIll Pete Carroll sign a 3 star recruit this year?

Who gives a crap about USC. As long as they loose to a Barbie High every year then we don't have to watch them anymore. Everytime they sign these awesome classes, they hurt their conference. They are draining the talent so that there is nothing left to go around. The SEC is so great, because the teams are so balanced. Same for the Big-12. Big-10 just suxs..eh. USC will go to the rose and blow out Penn. Another boring season just like the one before it, and the one before that, and the one....

very interesting article on espn last week. They pretty much said USC is so good at recruiting that they are taking ALL the great recruits out of the west and in turn the rest of the conference is weak and therefore strength of schedule hurts them in BCS..lol they try to come up with any kind of excuse for these figs

Naw... Oregon State is snatching up all those kids.

I partly blame..

The NFL for not having an NFL team in LA, the nation's 2nd largest metro, thus have a populace starved for quality football, and to still be vacated two decades later is utterly f@cking ridiculous..previous elite era USC teams played in half-empty stadiums..but there were Rams..Raiders..Donahue's UCLA..

I partly blame inter-city rival UCLA for literally dying in Football since Donahue was HC..

I partly blame the once quality Pac-10 programs for not being able to maintain quality HCs, Programs, or consistent winning, that means a post-James Washington, post-Donahue UCLA, post-Tomey Az, post-many ASU HCs(as even in a talent barren state of Az..Phoenix is too big..too nice..to have such a mediocre program,) Cal and Stanford for being in Cali and being medicore regardless of athletic-academia issues..none even remotely challenge USC sans a rare upset..in terms of as a real threat..

I to smaller degrees blame WAC/MWC/Big-12 Mountain region teams/fanbases, such as Colo, Neb, SD St, both the NM schools, for falling into the gutter, leaving only USC for all fans west of the Mississippi River to root for USC as to carry West Coast Football's fortunes, thus undermining their own school's fanbases with a "Trojan rally cry"..

Boise, Utah, and BYU the only other western schools that consistently win at elite levels, yet none can compete with USC for most any athlete that USC desires, especially as the national and local medias outside LA still give far too much coverage to the glamour boys..

To their credit I admire that USC is willing to play tough OOC games that are scheduled mostly many moons in advance..and they should if they want to win BCS titles..as the Pac-10 has become a detriment to USC should they not stay unbeaten and top media darlings.

But, I believe the aforementioned has aided and abetted USC's meteoric growth to unchallenged status out west. With of course first and foremost being Carroll's incredible program-building and recruiting. It's just unhealthy for footballdom out there to be so one-sided, and still has but one crystal football all these years later to show for it..thus USC as a rallycry for the rest isn't exactly working out either..besides their own sad state of affairs for most Programs west of the Miss River.
