Quarterback Offers

There’s been some discussion about why USC has not offered quarterback Nick Montana yet or maybe even Pete Thomas, who attended practice Tuesday.
The reason is simple: USC will not offer any quarterbacks until assistant coach Jeremy Bates gets a chance to see them throw in person at the summer camps.
The last time Bates watched high school quarterbacks was about 12 years ago.
And then there’s the underlying issue of who really wants to come to USC with Matt Barkley around?
