He says that USC has a great history.

No. no we don’t. But that’s ok, because just like Jay-Z said, “It ain’t where I been, but where I’m bout to go”

Good hire though. Welcome aboard!

Found this in a fanshot on Team Speed Kills

Year2 has this fanpost that lists a revised ranking from the recruiting classes in 2009, and the article lists South Carolina as 7th, which is up from 12th on the original Rivals rankings.

Very interesting article--good stuff from Staples.

Goes to show you that our coaches are recruiting even better than the rankings suggest. I’ve been impressed by our performance in filling needs, more than anything else. What’s killing teams like Clemson and Tennessee is that they’re recruiting good athletes at the skills positions but are whiffing on key OL / DL prospects. Tennessee signed no OL this cycle. That’s a recipe for disaster, as we learned from the Hunt years.

Looking at that thing again, though, makes you wonder where he gets off putting Clemson on that list.

The reasoning seems to be that six out of the twelve players they signed that year are starters. But only signing twelve is part of the reason they have no depth.
