"We just have a bunch of news flying, people on Twitter just throwing stuff left and right without facts or really information to back it up. That's what we expect, so it doesn't really bother us."
USC defensive lineman Christian Rector echoed Pittman's sentiments, saying he believes those on the outside think they know more than they do about the stability within USC's program.
"I just think it's noise," Rector told ESPN. "It happens every year. It's just how college sports is. The L.A. fair-weather fans expect perfection. We could have a 10-win season and there would still be something wrong with the team. We had one off season and it's the end of the world.
"Coach Helton is a great coach, a great guy. The players still love him, and people don't really have that insider scoop that they think they do and they know what's going on."
"I'm sick of people talking on Twitter, I'm sick of seeing it, I'm sick of hearing it," Pittman said. "I am the most motivated in college football right now."
Though Helton has received confidence from his athletic director over the past few months, the coach admitted Wednesday he has yet to have a single one-on-one conversation with new USC president Carol Folt, who began her role on January 1
Quarterback scramble?
Earlier this month, smoke billowed from The Ford Center where Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei five-star quarterback Bryce Young was participating in The Opening Finals. Rumors of an impending de-commitment by Young from USC swirled in Frisco, Texas. Young nonchalantly dismissed those rumors, stating that USC was where his “heart was at” and that he did not want to re-open the recruiting process before the start of his senior season.
Fast forward almost a month later and the smoke has not yet cleared. Young explained that — out of respect — he remains in communication with schools like Oklahoma and Alabama. It would seem coming off of his official visit to USC in June, Alabama specifically got the impression he was not happy with his commitment to the Trojans.
We heard it then and we’re hearing it now. Sources close to USC are not expecting an imminent de-commitment from Young.
And yet again, we’re hearing that Daniel really wanted to come back and play for USC but has been black-balled by a weird confluence of naysayers working against him that did not include, we’re told, Clay Helton. And that as we’ve reported here, the prime player in Daniel not being able to play has been AD Lynn Swann, in a contentious back-and-forth over whether Daniel should have to take a medical retirement and relinquish his football scholarship.
We’re told that Daniel has contemplated telling his side of the story, but ultimately does not want to burn any bridges, at least while he is still finishing his master’s degree.
Orgy the Fuck On.
Petersen at three and counting. We? could get there
