Boogie Ellis and Drew Peterson didn’t make their decisions to return to USC until the next to last and last possible day, respectively. Andy Enfield is entering his tenth season as the Trojans’ head coach and after his first two seasons in which he remade the roster he has not had a “rebuilding” year. If either Ellis or Peterson had opted to stay in the draft this would very likely have been a rebuilding season.
