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.

Young update

Nick Young is making the rounds in the final week before the draft. He just returned from a trip to Detroit, Philadelphia and Memphis. He has a second meeting with the Clippers on Friday before heading to New Orleans on Monday.

In Philadelphia, Young had dinner with Sixers assistant coach Henry Bibby, the man who recruited him to USC.

``He's still a cool guy,'' Young said. ``He said he wanted to talk about everything, even the USC days. He let me order lobster. It was just like I was on my recruiting trip again.''
