With the news Josh Shaw a cornerback from California has committed to Florida do you think the USC controlling California in recruiting is officially over if Roland Powell goes to Florida , he mentioned that Josh Shaw and him will be college roommates? Thanks.
A: It will be a harsh blow if Powell goes elsewhere. I've seen him at games and I know USC's working hard recruiting him. So losing him would be devastating. We shall see.

What was the reaction of the recruits in attendance at the game of the loss on Saturday to Stanford? Who were some of the recruits who saw the game?
A: The recruits were about the same as always, just quieter because the locker room was not as boisterous as when USC wins the game. I saw Dillon Baxter in the locker room and he looked fine, trying to support current team members that he knew. But there was a large group of recruits and some coaches stayed and talked longer than usual to them, because of the circumstances.
SC first must handle a SUCLA team that will undoubtedly come into the coliseum with a first-in-a-decade feeling that they can beat the Trojans.
Then, win or lose, SC will try to handle Arizona without a second thought of any other item in the universe, including Oregon.
Losing Powell will not be devastating. PC is trying to tell/show him that he's an outside linebacker, not a DE at the next level. Urban is lying to him and recruiting him at DE. If he's set on playing DE he'll to to Florida. SC has a lot of DEs and this year and next year are great DE recruiting years.It's pretty tough to say losing one player makes for a devastating year when you may still have the top class and 5 of the top 10 nationally.
