No problem. Always a pleasure.

Yeah, it’s been an eventful spring, to say the least. Honestly, despite the drama surrounding Garcia, I feel good about the football program. We’ll be good even without Garcia. Better with him, but decent regardless. We’ve never had this much talent at USC.

This is the first year

I can remember not thinking “OMG if that guy goes down we’re dead”. We’ve had talented teams before. But not a team this talented and this deep.

Yeah, I think we've taken the next step, talent-wise. This team is not only talented, it's deep at most positions. Spurrier has us recruiting at a much different level.

Holtz had some similarly highly ranked classes, but it seems that Spurrier has done a better job of not relying on hit-or-miss JUCO prospects and the like. He’s built this program for longterm success. I believe we’re going to start reaping it over the next few years.

Unless there's a further development, this is my last day with you fine folks.

The internet subscription ends tomorrow, and we’re moving soon so I probably won’t renew it ‘til we do move. I’ve also decided I won’t get it at the new house. I’d say there’s a 75% chance this is my last day. You all run a courteous and informative blog here, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the discussions.

stuff 'bout stuff.

Wow! That was unexpected. We'll miss you, for sure.

You’ve been a valuable community member here. Thanks for the kind words. Why don’t you think you’ll get another internet subscription, if you don’t mind me asking?

I just don't use it for much anymore.

I mostly just come on here, or play flash games at kongregate.com. As much as I enjoy conversing about sports, I can’t really justify it being worth the money. I figure I can just go to the library and use their computers to look up directions to some place, or some factoid if need be.

Yeah, I'm sorry to see you go, seriously.

I understand the decision, though. But we’ll miss your insights.

I forgot, but something interesting happened today.

I was at Lowes in Lexington, and I saw a van with a license plate that read, “USC5”, and it had a Gamecocks sticker on the back windshield. I don’t really see Garcia as a van guy, but I wondered if it was his, ha. I didn’t see him inside, but I wasn’t really looking.

haha sounds like me

My aunt sees alot of USC players coming in the kmart down on charleston highway… shes talked to Norwood and Garcia in recent memory.

I seen Garcia about 2-3 months ago

in the Bank of America ATM machine at parkland plaza. He was driving a little car (this was before he cut his hair, so he was completely recognizable).

Hoops Recruiting

I dont think we have a shot at PG Eli Carter … or PG Chris Colvin. We may win a recruiting battle with LSU for PG Anthony Hickey, but is he really going to step in for Bruce Ellington as a true freshman?

If I was a betting man, I’d wager Counzo Martin gets 2G Kevin Ware to come back to the Vols. Even if he doesn’t, why would he come to USC to compete with Damien Leonard?

It appears we’re not going after another forward or center. Not even a JC. Go figure.

Carter and Colvin

my opinion that we don’t have a shot at Carter and Colvin is based on (a) the fact Carter is a northeastern guy with over a dozen major offers – including a passel of Big East schools – Pitt in particular; (b) Kornblut reports that Colvin fell in love with Arizona State during his official to Tempe and is on the verge of committing to the Sun Devils; advantage – Herb Sendek.

Hickey seems like he’d be a perfect fit at WKU. Notice that WKU is not on the radar; it goes without saying that UK and Louisville are disinterested. No knock on Hickey. He isa Mr. B-ball in a hoops-crazy state which is no mean accomplishment. But its not like were competing with the best of the best for his services.

Re: not recruiting a big man...

I’m honestly beginning to believe that Horn thinks you don’t need an elite big man to win, just a couple of lanky forwards who have decent jump shots. Where’s the beef, Horn?
