I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about any USC recruits thinking about jumping ship with Kiffin going and the Bush investigation. Why I bring it up was their is a rumor about a USC linebacker. At this point, it is a rumor. Just wanted to hear if anything is going on out there? The loss of Wilson seems like it had nothing to do with coaches or investigations just being closer to mom.

i guess that LB wasn't Malcolm Smith..

Could that rumor have something to do with a linebacker named Chris Gallippo?

ur just going to get people's hopes up. he was an offensive coach wasn't he? not hating on you just saying i wouldn't expect any big changes. Slippery Pete is in fact very slippery.

Kiffin recruited 3 defensive players including Chris Galippo who rivals gave Kiffin full credit for recruiting, Reardon who Kiffin also got full credit for and Everson Griffen who Kiffin got part credit for. I'm not getting my hopes up, but sometimes when the person recruiting them leaves, they have doubts especially because the person they built a relationship with will not be there. I'm not saying get your hopes up because Galippo has been a commit for so long, but like we said with Trattou, a verbal doesnt mean squat anymore. If any of the above three changed their mind, Id hope ND was all over them. Also Sidell Corley, the FL commit decommitted today, but I dont think we have a shot at him. Looks like he wants to stay in the south, Bama or Auburn most likely.

We probably won't be lucky enough to have those USC kids jump ship and come to ND before NSD, but wow, if we got either Gallippo or Reardon...WOW!!

I don't buy that there is any truth to this but I would love to be wrong and it would so awesome if ND could benefit from the Trattou de-commit and get Gallippo and/or Griffen who BTW would start as freshman.

I am not speaking until I hear from my sources. Namely Rockne, TD or P"dred! However, I wouldn't be surprised!

I feel that James leaving...did having everything to do with the USC fiasco. While the Bush issue is still being investigated, the surface is only beginning to be scratched there. While I cannot remember where I read this fact...I did in fact read an interview from James stating as much. I will never lapse again in this area.

Will the situation at USC be cause for an exodus of recruits? Who knows? But a couple of the guys who verbaled with the Trojans might have people who are genuinely looking out for their well being and may counsuel them to leave for their sake?

And though I feel strongly about my opinion on this particuliar issue, I too am trusting in the word of Rockne, TD, P"dred and SirJohn in matters of inside information. But with respect to my fellow brethren here, and that bro' who represnts the Miami Hurricanes...I listen to you all too!

Looking at some of the other boards, it looks like Jordan Campbell is looking around. Did ND ever have any interest in Jordan??

I seriously doubt SC is going to lose any players, Wilson was a case of a bad fortune for them in the first place. I don't think Kiffin's departure will have any real drawback for recruiting, SC will reload their staff in the same way that they reload that roster.

There are quite a few Griffen to UF rumors, so you never know.

I have a friend who went to the same HS as Gallippo and knows his family. Gallippo has always been a USC die hard fan and is soley dedicated to SC. He isn't going anywhere. He loves SC and it would take an act of God for him to go elsewhere--at least that's what my buddy says.

As far as the other SC guys, I would be shocked if they left but you never know. This year has been crazy as far as recruiting goes. However, other than Griffen or Smith, I don't know if ND was involved with any of the other SC guys?

Go Irish!

there were a lot of Benn to ND rumors too, or for that matter Donald to ND. rumors are nice, but for all purposes, Griffen has verbally come out with SC. Nor is there any logical reason for him to leave, he favored SC out the gate, they are not so far from home, he is a touted member of their class, and his chance to crack the lineup will come when he is ready. I don't see the draw for him to cross the country to join a school that already has a few solid Dlineman, now with Trattou as well.
