the ripple effect this has on recruiting...
i know kiffin is bringing uber recruiter orgeron with him, but if i’m an 18 year old kid making one of the biggest decisions of my life, can you honestly say that you’d be able to trust this guy ?
he just comes off as such a duder. hopefully this has a ripple effect on recruiting. if we can encourage sentreal henderson (#1 recruit in the country, top two schools are usc and ohio state) to not go to the kiffinites; and if you guys get baxter, that would be a pretty awesome middle finger to the trojans.
It will be one of those hit or miss things. Some kids will love him, some will hate him.
As far as Baxter, he originally committed when Kiffin was around. He’ll stay at USC, and may not even visit this weekend.

Yeah,
It never really seemed to me like we had a great shot at Baxter. Oh well.
Who needs the pistol when you have the TaZeR? Kenjon Barner, the Ducks officially licensed tazer since 2009.
He was essentially re-starting the entire recruiting process. So it wouldn’t have been a great shot, but still a shot. I still hope he makes a visit.

i was reading yesterday's thread...
and someone put in a picture of will ferrell in anchor man, holding/yelling for his dog baxter. it was one of the funnier things i’ve seen on this blog.
Hells yeah I did.

Yeah, its called cash
Seriously, he’s had final fours vacated at both UMass and Memphis now. I think Kentucky will end up being the third before long.

There really should be a two strike rule. These coaches shouldn’t be allowed to coach in the ncaa. Sampson and calipari both

One thing I agree with Bobby Knight on
I would ask Rich Neuheisel to the list for football of course, since he had major violations at both UW and Colorado.
The NCAA will never do it but they should.

Although despite what I said below
Fact is that the PGs he develops for the NBA tend to do very well (Rose, Evans) as do a number of other players he had (like Camby).

bellotti
There was a lot of discussion about Bellotti possibly coaching USC. I knew it would not happen.
That said, IF and that’s a big if, bellotti wants to get back into coaching this year, I could see him being interested in the tennessee job

I have LOVED listening to his broadcasts this year.
Classy, intelligent, and articulate.

I keep expecting Pete Caroll to tell us we've been punked
Because otherwise I can’t understand why they would pick Lane Kiffin as the new USC coach.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
He is a proven recruiter and has amassed enough coaching talent around him to make up for any X’s and O’s deficiencies (that may or may not exist).

Now if only his recruits wouldn't commit felonies
Like attempted armed robbery with an unloaded weapon and a Prius.

More recruiting speculation and thoughts.
From Ted Miller, who says USC may actually benefit…
I don’t see it though. I think that this move definitely firms up the existing 2010 class, and they may also pull in a few Tennessee recruits. But all the recruits that were on the fence between USC and other schools, I just don’t see them getting those recruits. Guys like Powell, Lache, etc. will likely go elsewhere.
Let’s also not forget that Kiffin is a very known quantity. Many of these national players know him or are familiar with him. Tennessee recruited a lot of national players. If a player wasn’t interested in Tennessee, it’s a fair assumption that Kiffin moving to USC won’t be viewed in a positive light.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
And I'm sure every school
Is going to use his 1-year stay at Tennessee to bash Kiffin as unreliable to recruits.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Certainly nothing concrete. I just get the impression that he is one of those glamour guys who likes attention. Bryce brown-esque (obviously not as bad). He seemed pretty diehard usc before the season. Plus we have lamichael, barner and the other recruit whose name I can’t seem to recall

For the record, I think USC is the last place he ends up. He just canceled his USC visit, which pretty much says everything about that situation.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Well, I guess I’ll chalk that one up to my general pessimism. Was not aware that he cancelled his trip
by westspec on Jan 13, 2010 10:15 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
via ESPN.
Four-star Lache Seastrunk (Temple, Texas) will not take a scheduled trip to USC following the coaching change, ESPN affiliate Web site DuckTerritory.com reports.
“No, I am not visiting USC this coming weekend. I don’t plan on visiting USC at this point. I’m aware of the new coach and it will likely not change my decision moving forward. I have cancelled this trip, I have no other visits planned, and I’m actually hoping to have my decision very soon.”
Oregon, Auburn, LSU and Memphis along with the Trojans are believed to be the schools still under consideration for the ESPNU 150 prospect.

The students chant “come to oregon” at recruits all the time. the “re” just gets swallowed.

Absolutely fantastic barbecue there too. You can’t underestimate the recruiting power of phenomenal pulled pork.

This would be a major factor for my recruitment,
Assuming my High School actually had a football team, and that I was actually athletically gifted.

+1 RE: Barbeque.
I emphatically agree.
Oh, RAT FARTS!!!!!

if they also had a drop dead good mexican place
you know, where the foods so good that you’re sitting within 5 steps of the john all night, then sign me up brotha!

Wow,
If you indeed love Mexican food, you really need to come to LA or San Diego! So damn good. Damn Good.

No.

Really?
Personally, I cannot stand Westwood.
Have you been to their campus yet?

What are you talking about? Their campus is beautiful. The surrounding area has some great places, but it’s a little bit on the snobbish side. UCLA was my second choice after UO.

yeah i went this summer
westwood is actually pretty cool. It has the same kind of feel as UO+sun. Plus i got to drool in the sports hall of fame. plus i snuck into pauley. plus i was there the day MJ died.
The beloved creator of Sandwich music.
Their campus is nice. No way to deny that.
But Westwood is way too wealthy and has way too many fashion boutique type places for me. Not to mention there is round the clock traffic there. Just a little too snobbish from my tastes.

Yeah, have fun paying $1200 a month to share a room.

not like i'm going there unless i get a shitload in scholarships
and what, no props for sneaking into pauley!?

The runningbacks coach from LSU that was recruiting him took a job at Memphis,
And Lache has a great relationship with him, so I understand why he would put Memphis on his list. He most certainly will not go there I imagine.

Woo Hooo!
At hearing this news, Lane Kiffin is currently making up some recruiting violation directed towards all of the schools left on Lache’s list.

Lache doesn’t seem like the type who is willing to share the spotlight. Lattimore, on the otherhand seems like he is a true team player. But whether he’ll move cross-country from his family is really questionable
by westspec on Jan 13, 2010 10:13 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
If Seastrunk comits,
It will be tough to get Lattimore to commit as well, and vice versa. I really like our chances at finally landing another 5-star runningback.

If he was being honest with himself, that face would be Les Miles.
