Former USC linebacker Tackett Curtis is now at Central Florida and playing for former USC defensive coordinator Alex Grinch.

If you went back and read some of the stuff written about Curtis when he first arrived at USC, it would be a great lesson in how some people overhype players before they even get a chance to properly adjust to college.

It’s actually happening again with some members of the incoming recruiting class because doing good PR seems to be the main goal for some of the fanboy media. It’s sad because it puts unnecessary pressure on young players.

• When former Colgate guard Jalen Cox transferred to USC last week, he obviously thought Alijah Arenas would turn pro. He averaged 18 points per game last season. So USC now has at least three guys (Rodney Rice, Arenas, Cox) who think the ball should be in their hands. It’s going to be interesting, to say the least, to see what Eric Musselman does, if anything.

Tyran Stokes, the nation’s No. 1 player, is supposed to announce his college choice tonight. Kansas and Kentucky are believed to be the final two. USC is actually still listed as one of his final four.
