[vol41212]

What does everyone think?

We'll get to play him the next 2 years

If they like games with scores in the 50's and 60's then USC should be happy with Kevin. And they need to be sure no kids are seated within the first five rows unless they want them to learn a new vocabulary of off color words. Other than the two drawbacks above they will have a good coach for the next four years.

[Mullet Vol]

I wish he would have never left UT. He built the teams Green squandered. Great recruiter and good coach.

I think USC made a good choice.

[utvolpj]

we'd better improve our halfcourt O or his D will kill us

[TennTradition]

Improve our half-court O?

Well, it's better than saying improve on D, I guess.

That is so true it hurts.

Can Someone remind me what happened to O'Neil at UT. Did he leave or was he fired?

[The Dude]

I don't know how it ended but there was mutual hate between he and Doug Dickey. Not sure if he was fired or if he left.

[VolsSportsFan]

He wasn't fired. He left for Northwestern. Ouch.

I'm actually a bit afraid of playing an O'Neil team. It's not like it's far-fetched that UT loses to a team like this.

Given the roster SC is going to have, losing to them would be an embarrassment of Biblical proportions.

You don't think Lil' Romeo's going to light it up?

Not going to happen...

As a team, USC will be somewhere in the middle between Indiana and the 4th place Conference USA team last year.

They are going to be a terrible team this season

The USC game went from being a pretty good game for the RPI 6 months ago, to now being a very bad reflection of our team if it is even close.

[vol41212]

I can't even find an accurate USC roster to post, they've basically lost the majority of their team and their signing class is gone.

I hope Lil Romeo' doesn't quit now that Floyd/Derozen are gone

I think O'Neil will certainly bring talent to USC, but how quickly depends on what the NCAA plans to do with USC.

We wait longer than that, don't we?
