USC Morning Buzz: Overhyping Players Always A Danger

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.

    1. KAM: Social Worker Marvena Twigg, the President and CEO of the “National Youth Advocate Program”, receives an annual salary of approximately $1.9 million. The Grift rakes in $212–279 million in annual revenue primarily from taxpayers and operates across multiple states (reports vary from 10–13 states) with dozens of locations and partners with government agencies, including significant contracts with the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) for unaccompanied children.

      DON: USC should offer a undergraduate major in NGO Grifting.

      3. They keep throwing gas on the flames and then when it explodes, they act as if they did nothing.

        The Left won’t be happy until we have another civil war.

      2. KAM: Cowardly Gabby  will not, indeed cannot, abandon her addiction to deadly v i o l e n c e against her opponents because it’s permanently embedded in her ideological DNA. She follows her Messiah Saul Alinsky, who wrote the Rules for Radicals:

        Alinsky felt the doctrine of revolutionary change means that ethical standards are not important. ‘That perennial question, ‘Does the end justify the means?’ is meaningless as it stands; the real and only question regarding the ethics of means and ends is, and always has been, ‘Does this particular end justify this particular means?”

        Ethics doesn’t govern the revolutionary activist, Alinsky counseled, ‘in war the end justifies almost any means,’ adding, ‘Ethical standards must be elastic to stretch with the times.’

        DON: Alinsky’s rationalization for doing whatever the Left thinks it can get away with in its pursuit of absolute political power vividly reminds us that politics is downstream from morality, which is downstream from theology. If Cowardly Gabby is her own higher power, sooner or later she will practice “anything goes” as her morality.
