USC Recruiting News

**Neo** · 11-22-2004, 09:13 AM

According to what I have heard, USC's Athletics Dept. phones have been ringing off the hook with recruits now wanting to come to USC since Spurrier has been linked to the HC job.

The #1 nationally ranked WR Derrick Williams (Rivals, PrepStar, SuperPrep, TheInsiders) has stated that he would be willing to de-commit and listen to what Mr. Spurrier had to say if Mr. Spurrier is interested.

I am sure you also heard that Notre Dame commitment, Martin Frierson, a receiver from Irmo, had earlier expressed an interest in playing for Spurrier, "wherever he coached."

Now he is back on the recruiting market since the announcement of Ty Willingham's termination. Currently, USC is his front runner.

I think the firing of Willingham is going to greatly affect recruting... all them kids that commited to Notre Dame just because of Willingham are going to recend on that commitment and will be lookin another school cuz they feel liek they have been cheated.

Those recruits were sold on Notre Dame. A coach goes out and sells the university to the recruit. That's part of the job. Those recruits along with Mr. Willingham were cheated. With so much parity in college football now, people don't go to a certain school because of tradition anymore. They wanna go to a place to win and get exposure so they can make a leap at the NFL.

We also have the #4 TE in the nation (out of North Carolina) interested in us now, and Ben Olsen who in 2002 was the #1 overall prospect in the nation(A QB). He's 6'5, threw for 3000 yds, 30 TDs, and rushed for 10 tds his senior season in HS. He redshirted in 2002 for BYU and then went on a 2 year mormon mission in Canada, USC is now one of his front-runners. Also, and yes this is not a misprint, www.allsportstalk.com (Phil Kornblut) reports that Roscoe Crosby (a former clemson WR) wants to return to college football and his first choice to play would be at USC.., it's certainly been a wild couple of weeks, I'm glad we're not going to a bowl game b/c all of this recruiting info is too much to keep up with let alone a real football game!!! J/k btw....
