Q: Our new recruit, JAMES BOYD, seems rated fairly good, but with his weight listed between 210 and 230, and his speed at 4.8, it's hard for me to see where he plays----he thinks DE or LB----if that 4.8 is accurate,
where do the coaches, and yourself, see as his best position at the college level?

A: USC will let him start out at defensive end and see where it goes from there. He needs to get stronger obviously but we're still a year away from his anticipated arrival. USC's tried Michael Morgan at defensive end and he only weighs 213 pounds, so it's not inconceivable Boyd could be a defensive end, it's just a ``big ask'' at his current size.

Q: The following people are known to be on the selection committee for the USC Song Girls: Lori Nelson, Justine Gilman, Tim Tessalone and the Widow Bothwell. So who else, if any, also serve on the selection committee?

Q: Can you give us an update on the status of Trojan draftees and free agents at the pro camps. It is now just about July, and it is time to start hearing who has a shot at the roster and who doesn't.

A: All the guys who were drafted are still with those teams. Drew Radovich is with the Vikings. Matt Spanos was supposed to go the Dolphins although there's been some conflicting reports. Will Collins was with the Jets but I haven't heard if he is still there.
Desmond Reed got cut from a team while Hershel Dennis was still trying to sign with someone. Dale Thompson has decided to quit playing football.
