Cornerback Trey Davis, who committed to USC this week, picked up a scholarship offer from Washington State. So Davis has offers from USC, Washington State, Portland State and Sacramento State. Why hasn’t Washington offered Davis? He is from Federal Way, which is 24 miles from Seattle. Chris Petersen is not a dummy. But maybe the Huskies will offer Davis eventually.

The case could go to … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For The Notes Column
Cornerback Trey Davis of Federal Way, Wash., is expected to commit to USC tomorrow. Here is the interesting part: His other offers are from Portland State and Sacramento State. Maybe USC saw Davis before other Division I schools and is getting a hidden gem. There is no rule that a player needs four stars to be recruited. But to repeat what I said this morning, … Continue reading USC Following Its Own Path In Recruiting
