So apparently Pete Carrol’s ‘tight ship’ has a few more leaks. Or, allegedly has a few more leaks. Just like the Illinois buzz (how do you get these guys when you win 3 games a year, have horrid facilities and a terrible head coach?), there’s often fire where there’s smoke. And there’s been a ton of smoke coming out of South Central LA lately. I can see it from my office window right now.

Or that could just be the alleged smog…but probably not.

ESPN article: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/news/story?id=2759650

USC is figuring out a way to cover up looking into potential NCAA infractions that may have occurred during the recruiting of RB Joe McKnight.

In his press conference, McKnight mentioned a phone conversation he participated in with Reggie Bush and Poodle Pete, ostensibly to talk about potential sanctions associated with Bush’s acceptance of money and gifts while a USC Trojan. Okay, alleged acceptance.

Isn’t this getting ludicrous? USC is in the cross-hairs for the improprieties of Bush and his family while a Trojan, so the program wants to calm down a recruit who’s concerned about sanctions. So what do they do? They put the kid on the phone with Bush, which is illegal and sanction-able.

These guys are geniuses.

Sooner or later, Pete’s shady behavior…allegedly shady behavior…is going to catch up with him and his program, and these kids will be the ones paying for it. Better watch out Pete, this is the kind of thing that can raise some eyebrows. Just ask Zon Rook.
