Still No News from USC--(November 19, 1997)

We just checked with USC to see if they have received any National Letters of Intent yet, since the early signing period closes today at midnight. According to Sports Information Director Tim Tessalone (or someone doing a good impression of him on the phone) USC expects to receive some letters "later today." As of 3:00 pm, however, they had not received any.

While SC could not comment under NCAA rules, it's widely anticipated that they will receive letters from Brian Scalabrine (6'-9" PF/C, Des Moines (WA) Highline JC), Rahim Johnson (6'-4" SG Troy Redemption High, NY), Sam Clancy (6'-7" PF, Edwards High, Cleveland), and David Bluthenthal (6'-7" PF, Los Angeles Westchester), all of whom (with the exception of Bluthenthal) reportedly committed verbally some months ago. Bluthenthal has told Mike Miller that he "will sign".

We should know either later today, or first thing tomorrow.
