Good luck to him. At the end of the day, he chose where he and his family wanted to go. Can't fault him for that.

I will say, however, that I don't believe that USC will enjoy the same success under Kiffin as it did under Carroll. Kiffin hasn't shown any ability to succeed as a head coach.

A-A prediction-our recruits will be much happier about how their season finishes out next year than USC's:oh::io:

B-To really understand how football recruiting works after January 1st-read some quotes/philosophy of life from Don King(a proud Ohioan). JT won't touch that style w/ a 10 foot pole-and rightfully so-but if you want answers-just do a little digging on Don King, and extrapolate the philosophy/individuals/results from boxing to football

C-Except for the lack of #'s on the OL, I am very pleased with this class. James Louis and Rod Smith will make many happy memories in the Shoe!

He did a pretty good job with a basically mediocre Tennessee team last year (not in the bowl though). He's got a great staff, onbviously can recruit at an extremely high level, and has little competition in their conference. I think he'll continue right on with what Petey was doing: Recruit unbelievable talent, lose 1-2 games each year he shouldn't, and win multiple Rose Bowls. I can only hope we can beat him in one of those Grand Daddy's, just not in the next two years :biggrin: (I want national titles).

Question- sorry if it's too soon.

We're saving a scholly for Latwaan- do you think the other gets banked for next year, gets used for a quality walk-on who's already with the squad, or is there an unknown student athlete (the Australian punter, perhaps) out there?

Assuming everything is equal:

If a parent can sit down with Lane Kiffin and/or Ed Orgeron and have a conversation about their child's future, and then sit down and have that same conversation with Jim Tressel, and then choose USC...

Good Luck.
