We are decently deep in OL for now and loaded with TE's.

Our 12 kids yesterday, did you see the Star Count? We have to say quality over quantity cause SC has no choice.

Glad to see we are still relevant to be talked about.

P.S. We return a bunch of kids off last years team and a new DC who understands the concept of a blitz, why you think SC won't be competitive, that's puzzles me. I get depth is an issue, but we bring back a lot. The QB development will be the biggest mystery of all.

Not sure how competitive they'll be for quite some time.  They really need a new coach.

I would say that usc fans are probably pretty happy right now. If we get vanderdoes there might be more police calls than usual in the great area surrounding their campus.

OL Commits since CLK took over, not sure if all of these guys are still around, but here is what $C signed: 

2010 - 1
2011 - 6
2012 - 4
2013 - 2

Bottom line is, you guys have good players, but what we've known all along since the sanctions came down, is that scholarship restrictions were going to hurt your depth in the future.  The future, meaning last season and this coming season, because you slow-burned by getting the bowl bans out of the way while appealing, thus turning an incredibly painful 3 year process into a back-loaded 5 year process.  Injuries and competitive practices make or break a team's NC run, and that is your team's big problem right now.  Add to that, you have a terrific recruiting head coach, but his player development has been less than stellar, and he has alienated himself from the media who will surely hound him until they fire him at some point within the next 12 months. 

To be fair, ND got a bit lucky this year from an OL and DB depth standpoint.  But player development came through well enough to show us tremendous growth in year 3 in spite of that.
