MATTHEW KREDELL

Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era. After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean, he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills.

Diarra to USC

Fresh off a trip to the Sweet 16, USC added another player to a 2007 recruiting class already ranked No. 2 in the nation by rivals.com. Mamadou Diarra, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound forward from Stoneridge Prep of Simi Valley gave USC an oral commitment Wednesday after a three-day visit to the school, according to Stoneridge managing director Mike Mahoney.

The No. 65-ranked prospect by rivals.com joins a class that already includes prized guard O.J. Mayo, power forward Davon Jefferson and small forwards Leonard Washington and Marcus Simmons. Diarra, originally from Bamako, Mali, in Africa, averaged 8.1 points and 6.4 rebounds as a senior. He chose USC over offers from Oklahoma State, Fresno State, Auburn and Baylor.
