Chris Galippo
Linebacker Luthur Brown did not practice because of back issues. He's experienced back problems since his freshman year and underwent surgery. ``We're keeping him quiet,'' USC coach Pete Carroll said. Brown's absence could be significant because the other reserve middle linebacker, Chris Galippo, is out until October following back surgery....

Make that a thin cardinal line protecting USC's backfield, which also happens to be hamstrung by injuries. While every team looses players during the season (Cal lost to Oregon State without their starting QB, Stanford beat USC without their's), can anybody in the nation match up with the Trojan's carnage? From USC football's weekly press release:Already this season, 11...

Freshman from Anaheim Servite looks polished already, but older teammates are still tutoring him. USC practices today for the first time in full pads, which probably comes as a relief to running backs and receivers who have been smashed by freshman linebacker Chris Galippo without the benefit of full armor....

Whoaaa doctor, it's the first PC Press Conference of 2007, and he wastes no time in getting to TrojanWire's prediction for impact player of the year, fullback Stanley Havili.
"I think we have seen a tremendous spring from Stanley Havili. He is a first flight player for us and he is going to be involved in a big way because we like everything he does. He blocks well, he runs with the ball well, he catches the ball really well. He has learned the system beautifully and he is way ahead of anybody else we have had in these early stages. He was just going to be a redshirt freshman for us and we are already talking about him like he's a really accomplished kid at his position."

LOS ANGELES, CA - The USC Dickwads capped their fifth straight double digit win season under head liar Pete Carroll by signing another goddamned ridiculous top-ranked recruiting class on National Letter of Intent to Sell Your Soul to the Condoms Day. Sources say Carroll, above, uses the same methods for both cheerleaders and blue chip recruits: charm and Rohypnol....

Looks to be the year of the RB again. The rotation at that position for the Trojans is probably deeper than that of any school at any time, ever.
Pete Carroll signed more 5-star rated prospects than any other university in the nation this year; but with many returning starters and limited scholarships, lost the mythical recruiting title to Florida.
Something tells us that USC's two lone 3-stars may be overlooked though.
Rhett Ellison is the son of Riki Ellison, a member of USC's 1978 national championship team and 2-time Super Bowler with the San Francisco 49ers.
Trey Henderson is from Canada? When's the last time you heard of an American footballer coming from there? He was under the radar. And USC detected him.
Here's a look at the entire class including Arkansas transfer Damian Williams.
- LB Jordan Campbell 4-star 5-11/226 (Corona, CA)
- WR Brandon Carswell 4-star 6-1/172 (Milpitas, CA)
- OL Martin Coleman 4-star 6-5/290 (Huntington Beach, CA)
- QB Aaron Corp 4-star 6-4/195 (Villa Park, CA)
- TE Rhett Ellison 3-star 6-5 230 (Mountain View, CA)
- LB Chris Galippo 5-star 6-3/235 (Anaheim, CA)
- RB Broderick Green 4-star 6-1/230 (Little Rock, AR)
- DE Everson Griffen 5-star 6-4/266 (Avondale, AZ)
- DT Da'John Harris 4-star 6-4/266 (Gardena, CA)
- DE Trey Henderson 3-star 6-3/264 (Vancouver, B.C.)
- WR Ronald Johnson 5-star 6-0/177 (Muskegon, MI)
- DB Marshall Jones 3-star 6-0/185 (Westlake Village, CA)
- RB Joe McKnight 5-star 6-1/193 (River Ridge, LA)
- OL Kristofer O'Dowd 5-star 6-5/315 (Tucson, AZ)
- DE Michael Reardon 5-star 6-6/260 (Villa Park, CA)
- ATH Malcolm Smith 4-star 6-2/200(Woodland Hills, CA)
- DE Christian Tupou 4-star 6-3/260 (Sacramento, CA)
- RB Marc Tyler 4-star 6-0/215 (Westlake Village, CA)
- WR Damian Williams 4-star 6-1/190 (Springdale, AR)

The Long Beach Press Telegram released their "Best in the West" -- a list of the highest-rated recruits from Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah or Washington.
Pete Carroll seems to be doing a pretty good job of making sure that any talent west of the Rockies comes to play football for the USC Trojans.
All highlights have indicated a commitment to USC with the others considering USC except for the two cross-offs. (Jimmy Clausen is going to Notre Dame. And Brian Price to UCLA.)
