Yay YouTube! McKnight Press Conference Available. USC Cheating Seems Obvious. No One Surprised.
I don’t know - the kid and his coach and his parents and Poodle Pete and a billion USC fans are screaming “No, he never talked to him! Not at all!”, which is then followed up with “And everyone else does it too!”. But the video below seems to show it pretty clearly.
The new USC frosh-to-be McKnight talked about how Carroll called Reggie up and had him on speaker phone, and how Reggie explained things and said he didn’t have anything to do with the violations. And then, how that’s what helped McKnight out a lot in making his decision.
Okay, so the kid says 1) Carroll called Reggie and had him on speakerphone 2) Reggie explained to McKnight the situation 3) This helped McKnight make his decision to sign with USC.
What’s to debate here? It’s a freakin’ videotape of the kid talking about the illegal incident. Done deal!
Scroll to the :40 mark if you want to just see his comments. Channel 33 News ain’t so slick.

[...] KICKASS UPDATE: Her Loyal Sons breaks open the case against USC regarding the McKnight/Bush/Carroll phone conference. The video doesn’t lie, People. I can understand one or two issues popping up a year. It’s hard to police everything, but the constant barrage of bad things coming from USC is very suspect to say the least. Even the USC fan base is growing weary of it and is calling for The Poodle to finally reign in the run away train. [...]
great get. We all know the crap that goes on, but this is it. Let them have the mcknights. we will take our boys and build a REAL tradition again. Charlie has it right.
USC has been “cheating” in recruiting for years. As much as I want the NCAA to step in and do something I have little faith they ever will.
Nice find
Andrew,
No. I can’t say why the rule exists. I can only say that Poodle and Co. broke the rule.
So here’s a question: Why are you 3 weeks behind on the news? Just commenting now? Were you in a coma? If so, welcome back. Much has changed while you were gone. But you’re still a tool, so you’ve got that going for you, which is nice.
