How Valuable Are Those Five Scholarships Lane Kiffin Saved?

With all of USC’s depth problems, the decision of Lane Kiffin to save five scholarships last February instead of adding more players to the Trojans’ roster? USC could have added another more cornerbacks, wide receivers, etc.
Some will say USC had late decommitments but Kiffin said he chose not to go after other players that wanted to come to USC because they were not to the level he wanted. That makes sense if you don’t consider the roster is so depleted that he really needed bodies more than anything else.

      • Seriously….I doubt Scotty see’s the “Inept Offense” when he looks in the mirror…..Does Torgan Whores see Torgan Whore’s when he looks in the mirror? Scotty and the Cadre laugh at you schmucks!
        MERCY NURSE!!!!!
        fit UN Schmucks!

        • Trust me, Taco-Mix…. the feeling is mutual……I laugh out loud at Wolfies cries that it is UNFORGIVABLE for us to lose to ND, before the game is even over….what a drama queen he is and that you and the Cadre worship……..

          • You are defending us losing to a team that generated 2 first downs in the entire second half?

          • My comments were intended to be more of an indictment of Wolfies melodramatic writing style as opposed to defending the poor second half performance of our offense in the ND game…

        • Quick go out in the audience and gather up the ping pong balls. Your mom’s about to go on stage.

        • Get back there and clean that **it off my floors, bRuin. Your employer does not give you permission to waste time. Just because he lets Stu As**ole do it doesn’t mean that you can be a lemming schmuck yourself. Ate CLAP bRuin?

    • this is a rough and tumble Pac12 sports blog, not some, Jr High English Teachers workshop!!!

      the wolfman talks fast, thinks fast and types fast….typos are ENCOURAGED, if not expected.

    • It’s called a typo. You forgot to capitalize the h in “he” so you don’t have much room to complain. Don’t step to Wolf or you will be in a world of pain.

      • “He” is supposed to be a journalist. He gets paid to run this blog. He should do better.

        • And he hasn’t corrected it yet…so he is really looking at this closely. Which school of journalism did he go to? Must have been some online school.

          • Even Jimmy Carter had a goofy brother, Billy…….you can pick your friends, but not your family, right?…

          • see. that is high quality trolling.

            That might be the worst thing you can say about USC…clearly the standards at the journalism school are pretty darned low. Thanks, Scott!

          • Did Wolf go to SC? If so, not aware. But then, it IS the Daily News, so clearly not the cream of the crop.

        • He’s suppose to show us what is really going on instead of the “happy news” you Sunshine Pumpers crave. Why don’t you leave and go to Garry’s site where your kind belong?

    • Yet he was right about Kiffin while you Sunshine Pumpers were telling us all is well. Why don’t you apologize to Scott, a fellow Trojan, instead of running grammar smack?

  1. Will nobody inside McKay Center say they wrote off this season to be able to start the rebuild next year?

  2. With no scholarship TE’s likely to be available for this weekends game, how stupid does Junior Pomee feel about now?……

    • A better question is…How STUPID do you knuckleheads feel for RECRUITING him?
      Gotta love those SPECIAL ADMITS with those dreaded Character Issues!
      Fit UN torgans!

      • How smug you must feel to know it all and to be so perfect….. can we nail you to the cross now?……

        • You bring it all on yourself with all your a-hole comments. Do you feel like a big man picking on Junior because he has a “substance abuse” problem? Takes a big man to DUMP GARBAGE on another person and do it anonymously. You and your other Torgan hypocritical sanctimonious creepy friends (like T-Family, nubsie and T-Fail) truly represent everything that’s wrong with SCUm.
          VIVA CADRE!!!!!!

          • That Dementia has you all screwed up!

            Pull the trigger so we can all smile, right now!

          • This coming from an uneducated dolt who thinks that Negra Modelo is a racial slur…..

          • Maze…thanks…but I can take care of these hypocritical, pompous, racist, sanctimonious mama’s boys. Last place in the Pac 12 South is too good for them.

          • A ruin fan trolling this blog 24/7, beyond pathetic

            No one has has any respect for you. Put any extra jockstrap on if you’re looking for support.

            Any luck on the job search?

          • I never mentioned Junior having a “substance abuse”, TImex, you did…….like it or not, there are consequences to our actions in life, and also accountability, hopefully not enabling……had Junior made better choices, he would have had his opportunity now…. and that all I was suggesting…….Cyber-Bully On, you CLOWN!

          • Good thing ThaiPo never makes a-hole comments or dumps garbage on people anonymously.

          • Seriously? You attack Pomee constantly and use his case to troll USC. You use convenient moral outrage to troll a sports website and attack any kid who makes mistakes (and use it to attack USC). And now you try to wrap yourself in THIS crap? And you attack someone for posting anonymously, when you won’t even sack up and use the same nickname for all your posts? Bucket, have you no shame?

  3. I guess Scott doesn’t care how his posts look. As far as scholarships it costs USC double every time they do not get a player. First because they don’t play for USC, and second when USC has to play them (and they usually have something to prove against USC) Wasted scholarships is just one of many faults with Kiffin.

  4. I see Wolfie and I are on the same page. I raised the 5 scholarship issue yesterday and BAM, there he is. But what he is leaving for me to stress is that without a coach in place to convince EE’s to give SC a shot, NOBODY of any real skill will even take one of the 5 leftover rides come early January. Now THERE’s a kick in the crotch.

  5. Not having those five scholarships certainly hurts the team in the short run, but should help Pat Haden land a better coach. The new coach will be able to hand out 20 scholarships in his first year instead of handing out 15. This means the new coach will be down a total of five scholarships… which should help land a Chris Petersen, Kevin Sumlin, or Art Briles type of coach.

    • dopey troxan. New coach can only use the 5 left over from February if the kids are EE’s. They don’t just carry over. So, unless there’s a coach on board before the end of December, and good players are actually comfortable jumping on board without having been recruited very hard by said coach and have finished taking all of their other visits and are actually able to enroll early, those rides will go to waste! LOL!!!

      For what it’s worth, NONE of the coaches you mentioned will be done with their seasons in time to recruit EE’s to SC.

  6. I hope Pommee gets his life together. At such a tender young age he’s already made several HUGE mistakes. Obviously, he NEVER should have been admitted to that cess pool, fig tech. It’s slime and crime ridden. Cheating, drugs, and shootings are regular occurrance’s (and that’s just on the practice field). People like Pommee and “spittin’ and gropin” Tyler, need positive role models, while SUCks is full of ho’s, pimps, and foolish wanna be white boys flashing daddy’s bling bling. Pommee seemed like such a fine young FAMILY man, but obviously he had ZERO chance of succeeding once he found himself surrounded by all that filth, slime and sleazyness on campus. Fig Tech deserves to be burned down, reduced to ashes, and covered in salt.

  7. In other news equally unworthy of discussing, Scott Wolf grants a temporary stay of boredom to Hey SUCLA and Stu As**ole as they now have something to do (for a few minutes at least) during their breaks at their newly-placed vocations at Taco Bell. Enjoy that $5.50/hr that your winning football team graduation value merits you. Ate CLAP bRuins?

  8. Lane Kiffins Philosophy was so warped that it was Comical, anybody with a brain knows those scholarships should have been filled considering USC’s depth problems. And once again Kiffin does not have the eye to spot Talent that’s out there unless they are 4 and 5 star recruits. Which is why he did not use the available scholarships that were available, sometimes you have to trust your eye and your ability to evaluate raw Talent.
