MATTHEW KREDELL

Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era. After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean, he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills.

Pete Carroll's impact

``Pete's a basketball guy,'' Tim Floyd said. ``He plays noon ball every day. He watches practice on occasion, he comes to games and I've had him speak to the team before a couple of key games this year. Every recruit we have on campus sits down and visits with him. He pulls like heck for us.''

Most of this is known already. The most interesting part is that every basketball recruit that visits USC meets with Carroll.
