• Suddenly, everything's coming up A.C. After some inevitable early love for true freshman golden boy Matt Barkley, the tide has turned in Southern Cal's hyped quarterback derby -- at least in the press: Every SoCal outlet leads today with praise for Aaron Corp's performance Thursday, with the L.A. Times detailing the sophomore's impressive scrambling ability and both the... more »

Let's face it, an obsession with listmaking — otherwise known as glazomania — is ingrained into probably 90 percent of the human race. For college football pundits, this is probably just as well, since listing and ranking everything from teams, players, and coaches to the wieners at various stadiums' concession stands probably makes up two-thirds of their weekly workload.... more »

The Trojans have landed 11 of the top 100 recruits in the nation. Texas has got 9. Florida has got 8. But there are 27 top 100 recruits still undecided, and USC is on the list of almost all of them, especially the big dogs.

Here's a run-down of potential players to welcome to the Trojan family:

5-star offensive lineman Andre Smith - Supposively gave word to hometown favorite Alabama months ago, but he could be a signing day surprise. COMMITTED TO ALABAMA.

5-star defensive tackle Gerald McCoy - This Oklahoma native would be a huge steal from Stoops. COMMITTED TO OKLAHOMA.

5-star running back C.J. Spiller - A country boy from Florida. Can he and his family make the adjustment to big city living? Pete Carroll certainly made an impression on his mom. He could become the 2nd C.J. of the Trojans' 2006 recruiting class. COMMITTED TO CLEMSON.

5-star running back Stafon Johnson - Straight out of Dorsey. This kid should be a lock to stay in LA. COMMITTED TO USC.

5-star offensive lineman Stephen Schilling - USC has a better chance at this guy then Andre Smith. Although the Trojans would like both after losing underclassmen Winston Justice and Fred Matua. COMMITTED TO MICHIGAN.

4-star running back Michael Goodson - This kid has Reggie Bush-like moves as evidenced in the Army All-American game. COMMITTED TO TEXAS A&M.

4-star running back LeSean McCoy - Likely to remain home and attend Penn State, but he's still on the Trojans' radar since the Trojans' backfield will be playing on Sundays next season.COMMITTED TO MIAMI.

4-star linebacker Michael Morgan - There's nothing like stealing top talent out of Texas. See Emmanuel Moody. COMMITTED TO USC.

4-star defensive back Devin Ross - Supposively the Trojans were out of the running, but are now back on the block. COMMITTED TO ARIZONA.

Chris Wells is the #2 ranked RB prospect in the country (behind LeSean McCoy). He's from Akron, OH and has already verbally commited to Ohio State.

But we know what Pete Carroll thinks of verbal commitments--likening them to engagements--where there's still plenty of time for them to be called off before the wedding.

So Fred Davis, an Ohio statesman that left that state to come to California, played host most of this past weekend to Chris Wells.

"Man, it was all that," laughed Wells in reference to his visit. "...everything was cool, and when we got off the plane, I loved seeing those palm trees ...wow! Then I looked at the airport and thought, 'dang, this is the biggest airport I've seen in my life."

"I'd give the visit a 10. Yeah, it was a 10 out of 10."
