You still did not answer my questions!

Recruiting is a separate issue. You have to determine which players peaked in the high school and which players have room to develop. In addition, you must DEVELOP your players when they enter your program. Texas is a good example of being opposite of OU and USC.

USC has great example to answer your question from last years recruiting class. USC star freshman WR Dwane Jarret was a 4star recruit from NY but the USC coaching staff said they project him to be an immediate impact (similar to Mike Williams). USC also recruited a 5-star WR Fred Davis from Ohio and he was not projected to be an impact right away because he did not face tough competition in high school but he has all the physical tools.

As of right now, Jarrret is already a star and Davis is still developing although Davis could have the most upside of the 2. Jarret has 8 TD's while Davis has 2 completions. Looks like the staff scouted correctly and the recruiting services were wrong. Jarret should have been a 5 star recruit NOT Davis.

Recruiting services projected Davis being a superstar his frosh year. USC coaches said Jarret the 4star recruit would be. Based on the recruiting services eyes, they all projected Davis to be the IMMEDIATE SUPERSTAR because he ran circles around weaker competition. Kinda similar to the AU defense running circles around Citadel!

Scott,


Gotta love your comments even though they are usually wrong but they are laughable. Anderson a NFL caliber QB??????? He will be lucky to get drafted at all as the guy melts down in every big game and throws picks all day.

Top offenses

Well at lest you hit one of the top teams in the country in total offense but the other three are not in the top thirty teams in offense. Asa matter of fact, OSU and Va Tech are not even in the top 50% in the country.

Boise
Why does it matter where they played as a superior team should win regardless of the venue, but if you want a game at Corvalis well then New Mexico shut down OSU better than USC. Fog would actually favor the defense, if you go back in the NFL history Philly and Chi played in a worse fog and both defenses excelled in the game.

Value

Auburn has the best def of the contending teams outside of Wisky therefore a defensive dog is always a good bet when playing a moneyline dog. Also, a solid running game that is another trait that I look for in a dog moneyline play, which would qualify them for the Rushing Dog theory.

Recruiting
What's your take on Callan going into So Cal and raiding the area for recruits? Accroding to Lemming they stole a RB and a huge OL from USC this week when Marlon Lucky, Leon Jackson and Picou all selected Nebraska over USC. Lemming has the Huskers and Horns 1-2 in recruiting and USC 11th.

Recruiting
What's your take on Callan going into So Cal and raiding the area for recruits? According to Lemming they stole a RB and a huge OL from USC this week when Marlon Lucky, Leon Jackson and Picou all selected Nebraska over USC. Lemming has the Huskers and Horns 1-2 in recruiting and USC 11th.

My take is this. Callan is a great recruiter and bringing in some great talent (exactly what NU needs). Lucky is an awesome RB but I would not necessarily say NU beat out USC for him. Lucky has poor grades and prob. would not qualify to get into USC. In addition, USC is loaded at RB where Lucky would NOT see playing time at all his 1st year. If Lucky's grades get better, it would not surprise me in the least if he commits to USC. Lemming doesn't mention Lucky's grades and Lemming is a bonehead when it comes to recruiting which ironically is his profession. He is right about 40% of the time and is a big joke. If you follow recruiting closely you would agree with me.

BTW, Peterson would be a Trojan if USC did not have 4 stud RB's on their roster right now. Peterson after verballing to OU was quoted saying he might of ended up at USC if there was not so much competition. Peterson would not beat out Bush and White for playing time. However, he would split time with them. I think Peterson made the right decision going to OU. Maybe Lucky will make the right decision as well playing for Nebraska. Good luck to him.

Recruiting rankings mean jack right now and many top recruits have silent verbals that nobody knows about. USC prob. will finish with a top 3 class but USC can't have back to back to back #1 recruiting classes. At some point you are too talented of a team and big stars want early playing time. RB is not a position of need for USC but USC did want LUCKY!

Gotta love your comments even though they are usually wrong but they are laughable. Anderson a NFL caliber QB??????? He will be lucky to get drafted at all as the guy melts down in every big game and throws picks all day.

Anderson WILL get drafted into the NFL. At what round I don't know.

As for your boise and OSU arguments. They are bogus because everyone knows when your the #1 team in the country you usually are going to get the A games from your opponents. Opponents are always geeked to play the #1 team and the opposing coach will throw the book in trying to pull off an upset. I hope you know that USC has been VERY VANILLA both offensively and defensively this year. Chow is setting up USC's rivals and the Orange Bowl for a showcase.

I agree with you about the rushing theory but you still not explained why it is a great futures bet. You are specifically one game. IF AU is 4-1 to win the Orange Bowl, they likely will be 2-1 to beat USC in the Orange Bowl. AU will have to win out, hope OU loses or hope to pass them, AND THEN beat USC in the Orange Bowl. Where is your value at 4-1?


Lastly, why can't you ever put up an argument to support your opinion?

do you really believe some of the shit you post? youre right, chow and carroll want to risk losing to virginia tech, cal, stanford, and oregon state....... all so they can save plays for the orange bowl.

I go to many of the practices and the things they run are not used in games. If you watched USC offense the last 2.5 years under chow, he only opens it up at the end of the year. Chow as OC sets teams up and always thinks ahead. For example in the Rose Bowl that trick reverse play throw pass was all set up by 2 previous plays. Michigan OL studied all of USC blitz schemes but during the Rose Bowl a Michigan OL after the game said USC must have used 10 blitz schemes they never seen before. Its call setting up your opponents.

Of course USC used critical plays iin certain close games/situations. BUt USC has been very vanilla for the most part this year. Part of the reason is because USC only returned 2 starters on offense from last year and the injuries at the WR position.


Here is an example.
Desmond Reed is an explosive player for USC #22, yet he has been barely used. In practices he is used with Bush at the same time on the field. Why use him now in games so other teams can prepare for that? Reed is very similar to Reggie Bush and has averaged 5 yards per carry and can catch out of the backfield like Bush. Line up both players in the backfield at the same time and send them out on pass patterns. How do you defend that AND stop the other weapons when you have no game film to study it. Think about it. USC coaching staff is very smart.

I am telling everyone, USC is setting up everyone and their future Orange Bowl opponent.

WHY DO YOU THINK I LAID SO MUCH MONEY ON USC TO WIN THE NC??? I prob. won't hedge or middle my bet. Everything will come together at the end of the season and it is just right around the corner. USC also gets their injured players back next week.

It prob. sounds like I am blowing smoke but I have won every single huge bet ($500 plus) I have placed on USC in the last 3 years EXCEPT on USC against Utah in Las Vegas 3 years ago in year 1 of Pete Carroll. However that might not be so impressive since USC been a covering maching the last 2.5 years. Maybe i was just lucky.
