- Here's the video of Nick's press conference today. My favorite quote:
"Being a Trojan is being a Trojan for life and I want to come back and get my degree here and just have a degree under my belt because a degree from USC will be a great thing for me..."'
Also nice to hear him give shout-outs to his teammates and finish with "I love this program".
- Nice Q&A from the WeAreSC staff on Spring Ball. Here's an abridged version:
Q: Which player helped himself the most this Spring?
A: Hershel Dennis (unanimous answer).Q: What was your favorite position battle to watch?
A: Running back and Center position.Q: Name a young underclassman or two who jumped out to you as someone to watch next fall?
A: David Ausberry (most common answer), Stanley Havili (2nd), and Travon Patterson (3rd).Q: Most impressive position unit?
A: Linebacker (unanimous).Q: What thoughts will you take from this Spring Ball session?
A: (GP) - Optimism for the offense.
(GK) - Optimism for the offense/team.
(GY) - How polished this team looks.Answering the questions myself, I would say (1) Hershel Dennis and Travon Patterson helped themselves the most, (2) the RB battle had the makings of being the best battle but due to injuries I will have to pick the Center position, (3) Havili really impressed me, (4) Linebackers easily, and (5) this team is VERY balanced and I'm loving Sark as OC so far.
- The Fox Sports USC page has a nice Ryan Kalil draft video. I hardly ever watched Ryan after the snap because I've always been a skilled player growing up so my eyes naturally gravitate towards the receivers and running backs, but it's nice to see now why Ryan was an All-American at SC ;-). The big uglies don't need any attention...
