Don't forget about Donte Stallworth and Cedric Wilson.
well I did say, "off the top of my head" so they were just the first 3 I thought of...I was trying to prove a point. I could never forget Witten, he's from 5 min. away from me so he's a huge name in my area...but I was just thinking WRs. In any case, USCjr has no case when it comes to grooming proffesional football players.Wilson no more
But Eric Parker did good for the Chargers but injury has forced him out of action.
How you can forget Jason Witten I have no Idea
Carl Pickens?
David Martin...
Best UT receivers in the pros: Witten and Harper. Too bad some of the others could not stay healthy. What ever happened to KWash?
IMO, if he wanted the direct conduit to the NFL he would have stuck with USCw...no one can argue that they produce more NFL talent than any other school in the country. I think that if UT had a QB that was heads and shoulders about the crap we have at USC now, it was be a no brainer; however, there are big question marks about both programs at this point. Being as objective as I can, it will come down to the visits. I think that if he is going to commit to UT, he will do it on his visit; if he leaves without committing he will probably end up in Columbia. FWIW, he is out of a high school that is usually a pipeline to Clemson so that is also in your favor.

As for USC, our list is small, regardless of what IHATEORANGE says...it would probably only include Sterling Sharpe and possible Sidney Rice (good rookie year but hurt most of this year). Williamson was overrated coming out of college and really needed to stay his senior year (hell I think that Sidney Rice needed to stay both his junior and senior year)

I'll give you the last 2 years that UT/SCjr are even on WR the last 2 years, but not further than that.k:What did I say? I never said we had a better program for producing NFL receivers. I even said both teams don't have a QB so you can't give an advantage to either. USC and UT haven't ousted each other in the WR department the past 4-5 years.

Good take, but USC does not put out the most nfl players if you look at the past decade. They are near the top, but I know for a fact that OSU (even though I hate the buckeyes) has produced more NFL players.
I heard Carroll say once that he didn't recruit players out of CA unless he thought they would be first round draft choices. I don't like USC or Pete but a kid has talent if he approves a plane ticket.Jeffrey will be good but I question his desire to compete. THere is no doubt that he is talented if USCw offers him; however, I am sure the depth chart scared him there as well that at UF. He is a big kid with good jumping ability and hands. He will be a good college receiver wherever he lands. I like our chances to land him but it would be hard to turn down playing in front of 106K every week....neyland is CRAZY
USCe just lost another assistant according to GVX. That attrition can't look good to recruits especially with open speculation about how long SOS will stay on. These kids might go to USCe due to home state emotions... but they don't look as good in the balance.
We lost Gillespie (RB Coach) a couple days ago to Oklahoma State. That must be who you are referring too...for recruiting it is a big loss, for coaching...well did you see our RB's this year. Not a huge loss. Now I know that you are not digging at USCe but based on your logic please consider that UT is replacing their entire staff (most of the staff at least) so with regards to Alshon it is a wash. As for the speculation of SOS, I bet that he is 100% honest with what he is telling recruits. I bet that he stays at least three more years (minimum) as he told the recruits who will be RS Sophmores that he will be here until they graduate. I doubt that he told the current class the same.

yep...it could be interesting when he cancels after committing during his visit to Knoxville
there is no doubt that he hurt us by leaving with regards to recruiting. You may be correct about the stats, however we have no OL so the coach at RB really doesn't matter until that is addressed. We have never had a back recently with "gamebreaker" speed so I am not sure how much that is on Gillespie; however you would think that as the RB coach he would have recruited more speed. Though I know that you all hate him, Giles should be pretty good though I think that he will be third on the depth chart behind Brian Maddox and Kenny Miles. I think that Gillespie left mainly b/c our new OL coach was given the title of "running game coordinator" in order for USC to give him a multi-year contract...plus we don't have the money of the big programs to pay them top dollar
