Hey Scott,

Any word on which (if any) walk-ons will play in the fall?

How is Sanchez responding to Mustain commit?

Does not seem like a fair situation. You have two No.1 prep QB from sucessive years and only one will start. Not likely PC would platoon QB's as JR did.

Might be better if Mustain picked Hawaii which would fit him and provide great coaching for NFL.

Who do you give the edge to beginning the fall camp? Taylor Mays or Josh Pinkard, assuming he's healthy.

Any buzz on number assignments for the incoming freshman? I'm assuming J.McKnight will be #4?...

any 2008 prospects comitting to USC any time soon??

Here are 2 questions, Wolfie: Why has Petros forsaken you on his new show, and refuses to let you come on more than once a month? And why was his 1540 show so much better than his new show?

Oh wait, I think I can answer both of my own questions....Answer #1) Matt "Money" Smith; and Answer #2) Matt "Money" Smith.

Has Mustain already submitted his official application to the USC admission office? If so, when did he do it? Are there any roadblocks or is it pretty much completed?

What's going on with recruit Kavario Middleton. At one point he was listed as having an offer, then no, then back to yes now it's back to no. I believe at one point his interest in SC was "High" now were not even listed on his profile. Is SC recruiting this guy or what and why the mix up with offer-no offer.

Fight On !!

yeah thanks scott.

Everyone took my questions already :(

Please post the new players numbers as soon as possible.

Has Sanchez issued any kind of statement about MM? Any idea of his feelings on the matter?

Any other prospects going to commit soon?

Who has the edge? Josh Pinkard or Taylor Mays?

Will K. Maiava be starting at WLB next year?

If UCLA beats Notre Dame this year, how high do you see them going in the polls?

How often will they use the shotgun in games?

Why does Bobby Bowden keep saying "dad gum"??

Is whether to fly a confederate flag on government buildings in South Carolina REALLY an issue now in 2007??

If KD loses to USC this year will Jack in the Box hire him?

And finally, who thought of "powder blue" uniforms?

hahahahaha

Scott, what your your predictions for the the four draft likely Trojans?

Where do Steve Smith, Dwayne Jarrett, Ryan Kalil and Dallas Sartz end up and in what round?

How is Spanos injury?

Will Mustain be allowed to practice?

Finally, if you had the first pick in the draft saturday, who are you taking?

What number will Cushing wear next year after JDB wins the Heisman?

What is the status of Sean Enesi? Is he going to attend a JC to earn a rep that might Qualify him for future consideration for an offer from PC

What's up with season tickets? Are they really sold out for next year? I'm graduating this year and after several years in the student section won't have the opportunity to continue a tradition.

I read the article about Sam McGuffie where he said of USC, "I want an offer from them so bad."
Well, he was given an offer but I don't see him on the commit list. What's going on there?

OK - here is the proper place to post the follow-on questions...

1. Use of the TE - we all had such high expectations for Fred Davis last year. But, it did not seem like he got the ball much (ala Dominique Byrd) downfield. Also, he did not seem to be able to use his athleticism to break the big plays (ala Greg Olson). Do you believe that this was due to the lack of a significant FB during the season being able to stay in an block? Was it because our run game never exploded and we needed the extra blocking to try to break open bigger runs?

We seem to run a very aggressive pass protection scheme, which is great for the receivers, but maybe not so great (last couple of years) for exposing the Tight Ends.

2. Speaking of FB - do you think someone like Broderick Green may get some looks at Fullback? This would be a way to get him on the field early. Does he have the hands for the way SC uses the position? Is it hard for a freshman to come in and learn this position? I have heard it is harder than RB b/c of the blocking assignments - they have to pick-out in the play, who to block even in the gap block scheme.

Thanks in advance Scott

1. What's your take on J. Russell v. B. Quinn. I'm not a huge Quinn fan but I really dislike Russell's decision making. IMO the NFL is all about making right reads and less about physical attributes than people realize. Where's Jeff George now?

2. Is UCLA really a top 10 team next year? Will their offense be improved enough to merit a high preseason ranking?

Tyler, re:Quinn...I wonder who in the NFL could possibly be so hot after a QB who led his team basically nowhere? Who lost every game to his arch rival USC, and who lost every bowl game, including the ones that his mediocre teams only got invited to because of their name and the $$$train that follows the Irish. I think the kid from Stanford who was injured most of this past season is a better and smarter player. To me Quinn is a product of total media-hype.

If Spanos doesn't heal quickly...will Howell start at center?

We are not going to play another game against Idaho in '08 are we?

Does Stafon have any chance of redshirt/medical hardship?

I read all the time about the "tough road" thomas herring has had at USC..what problems has he had to deal with? Will he start next year?

So now don't we have 3 kickers?? and no scholarships available for any of them?

Do you know what ever happened to Matt Grootegoed, USC linebacker from a couple of years ago?

Is there a reason that the trojan decals are not on the spring practice helmets?

Why are names not on the jersey of each player. Is it to lower the focus on the individual player in favor of the team?

So what were the players times in the 40?

Scott how would you rate JDB's chances of winning the heisman?

It's gonna be tough everyone is pretty much expecting us to win the NC this year and be 12-0

Will we see more Fred Davis/TE this year. This is a potentially great weapon!

With Coleman Transferring, will anyone else step up and play fullback?

If JDB struggles during a game with INTs or tipped balls, will the staff go to Sanchez at sometime in the 2nd half, or stick with JDB (let's hope we never get there...)

One more Q:

If Dennis is eligible for another year, why couldn't Powdrell apply for another year. He was hurt in the first game....

Do SC coaches do a lot of texting of recruits, and what do Pete and staff think about the ban being implemented August 1?

Is it correct to assume Troy Star be relocating to Florida in his new capacity as UF Director of Football Operations?
