And it's time to answer more questions.

Is Charlie Sheen the embodiment of the "Win Forever" philosophy?

A: Either he read the book or he has a eerie similarity to the thought-processes of Pete Carroll because his quotes often sound directly from the Win Forever philosophy. That's why I've been comparing quotes between the two masters of winning.

There's been rumors (I saw them on Sports Illustrated) that there are tapes that prove that Cam Newton knew what his father was doing. In this tapes his father apparently was selling his son's services to Mississippi State and Tennessee. If, and that is a big if, these tapes are real could this in any way affect Kiffin or was he not involved in recruiting Cam Newton while at Tennessee?

A: Before the controversy erupted, Kiffin said he recruited Cam Newton but backed off for different reasons. Now I've never heard Kiffin said anything about money one way or another. I know he made it sound like he dropped interest in Newton. You could argue he backed off once Newton's father started asking for money. Or that Newton wanted to go to Auburn more. But right now, I don't know more than that.

Can you provide any insight into how Aaron Fuller is looking in practice? Does KO expect him to be a starter next year? How about our JC transfers, Dedmon this year and the 2 coming in for next year? What do you expect from them?


A: Fuller's looked very smooth in practices and Kevin O'Neill thinks he will probably start next year. He can play the 2 or the 3 and plays with a lot of poise. DeWayne Dedmon is around 6-10 but can play out on the perimeter, much like Nikola Vucevic. I think Dedmon's role will be determined by whether Vucevic goes pro or not. If Vucevic leaves, he will have to play. Greg Allen from Navarro J.C. is going to be a guy who plays against zone defenses when USC needs outside shooting, something that would be valuable this season. I think Alexis Moore will be able to play quite a bit next year and Byron Wesley will also find minutes because of his physical nature.
