Did Andy Enfield Stiff LSU?
LSU coach Will Wade said Monday night that believed USC would play the Tigers in Baton Rouge next season but it will probably not happen now. “That has not gone the way we planned.

Entertaining USC Recruiting Tales
A couple recruiting stories from the past: If you think when coaches visit high schools, they just cordially greet other, it doesn’t always happen. Maybe 99 percent of the time, but not always. I remember hearing from a coach at Valencia High School that Ed Orgeron visited shortly after Paul Hackett had been fired in 2000, still recruiting for USC.

USC Lands Third Graduate Transfer
Wofford post player Chevez Goodwin has committed to USC, the third graduate to commit to the Trojans since the season ended. Goodwin averaged 11.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season. USC is really going to be quite a mix next season with returining players, grad transfers and incoming freshmen.
