You are correct he can recruit, but even the players they don't get gurt really don't do too much at USC. Tara on the other hand, the players she recruits continually get better, each year, Stanford has atleast 2 stars, last year she has Wiggins - who kept getter better each year, Appel - who got better her 2nd year, and Pederson - who will likely be even better enxt year. I'm just not really impressed with him as a player develper, there is no question he gets talent, but even ASU has had a bad string os ACLs since 2004 - Jen Albert, Betsy Boardman x2, Jill Noe x2 and Dymond Simon. Thats 6 ACL in tears in 4 years with 3 NCAA appearances , 1 Sweet 16 in 2005 (Jill Noe out Boardman just recovered from the season before), a 2006 2nd Round Appearance, and an elite 8 appearance in 2007, and an 2nd Round Appearance last season. Compare that with what USC has done in that timespan.
: (SD) They get injured, something about USC and torn ACL's but can't deny that Mark Trakh can't recruit, as a matter of fact I think Trakh and the lady from Palo Alto are the best recruiters in the Pac 10!

: : The only thing about USC and their big recruits is they dont get any better once they get to USC. If I was a big time recruit there is no way I'd go there. Cal seems to be doing some good work on the trail. Any possible commitments for ASU coming up?
: : : USC received it's 2nd big time 2009 committment when 6-2 forward Kendall Hackney from Mount Notre Dame Prep in Cincinnati, Ohio picked USC over Kentucky and other schools among them ASU, this is the 2nd big time committment for Mark Trakh previously they had receive a committment from Christina Marinacci another big time 6-2 forward from Santa Ana, Ca.
