This has been going on for years. Now USC decides to hire the second shadiest coach in college football and they still want to go? He should just stick with his decision. He belongs there.

A NY Times article and the good folks at "Our Honor Defend " says Henderson is waiting until USC hears back from the sanctions commitee of the NCAA in a few weeks to see if how hard they might get hit. ......interesting.......

Those bad recruiting years add up over time to produce.....wait for it....lack of depth. Isn't that what makes these other elite schools so good? One great player waiting behind another? Competition, relief on the field, consistent fresh guys with no talent drop off are all things we can say about USC, Texas, most of the SEC. You see, Henderson was a symbol and by not getting him Adams and these other guys don't have to COMPETE as hard. It's going to be business as usual for the old O-Line next year. We won the national title in 2002 with super talent on the defensive line and some great talent on the offensive line. The years we lost the NC were due to our lack of talent and depth in these two areas. Hey, this staff get a D at best in line recruiting and development, it is our weakest area as a team IMO.

We just won our first bowl game in 3 years. It isn't fun being shat upon by everyone from the South and the West coast. Many of the starters this year were from that awesome '08 recruiting class. Great recruiting classes translate to success on the field. This class is good but we've seen what good - not great - recruiting classes get you. Sorry, but I don't feel like reliving the past 2-3 years. I wonder why Ed. We just won our first bowl game in 3 years. It isn’t fun being shat upon by everyone from the South and the West coast.

We have a few guys who will be making checks on Sundays and more who will be big time players for us. But we needed an elite tackle to tie this line together next year since Adams hasn't stepped up.

It's an overblown stat that will never get this team over the hump. We need elite players like the recruits from '08 and '09. Some of those guys aren't going to pan out but some could be legends after next year if they bring home the NC. Star ratings do matter.

Clusterfuck is. Are you kidding me that Tressel says in his presser that just taking 1 offensive lineman is no big deal? Look, this staff is lying through their teeth if they are not truly devastated Hendersuck went to USC. But why wouldn't he after watching them beat us up front, at our house, at night on the only drive that counted. Or maybe because he has watched our line struggle for what seems like the history of the University now. O & D lines are what has made the SEC, USC, and other elite programs what we all hate. Why are we so infatuated with 3-star athletes? Jesus. Fiasco is not the word. Clusterfuck is.
