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.

This will be my last post on this blog. The Daily News is moving me to the Los Angeles Kings beat. Scott Wolf and Phil Collin will handle USC basketball. I'm not sure if they will keep a separate basketball blog or merge it back into Scott's USC blog. I enjoyed interacting with all of you over the past year. Thanks for reading.

Say it aint so Matt! I've really enjoyed the blog. I will need to find a new source for USC basketball. I don't see myself visiting Wolf's blog.
Good luck ... I'll miss the blog.

That's terrible news! Congrats on the move up, but your insights will definitely be missed. I personally enjoy your blog and your style far more than wolf's. Oh well, guess I'll just have to get my SC Hoops news elsewhere.
Thanks for everything!

Our loss is certainly the Kings' gain, Will miss your insightful postings. Now with Scott back on the beat, we will be bombarded with names of players planning to transfer. Good luck to you Matthew.

really sorry to hear that matt. your blog was a great source for usc basketball, and with the emergence of the tim floyd era, i couldn't imagine another time when sc hoops was getting daily reports in AUGUST. best of luck.

Matt, say it ain't so! Your blog was amazing. Too bad you will miss covering Mayo, but now you are on to the pro ranks. Congrats, and your blog will really be missed.

Matt - Thanks for the blog. You will be missed. Let's hope a new writer is assigned as SC will dominate this year and make the guttly little bruins seem like yesterday.

I don't know who he is, but I vote for Phil Collin! He might even give us the type of hoop news you did.

The daily news wised up and figured out no one cares about suc basketball except for the 15 or so disillusioned fools. Now we don't have to put up with your bias and unrealistic expectations of suc basketball being the next best thing to come along since ice cream. Good Riddance. Floyd still suc(s). SUC ON!
