Round 8

| | Comments (4) |

I'm not sure why people posted questions under the ``Live Blog'' entry. I guess scrolling down to the Open Forum was too hard.

Q: With all the success currently surrounding the USC basketball program I couldn't help but to look forward to next season and beyond where hopefully the program will continue making the NCAA tournament. I know success is all relative, but for USC basketball, making the tournament annually is a great starting point. Do you this trend continuing? I'm alarmed because the team has three potential draft entries and the recruiting class for next season seems bare. Are there any recruits that Coach Floyd and his staff are currently looking out to fill out the class? What is the state of basketball recruiting in general?

A:Next year's recruiting class obviously brings in Demar DeRozan, one of the top players in the nation. The more vital issue is whether Davon Jefferson and Taj Gibson return. If they do, USC will remain on the right track as far as success is concerned. But if one of them leaves USC falls into this revolving door situation where it always has to rebuild because the heart of the team keeps changing. Schools like UCLA get three or four big-time guys, so they can afford to lose one or two. But USC gets one guy and if it is really lucky two, because it needs to give a scholarship to the friend of the superstars.

USC needs more Daniel Hacket's and Josh Ship's. Guys who will lead and do the little things for 3 and 4 years. I love OJ Mayo but to be consistent we need to return 5 players who played quality minutes the year before.
