some quotes: Stanford is probably the team that most people look to as far as the best team next year with (Christian) McCaffrey and all the guys they got coming back. But I think there’s enough talent here where USC’s expectations will be to get back to winning the Pac-12 and starting to compete for a national title. You look at Stanford definitely as the first pick to win (the Pac-12) and then I would say you have to go with USC, even with the question mark at quarterback because they have so much talent.”

“I think even in a year that’s considered down, for them, when it comes to California kids, that they’re still such a national brand that they finished with a top-10 class,” Farrell said. “Obviously they have the headliners in (Tyler) Vaughns and (Jack) Jones, and (Michael) Pittman and (Wole) Betiku. But you know there are a few guys that you would normally think would head to USC that didn’t, so they went elsewhere. They went to Florida, they went to Georgia. I think that’s what Pete Carroll had success with the most, was spot recruiting the East Coast and nationally when he built those national championship teams.”


My repsonse:
Stanford lose their 3 year starter Qb and 4 starting OL. I don't think they will be that good next year. Plus they lose their great kicker and cajuste and rector. These are all really good players and huge losses.

Also, helton did the same thing that carroll did. he went way out of state for top talent. Specifically florida and Georgia. We got cook, young, price, angeline, jones, Immatorbebe and malapeai all from far away. These were kids with national top 10 type offers. PC would offer like 20 or 30 guys from the east coast/far away and pull like 5 of them as well. so farrell is wrong when he says that we are not recruiting out state like we use to.
