Signing Day comes to a close (Defensive Look)

Coach Carroll's Press Conference is up as a podcast. Coach was very high on all of the recruits (of course) but here are some selected things about some of the newest Trojans:

James Boyd: Coach Carroll is amazed at his athleticism (he was the team's QB and is one of the best basketball players in the city) and was very high on him being a good rusher.

Devon Kennard: Great rush end who can cover TE's or play great against the run. I asked Carroll to compare Kennard to Everson Griffin coming out of high school and Carroll said Kennard was more developed and advanced vs. Griffin being more of a raw athlete.

Patrick Hall: Could see him at KR but Coach did not rule out him playing a little offense in addition to being a DB.

TJ McDonald: Prototype safety and a great leader. His dad (Tim) played under Carroll with the 49ers. Got the sense that Coach could tell McDonald could be the next Kevin Ellison.

Jarvis Jones: Great size and athleticism. Coach Carroll was hyping him and Telfort but said that Jones could contribute right away and could even play on the basketball team.

Frankie Telfort: Very fast (sub-4.4) and very smart (football-wise and academically, he wants to be a doctor). First recruit out of Miami for Carroll, who said they have been close to some Miami recruits but finally got a great one in Telfort.

Trojan Power Hour

2-2-09

Today on the Trojan Power Hour we had two great guests: Dan Shonka and Aaron Corp. Dan Shonka is a former NFL Scout and one of the most respected talent evaluaters in the football community. He currently runs a website, www.ourlads.com, which provides draft and personnel analysis. His services used by NFL franchises. Aaron Corp, currently a redshirt freshman, is, as I am sure many of you know, competing for the Trojans' starting quarterback competition with Mitch Mustain and Matt Barkley. 

In between the guests we talked some Super Bowl and then finished our show off with two of our staple segments: The Two Minute Drill and Power Hour Pick 'Em. After one show Zach and I are 3-1, while Jesse is 2-2. 

Next week we will have Ian Kennedy, starting pitcher for the New York Yankees and USC alum, on the show.
