    Ah...the cache has been strong longer than the PC era...we seem to come back again in time for these kid's parents to remember all the glory, pageantry and winning. Pete told us that his big sell in recruiting after those dark, dark Hacket years was the fact that USC had just won "2000 College of the Year" by the Princeton Review and Time Magazine..that, and the tradition, which he focused on the parents, and selling the kids that they had a great opportunity to bring USC back to former glory.

    I think it also helps that our former players, going way back, are so involved in the program - visible and supporting the university, they also have their own very powerful support club for former players only. I know Nelson Agholor was absolutely star struck to see guys like Ronnie Lott, Marcus Allen, Tony Boseli, Sam "Bam" Cunningham, Anthony Munoz, the late Junior Seau, etc on the sidelines of the spring game.

    We may not have the nicest, loudest stadium, but at any give game, you will see Trojan players that are Pro HOFers on the sidelines or sitting in the stands. I've counted up to five at one single game. Kids love this.

    No doubt, campus location makes it easy for ex guys to show up

    That may just happen...great player, but everyone is pretty laid back about it - because of other things we're hearing.

    Notre Dame is a great school, it's not as if it's a WTF? choice. Right now..he's yours.

    panic so you honestly think we are his current leader? I just don't see it. What are you guys hearing on your end? Isn't he visiting UW ^^^this weekend?

    He loved his ND visit. Wouldn't be surprised if you guys landed him.

    I'm glad there is still plenty of talent at DB this year if some guys decommit.

    I doubt UW makes the cut...it's either green or cardinal...smart kid, so Notre Dame and Stanford are who we compete with for these guys.

    If we're his last official visit....it may end up a dog fight, but I do know there are other big names in the wings that want in.....

    Tony Boseli lives in Florida, Anthony Munoz lives in Cincinnati, etc...they fly in from all over the country. They pledge to support the program, their alumni club has been in existence for 56 years, so it's very well organized and even grant scholarships to former players that chose to continue toward an advanced degree. It's a very tight brotherhood, and loyalty to SC is very strong.

    I know everyone has loyal players that are visible in their programs.

  • You guys are hilarious. You have been begging for this kid to leave USC for months. I think you just don't want your team to have to face him. He has already said he is all USC. He's a Trojan, deal with it, and move on to another recruit.
