Follow the jump to view the Harris highlight video as well as stats on USC's former 3-star recruits.

The scene was on court at the Galen Center again, where a couple times Pete Carroll expressed his desire to see Tim Floyd's bunch hand the Bruins another loss this year.

Carroll said this class was about "bigs" not "flash" and he felt fortunate that the Trojans were in a position to play it this way, this year. Joe McKnight was sure excited about the 5 solid offensive line prospects.

After the jump are some notes from last nights event.

Why is Pete Carroll jotting down notes at your six-year old brother's pee wee football game? Why is Carroll carousing the maternity ward, clocking just how fast the newborn baby makes it through the birth canal? Why, you ask?...Because it's never too early to start recruiting for 2025.

Okay. It's not that extreme but Carroll is making waves with his early recruiting tactics, locking in power-recruits before anyone else can get their hands on them. Carroll, along with his recruiting coordinator (and eldest son - Brennan), are sweeping up big talent from all around Southern California, already landing early-bird recruits for 2009.

K2, the younger brother of Ryan Kalil, had a great Nike Camp -- winning all of his 15 one-on-one reps.

"The only guys I remember calling me out were the UCLA d-linemen, but I killed those guys."

The 6-foot-7 Kalil is rated #16 on the Rivals100, and might just be the nation's best pass blocking offensive tackle.

Then check his thoughts on USC:

"USC's looking at my tape right now as we speak," said the Cy-Fair High School running back, who is ranked by Scout.com as the nation's No. 42 prospect. "I want an offer from them so bad. I really like Coach (Ken) Norton. He's a cool dude. He went to UCLA and his dad was a professional boxer. We text each other all the time.

"Great running backs come from USC," McGuffie said. "I've been compared to Reggie Bush before and that's a big deal. I'm going to take a trip there at the beginning of the season hopefully. An offer from SC would be huge. I would definitely be tempted to commit."

Then wash it all down with this:

Houston (Texas) Cy-Fair running back Sam McGuffie was offered by University of Southern California coach Pete Carroll and assistant Ken Norton Jr. during school on Thursday.

Savor the flavor.

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)

Bios for all players after the jump (sorry we are still getting the white page to format downaward but highlighting the text and reading will have to work for now or you can go here.)

There is talk that Marc Tyler could be converted to a linebacker.

Anyways, enjoy this video of the Green Hornet...

There are several Joe McKnight videos on You Tube.

No, not Jimmy Clausen's pronouncement that he was going to bring 4 national championships to Notre Dame. Not even close. What we're talking about is recent commit, RoJo, his brother CoJo, and their grandmother at their local Michigan church last Sunday.

We took the time out of our oh so busy day to cut a few clips from this 20 minute video from SpartanMag.com by way of USCfootball.com.

Without further ado... RoJo's grandmother. Man, what a lady.

How about some love for Moses?

And if you want to watch CoJo help his brother RoJo select his university of choice... click below.

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.)

2007 Best in the West Football stats [Press Telegram via USC Fanhouse]

James Wilson has decommitted from USC and is now headed to Florida. Wilson, from St. Augustine, Fl., was headed to USC until he had some second thoughts after his week in San Antonio, Texas at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Gotta still be stoked on Kristofer O'Dowd though.

While we've been busy wrapping Christmas presents (we were told we were going to get kicked off the internets if we didn't link to that), USC received an early one -- in a public commitment from Everson Griffen, a 5-star defensive end, with 4.4 speed and 3 nicknames (Big E, Super Freak, and the E-Train).

"I really like the guys they're bringing in next year," said Griffen. "I've gotten to know Chris Gallippo, Marc Tyler, Kris O'Dowd, James Wilson . . . everyone.

"They're great players and good people, so playing with them is going to be a fun experience."

Everson Griffen is USC's fourth 5-star recruit for 2007 and second huge recruit from Arizona. Welcome aboard.

He's only 6'5" and 315 pounds and regarded as the top center in the nation.

Kristofer O'Dowd chose the Trojans over Arizona, UCLA and Tennessee.

O'Dowd becomes the 3rd highly-touted offensive lineman to join USC's 2007 recruiting class. (King) James Wilson is the same size (6'5" / 315) and Martin Coleman is 6'5" and just under 3 bills (at 290).

"I just want to win, so if we come really, really close next year and are a player or two away and go out that summer and grab the pieces that we're missing, then of course I'll come back," Mayo said shortly after arriving on campus for his official visit. "I want to win at every level."
