Count me underwhelmed so far on the basketball transfers landed by Andy Enfield. Darion Clark, a 6-foot-6 forward from North Carolina-Charlotte, averaged 6.2 points last season. Katin Reinhardt averaged 10.1 points at UNLV but took more than 300 shots.
Sometimes new coaches take transfers to balance out classes so they don’t have six freshmen and six seniors, for example.
But considering all the hype about Enfield’s hire, I expected a little more. But it’s still early and I expect he will do much better on actual high school recruiting.

Former USC WR Steve Smith Retires
A key member of the Trojans’ 2004 national title team, Smith announced his retirement after six seasons. He was second in the NFL in receptions four years ago with 107 but was never the same after undergoing microfracture knee surgery and a mosaicplasty procedure in 2010.
Smith won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants and finished his career with 220 receptions, 2,386 yards and 12 touchdowns.
USC v. USC
I want to pick up a little bit on the question asked in the previous post about the state of the marquee sports at USC.
When you consider the millions invested in football and basketball, it is almost amazing USC could be so mediocre last season in football. If you walk on campus and see the McKay Center, you might think you are on a SEC campus.
And then there is basketball, which we were always told would reach new success once the Galen Center was built. Anyone? Anyone?
Answer Wednesday!
Time to answer questions, like who is the best QB to lead USC next season.

USC-Oregon State Game Scheduled For ESPN2, Not Pac-12 Network
Thankfully, this game is not on the Pac-12 Network after all. It will be on ESPN2. So this will NOT serve as one of those days you need to find a place to watch the game if you have DirecTV.
