Trovon Reed was on Trojans Live last night and said this about recruiting:
"I think now it's too much about the money. I think some kids pass up on great opportunities to get an extra $20,000, right? And in reality we trying to get you $20 million from the NFL in the first round. So I think if parents and young men actually sit down and break this thing down, they would go back to old tactics -- go back to the school that you fall in love with and let the money be the money. Because if you do that, one, you'll be happy and no money can buy happiness. And you'll be around some people who actually care about you -- whether you catch a pick or you get burned for a touchdown, they'll still love you. Because nowadays with the money involved it's hard to go back to that at some programs. But here, you walk in here, it's all love from everyone -- from the players, to the coaches to the staff, it's love everywhere. So I can't see why a kid wouldn't want to come here if they step foot in this building."
Going through all of it right now.
We also get to talk to all the assistants next Wednesday (a week from tomorrow). They haven't been available to us all spring.
