Surprising nobody, USC's All-American wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett announced that he will forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft. The 6'5" Jarrett had an especially strong second half of the 2006 season, after healing from a shoulder injury, and set the Pac-10 record for career touchdowns (41 touchdowns in 38 games) while becoming USC's all-time receptions leader with 216 catches for 3,138 yards. He crowned his college career by winning the......

Ah yes. They ALMOST had us there for a minute didn’t they? We almost bought into it. But we should have known better. We had definitely seen this movie before. Sure they were able to tease us with close victories and give us heart attacks for 8 games. But the signs of the Ol’ Bruins that we have known from seasons past started to creep up. The innate ability to make other teams look......

It looks like USC's next coach will be considerably thinner, healthier, and will probably last longer. The LA Daily News is reporting that Tim Floyd has agreed to become the next Head Coach of USC basketball. Provided USC and the New Orleans Hornets can agree on a financial settlement, Floyd will be introduced next week. While this is a school with almost zero basketball history, USC drew interest from some impressive names in its......

This answers the lingering question we all asked about Majerus: "But what about his health?" While Rick Majerus is a brilliant coach, we all knew he was a weird guy. It was a bit suspicious that less than a year after leaving Utah for health reasons, that......

The NCAA dealt a cruel blow to USC's Mike Williams by denying his reinstatement. "It's very cold and insensitive for them to deny him this opportunity," USC Head Coach Pete Carroll said. LAist couldn't agree more. Williams worked his tail off this summer to retain good academic standing, and his entire family went out of their way to return every gift, every receipt, and everything they could find from the agent he initially hired.......

USC football has suffered another black-eye, as running back Hershel Dennis is the focus of a sexual assault case that may involve several other members of the Trojan football squad. USC Head Coach Pete Carroll has suspended Dennis indefinitely. While USC has enough talent to weather pretty much any loss, including Dennis, LAist is still concerned about off-the-field problems with Trojan football. Dennis could be the fifth Trojan arrested since winning the national championship.......

The NBA's worst-kept secret is finally out, and Rudy Tomjanovich will officially become the Head Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. LAist has already commented on Rudy T several times. At this point we recognize he's probably the best coach out there if the Lakers want to feign competitiveness next season, even though he may not be the man who can keep Kobe and Shaq together. One ironic angle that hasn't been mentioned though is......

The Sparks have lost one of their biggest Spark-plugs, as Head Coach Michael Cooper will leave the team to become an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets. Cooper has been offered assistant coaching positions in the NBA before (he was a Lakers assistant from 1994-97), but probably took this one because of swirling rumors that Jeff Bzdelik will be fired in Denver thereby giving Cooper the inside track to the job there. In the......

This may be an extended holiday weekend for most of you, but for the Lakers it will feel like an eternity.

He reportedly is being recruited by Kobe Bryant. While many college coaches have failed......

According to ESPN.com, Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski is in "serious discussions" with the Lakers about their head coaching vacancy. Jim Gray added on SportsCenter that Mitch Kupchak (a North Carolina alum) was in the Tar Heel State today visiting Krzyzewski and has offered him the job. The move is something of a shock. It had been reported for weeks that Rudy Tomjanovich was the front-runner for the job. Today, the LA Times added......
