Carroll to conduct seminar for draft-eligible players in December. Possible early-entrants: Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Winston Justice, Steve Smith, Darnell Bing and Lawrence Jackson. "I've talked to all of the guys to let them know it's OK to talk about it," Carroll said.
Mike Williams: "I have all the money, I'm a pro athlete and I'm where I want to be on the big stage," Williams said in a telephone interview. "Still, I was talking to [Lion quarterback] Joey Harrington and I was saying, 'Man, we're young, we're rich and this and that and the other, but I still remember the days when I went to practice and went back home to the apartment with [defensive lineman] Frostee Rucker … getting ready for UCLA. I miss that."
"I regret leaving school and I really didn't understand that Coach Carroll and Coach [Lane Kiffin] and those guys had my best interest in mind. I was thinking, 'They want me to stay because it helped them.' "
The players will have till mid-January to decide whether or not to delcare for the April 2006 draft. Of couse there's a chance to go in the supplemental draft too (a la Many Wright).

From the Associated Press (via the O.C.
Register):
Miami Dolphins rookie Manuel Wright apparently is having a difficult time adjusting to the NFL, and was in tears Tuesday.
The
6-foot-6, 290-pound defensive tackle from USC - the only pick in this
month's supplemental draft - broke down during an on-field workout
session.
Sounds like Manuel Wright is missing ol' Coach Carroll more than he expected. But we're sure no rookie hazing will come
out of this event, or anything like that....so Manny, just let that waterworks flow.

Well, at least Manny Wright found a home somewhere:
NEW YORK - Southern California
defensive tackle Manuel Wright was
chosen by the Miami Dolphins on Thursday in the fifth round of the
NFL's supplemental draft.
Considering he had a hard time focusing on his studies in L.A., we just hope the many distractions of Miami
don't detract from his insane on-field talent. But for now, congrats to Manuel on joining the SC/NFL fraternity....O.J. will be dropping by with your
dinner jacket promptly.
