Quote Of The Day

— USC coach Tim Floyd, April 2

Since then, Daniel Hackett, DeMar DeRozan and Taj Gibson turned pro. Solomon Hill signed with Arizona. Donte Smith is being encouraged to transfer to a Division II school while Mamadou Diarra was encouraged to play pro basketball in France.

King Kiper, Part 2
