In a trickle-down effect, it would help us in the long run. Right now USC is battling Auburn for Lache Seastrunk, the #2 RB in the nation. He was listed as 'high' on Auburn a couple of weeks ago but now is 'medium' and has a trip scheduled to USC on 1/15. Other teams like Florida, Bama, LSU and Georgia are going head to head against USC in recruiting every year. If Carroll leaves and they get a brain-dead recruiter out there, look for even more talent to be signing with our SEC foes. If we were in the business of signing 5 star recuits, I think Croom would be a perfect fit at USC. Until we get to that point, I think Saban would be the perfect fit.
