Many years ago USC got two kids out of New Jersey. One, Mo Layton was a star, the other was not an outstanding high school player but it was a package deal. The second young man’s name, I think, was Charlie Parker but I may be wrong. He was as thin as a rail but played well in his four years at USC. He started his last 2-3 years and was an important player on the team.

About five years ago, I was at a football game and I sat next to Mo Layton and this other man. Mo played in the NBA for a few years but the second man never even tried to play in the NBA. He told me he now lives in Anaheim.

One of these things is not like the other.

USC can give its scholarships to any qualified student it wants. If Tim Floyd decides that blowing a schollie to get a potential game-changing player is worth it, it’s his call to do that – nothing illegal or even dirty about it.

The other story (if it’s true) is in another realm altogether.

Keep in mind, this is a rumor only. Nobody else seems to understand that concept anymore. We aren’t presenting this as fact, but everyone thinks we want to take down Scott and his mother.

But you’re very right, college football recruiting is dirty. This time, though, people decided to talk about it, and I put together all the different comments.

Again, We ARE NOT saying this is true, nor are we trying to hurt Scott or his mother.
