More Kessler
Quarterback Cody Kessler's commitment today on the heels of Max Wittek from Mater Dei only demonstrates how certain recruits are that Matt Barkley will leave after his junior season. Kessler and Wittek think they will only wait a year and then compete for the wide-open starting job.



must make scroggins feel secure...
Scott why is SC taking 2 QB's in this class? if sanctions do come won't they need the scholarships.
The conventional wisdom is always be at least 3 deep at QB. Mustain is gone next year by the time these kids get here, meaning if Barkley goes down we only have Scroggins left (I am deliberately not even considering Boyd). They are insurance in case of a disaster and fit a future need. Plus, getting both of these guys just keeps one of them off another team. I personally like Wittek more because he is mobile, taller and comes from a proven QB system for us, but Kessler is a great pickup, and the competition will be on.
trust me, those kids will be outa there faster than old what's his name in his girlfriend's range rover when sanctions hit.
just ask Mamba, who's listed as a soft verbal on Scout.
SC will be far better than bRuins like it or not.
sped, trust ME, Fucla will NEVER get Kessler. bRuins $uc.
Yeah sped, for NOBS' sake Kessler needs to be a trogan. He still hasn't recovered after joe mcknight broke his heart. NOBS new man crush = Kessler.
USC Alum '02
who cares about these young pups? they will be gone once the sanctions hit. i have a source at Southern Cal who says Mike Garrett cried like a baby when he read the report today (even more than he cried during the LAT interview)...oh, Mercy Nurse!!!
oh come on Friday, come on, get here! why can't it be Fri-day so we can Par-tay???
NOBS, trust me FUsCK will $UC this year, they will be no better than a .500 team this season - and UCLA will be no worse than 8-4 - and Barkley is about the 8th best QB in the Pac-10...oh, did I mention the hammer is coming this Friday?...Hey Bucket, let's Par-tay already, we know what's coming on Friday! hahahaha
Funny thing is that even if NCAA hammer comes down (which I think is not likely to happen), we'll still out recruit UCLA. More importantly, we'll continue to smoke you on the field. So I'd suggest that Bruin trolls go back to your cubicles until you prove something on the field. You guys are pathetic.
Scott Wolf should be nominated for the Pulitzer prize...easily the best sports writer in the country.
bobo is another dilusional trogie. UCLA has outrecruited SUC two years in a row now...they filled all the voids, while usc failed miserably at recruiting LBs and OLine...my God, How many receivers does usc have, 50?
I just have one question RuinRob, how old are you? 12?
Gotta love these 'Ruin fans. Takes a lot of gumption to keep getting hammered every year on the field and still come back for more.
What was that again, 'RuinBob??? Recruiting, you say?? Well here you go...

I know, I know. Truth hurts, doesn't it???
Again, none of these guys would be committing to USC if the NCAA had the goods and the real hammer was going to fall on the program. The guys that did commit would be bolting already. SC has had the info for at least a couple days and still the recruits keep coming.
Jones leaving is only due to the fact the USC doctors won't clear him to play and he needs to go to a new school to get evaluated some more.
already seeing the stages of grief, we are.
trojans in denial, i sense.
soon after the announcement, anger will follow.
clouded by the Dark Side everything is.
landed in LA, the Jedi Council has.
par-tay in L-A, hmmmmm?
herh herh herh.
I love all the denial...going on, it will make it all sweeter tomorrow.
to Gnossos: no I'm not 12 I'm 13.
to trainofthought: read my post..."the LAST TWO years" and besides this current recruiting season will not be over until Feb. 2011 so don't count the turkeys before the eggs hatch, got it boy? I can't wait 'til tomorrow...we're gonna par-tay!!
Why the F do we keep signing all these QBs!!! We end up with a bunch of kids that suck and their parents bitching about their playing time.
Finally!! a USC fan that gets it!!
usc4life: a great question! it seems that USC gets player so that noone else gets them, hence so many QBs as well Wide Receivers, in the end it will come back and bite them on the a$$ when the depth becomes shallow at other postions as you are starting to see at the OLine, DLine and LB pos.
BruinRob, the recruiting news the last two years wasn't all that much better. Hit the drop-down menu under year and compare the 2009 and 2010 classes. UCLA's still trailing in talent. That, much more than whatever happens tomorrow, is going to affect what continues to happen on the field.
You're begging, bazinga. 'RuinBob clearly can't read. Otherwise, this would never have come out of his mouth: "UCLA has outrecruited SUC two years in a row now"
In what exactly, 'RuinBob?? Water Polo??? Women's Soccer???

spedmoans, you just posted a link that shows 'SC with 10 Top 100 recruits and fucla with 4. Hmmm.
'SC also has the highest average star rating per recruit. Highest on the page, mind you. fucla signed 9 more recruits, and by scout.com's rankings, "outscored" 'SC by a whopping 229 "recruiting points." Congratulations.
By the way, 'SC finished higher in ESPN.com's and rivals.com's rankings. Just thought I'd clarify that for you.
