Well let's look at how our top 5 recruiting class has fared since signing.
Recently, Defensive Back recruit Arkee Smith was denied admission. Smith then appealed the initial denial by USC, but the appeal was denied also. Off to JC for him. This sprung the "flap."
That means USC lost 5 signees, 4 to academics (Antonio Allen, Eric Baker, Michael Bowman and Smith). The fifth, Mat Williams, simply decided to give up football.
Last I heard, USC is awaiting word on the academic status of a 6th recruit, DB Akeem Auguste.
Also 2 juniors have left the team (h/t: cocknfire): OG Matt Raysor and LB Dakota Walker. Raysor was a backup which sux b/c we need lots of help up front and Walker was a 3rd stringer but still showed some nice ability in the past.
USC is expecting to have 2007 non-qualifiers RB Eric Baker and DB Antonio Allen as part of their 2008 recruiting class.
No wonder Spurrier is not so happy with the USC Admissions Office.
