Just a question for ya Canyon..
How many of those “great” players from SJB or MDHS have excelled at the college level lately? Heck I bet Serra has more pros than either school.
Dang Bruddah you had to ask dat question. OK, you forced me to go work. In all my post, my gripe is not just MD and SJB but Calif as a whole. Dat C.LR has poorly recruited Calif HS players. This list proves Calif is loaded with top FB players. Warning this list is very long and I’m sure many were left out. These are players dat USC did not ink since Sark days as HC. Guaranty C.PC, C.Kiffin would have signed most of them. Even C.Helton did well his first 3 years as HC. So what's C.LR problem?
Even if USC inked 50% of these players, they would have made USC a top 5 team. Freaken sad dat so many of our top players played for other schools...
