Recently it was noted that 3 good recruits for U of A backed out when Olsen resigned. One of these (maybe Hill?) was interested in USC. What is the news on that?
This team has the POTENTIAL to win the conference and make a deep tourney run. I haven't been this excited about SC hoops since the greatest college hoopster of all-time, Harold Baby Jordan. Well, the Sam Clancy/Scalabrine/Granville years were pretty exciting too. I was sure that Clancy was going to be the next Moses Malone.
...but can they beat APU! Go Cougs!
