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.

``We tried everything to convince him to stay,’’ sophomore forward Keith Wilkinson said. ``We tried to sell him on the basketball, the friends, the girls. We took him out to Santa Monica to the Promenade and threw a couple parties in the apartment just for him. But he had his mind set on it. I think he’s going to be a great NBA player.’’

Hey Matt -
Can we get an update and some info on the recent recruiting commits for SC basketball? I keep hearing things but don't know about the players. ie Master P's kid?? And did some hotshot guard for 08 decommit recently?
Thanks.
MK edit: USC got oral commitments from point guard Angelo Johnson from Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley and small forward Demar DeRozan from Compton High for 2008. Both are four-star players rated in the top 100 by rivals.com and scout.com. Master P's son, Romeo Miller, says he plans to go to USC as a recruited walk-on. He is also known as Lil' Romeo in the rap world and is close friends with DeRozan. USC's prize recruit for the class of 2008, Brandon Jennings, has opened up his recruiting and is considering other schools, though USC remains in the mix.
