Thanks to Mike Minihan ( mminihan@er.Arco.COM) for supplying
the information below. 

It seems that 'SC did quite good for a 3-8 team! 

On a Pac-10 note, Washington and Cal are missing
from the lists. No problem, they are both loaded with talent
right now... And yes, 'Stan' does mean Stanford! UCLA seems set
to continue its strong recruiting.

Overall, it seems that some very good tailbacks and fullbacks
committed to 'SC. Of course, Larry Smith will have to play them
and not do what he did with Mazio Royster this year...

Some USC recruits:

QB:

Matt Koffler 6-4, 215, 4.7, Rosemead, CA;  Ranked 36th Nationally:
   Matt is another of the big passing QB's out west and he probably
is a little stronger than others ahead of him. He benches 325 which
is good for a QB and he stands in the pocket real well. Matt threw
for 2336 yards and 21 TD's as a junior. He carries a 3.0 GPA and
should have no trouble with his test scores.

RB:

David Dotson 5-11, 190, 4.45, Moreno Valley View, CA; Ranked 10th Nationally:
   David is another top rated RB in California and he may be as every
bit as coveted as Salaam(Colorado). He is just a half step slower, but
he is also probably just a bit stronger. He hits the hole and his gone.
He is on a pace to break Cal's Russell White's all-time state rushing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
records. Last year alone he gained 2500 yds and scored 30 times.
^^^^^^^
He benches 300 pounds and he is one of the quickest players on the West coast.

Conrad Coleman 5-11, 185, 4.5, Bradley Bourbonnais, IL; Ranked 40th Nationally:
    Conrad has leg drive and burst that has college coaches talking the most.
As a junior, Conrad gained 1600 yards and scored 15 TD's. He as run a 10.7 in
the 100m and benches 270. Conrad has his grades in order with a 4.4 GPA
and a 20 on the ACT.

FB:

Shawn Walters 5-11, 225, 4.6, Arlington Lamar, TX; Ranked 1st Nationally:
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   Shawn is a very talented back who combines power, speed, excellent,
durability, and can run inside or outside effectively. He has an excellent
opportunity to repeat as the most prolific Texas High School running back in
1991, an encore of his 1990 season. He has over 5.000 career rushing yards
with 2202 yards on 311 carries and 29 TD's as a junior and 1881 yards on 273
carriers and 26 TD's through 11 games as a Senior. He combines some breakaway
speed with power.

WR:

Jason Sehorn 6-4, 205, 4.4, (JUCO) Shasta, CA; Ranked 18th Nationally:

Quincy Harrison 6-1, 185, 4.4 Las Vagas, NV; Ranked 24th Nationally:

TE:

John Allred 6-5, 255, 4.5, San Deigo, CA; Ranked 13th Nationally:

DT:

Matt Keneley  Mission Viejo, CA; Ranked 26th Nationally:

NG:

Pat Ahhing Rosemead, CA; Ranked 6th Nationally:
                        
IB:

Gerald Caruthers  Pasadena CC, CA  JUCO; Ranked 19th Nationally:

Greg Tellam    Tucson AZ; Ranked 53rd Nationally:

SS:

Scott Fields 6-3, 200, 4.5 LaPuente, CA; Ranked 9th Nationally:
   Scott is a big SS who has excellent speed. Most of his big numbers in high
school have been put on the board as a RB where he gained 1,497 yards and 
scored 17TD's as a junior. He benches 250 and should be able to get a little
stonger without any problems. Scott carriers a 2.7 GPA and no test score is
available.

FS:

Micah Phillips Dallas Kimball, TX; Ranked 12th Nationally:
   Late last summer, Micah was so impressed with the USC Trojans, that he
gave them a verbal commitment. He is a hard nosed safety who really hits
hard. He had 38 first hits and 57 assists in 1990. He also had 7 INT's
and 10 tackles for losses. He carries a fine 3.2 GPA and scored an 810 on
his SAT.

CB:

Terry Barnum Hargrave Prep, SC; Ranked 29th Nationally:

-----------------------

A typical 'SC recruiting class, some great running backs and safeties as well
as good linemen. As far as I know, they are pretty well stocked at
linebackers.
