From: FightOn To: TomC 01/14/09 @ 12:38pm	According to LA Daily News Pinkard received 6th yr. Pete Carroll said Pinkard will return to USC along with Mays and Gable. Let's hope Sanchez returns as well.
From: FightOn To: Joe or anyone else 01/14/09 @ 12:47pm	Does anyone know exactly who redshirted out of the freshman class? I know Perry and McNeil did and pretty sure Butler, Horton, and Baucham, but not sure about Kalil, Holmes, and Smith. The rest of the class I saw in games.
From: Justafan To: FightOn 01/15/09 @ 8:51am	In response to your question, I believe Kalil and Holmes redshirted and Smith did not. I believe, Meyer and McNeil also redshirted. Shane Horton had to redshirt (transfer rules). I suspect that Joe will update after LOI day (just speculation) and we will find out for sure then.
From: georgetirebiter To: Joe 01/15/09 @ 6:07pm	Any chance for an update before LOI day. Especially coaches. I don't see Darrell Rideauz listed as a GA. I was wondering who the two would be this year.
From: Justafan To: Joe 01/16/09 @ 10:17am	Scott Schraeder just disclosed that Matt Meyer contacted him and told him that his latest foot surgery went well, but not well enough to play football again. He will keep his scholarship and get his degree, but will not be part of the football team or be counted towards the 85 scholarships. He should be removed.
From: Justafan To: Joe 01/18/09 @ 7:39pm	Keving Greene just committed.
From: FightOn To: Justafan 01/20/09 @ 7:02am	Thanks for the reply. I knew Shane Horton redshirted due to transfer rules, but what about his brother Wes Horton?
From: Justafan To: FightOn 01/20/09 @ 10:44am	I believe Wes Horton redshirted, but I am far from sure. We will know better when the update is done (I speculate early February).
From: Justafan To: Joe 01/27/09 @ 8:52am	Devon Kennard just committed.
From: Joe To: Justafan 02/01/09 @ 1:12pm	FYI, I was going through past comments and am finally addressing your 11/30/08 note re "star updates." I did the following based on Scout's current ratings: Pressley 5 stars (increased from 4 stars to 5 stars) Graf 5 stars (left at 4 stars) Metcalf 4 stars (left at 3 stars) Burfict 5 stars (increased from 4 stars to 5 stars) Boyd 4 stars (increased from 3 stars to 4 stars) On Graf and Metcalf, I'm not sure if the star rating changed between 11/30 and now, but Scout definitely has them at 4 and 3 stars at the moment. Thanks, Joe
From: FightOn To: Joe 02/02/09 @ 3:25pm	Thanks for the update! Didn't Nick Perry and Allen Bradford both redshirt last season? As always thanks for all the work you put into updating the site! Thanks. They did. Now fixed.
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/02/09 @ 4:41pm	You inferred correctly. Scout did lower Graf and Metcalf recently. Thanks for the entire update.
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/02/09 @ 4:46pm	McCoy and Parsons should be listed as returning starters. Thanks.
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/02/09 @ 4:47pm	Tupou and Williams should be listed as returning starters as well. Thanks.
From: globaltrojan To: joe 02/03/09 @ 10:22pm	wrong picture for Torin (CB from Las Vegas)? Thank you, but are you sure? The photo I have of Torin Harris isn't the best, but it looks like the same player as in Rivals for example. I think our photo is a tight crop from a photo taken at last year's Rising Stars Camp. Ours: Rivals: 2/6/09 Update: See below. You are correct sir. Thanks.
From: johnny trojan To: 02/05/09 @ 9:42pm	Please take Yogi Roth off the coaching list. thanx
From: Justafan To: Joe and globaltrojan 02/05/09 @ 7:55am	I tend to agree with Joe about the pictures. The major difference seems to be that the sun is shining on his face in the Rivals picture, but not in "ours."
From: FightOn To: 02/05/09 @ 12:22pm	The photo labeld "Ours:" looks a lot like Cliff Harris to me. I stand corrected. I just found the uncropped photo in my archive and, while his hand is blocking his first name in this particular photo and I can only see his last name on his shirt, "Harris," in another photo of the very same player, I can read "Cliff Harris". Crap. I'll fix it soon. Thanks.
From: sc55nd24 To: Joe 02/05/09 @ 2:55pm	You do a great job. Org chart should show Bates and Norton in staff role (dotted line to Pete) and Mo and Rocky in line role (hard line to Pete). Yogi gone. Thanks.
From: hoohoolianFUCLA To: Joe 02/06/09 @ 9:45am	College Football News is showing these four a going with USC: Jarvis Jones DE 6-3 220 Columbus, GA Byron Moore DB 6-0 187 Harbor City, CA Jawanza Starling DB 6-2 195 Tallahassee, FL Frankie Telfort LB 5-11 205 Miami, FL However, they do not list Burfict, Carroll or Jeffrey. Thanks for all you do!
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/09/09 @ 7:13am	When you update for recruits, you should eliminate the: "If granted and he returns" from Pinkard. It was granted and apparently he is returning.
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/11/09 @ 5:29pm	Apparently, Trey Henderson's football career is over due to problems with his knees.
From: OGmoney To: EE 02/18/09 @ 6:48pm	How we coming on the updated rollover depth chart??? thx!
From: cjs85 To: joe 02/19/09 @ 1:36pm	roll over depth chart should show Stephenson as a returning "starter" at long snapper
From: sc55nd24 To: Joe 02/24/09 @ 6:41pm	Is an update anywhere in our future??? Best!
From: sbooth44 To: EE 02/26/09 @ 9:37am	Would you remove Burflict, Carroll, and Jeffrey from the depth chart... They do NOT deserve to be on there! Thanks...
From: Trojan horse To: joe 03/07/09 @ 12:14pm	oops New org chart?
From: ogmoney To: joe/trojan horse 03/10/09 @ 9:55pm	sure! I'd love to see one. :)
From: Justafan To: Joe 03/10/09 @ 6:47pm	Armstead has been moved to SDE.
From: Justafan To: Joe 03/11/09 @ 7:15pm	Simmons, Harris and Spicer have been moved to DT.
From: Justafan To: Joe 03/13/09 @ 1:48pm	I believe Trey Henderson retired from football after his second knee surgery.
From: Justafan To: Joe 03/14/09 @ 8:00pm	According to GarryP: Reardon moved to TE. Butler is now #19.
From: Justafan To: Joe 03/14/09 @ 8:02pm	According to GarrP: Mcaffery is now #6.
From: Scott To: any 03/16/09 @ 8:58am	Please Update ASAP... Thanks...
From: ogmoney To: website host 03/20/09 @ 11:04am	WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE UPDATED DEPTH CHART PRIOR TO SPRING BALL!!! THANKS!!!
From: ogmoney To: joe 03/30/09 @ 7:57pm	is this site no longer active? just checking, cuz I know a lot of people love this link.
From: Utefan To: host 03/31/09 @ 7:17am	Great site. Love it. Love keeping track on USC thru your site. Waiting for an update. Thanks for your work!
From: sc55nd24 To: GarryP 04/09/09 @ 4:13pm	What's up...I'll update the depth chart if you want!! Two months later...wow!!
From: Joe To: All 04/10/09 @ 4:34pm	Finally updated... Sorry so long. Joe.
From: MIke To: Joe 04/11/09 @ 1:38pm	Thank you for doing this! I really appreciate your effort. I think B Moore may be coming in as a corner.
From: Hoohoolian FUCLA To: Joe 04/11/09 @ 6:41pm	Thanks, as always, for your work!
From: weaktinkler To: 04/12/09 @ 9:05am	marquis simmons is comming in as a wlb or slb, not a mlb thanks
From: Justafan To: Joe 04/12/09 @ 2:03pm	From what I have read, Marshall has been playing CB. Also, Moore is coming in as a CB. I am not sure, but I thought that Parsons, Coleman and Herring were injured and not practicing. I disagree with some of the offensive line alignments, but, as you said, it is fluid. I doubt it is worth worrying about OL details at this point. It can be updated after the Spring when a little more is known.
From: Justafan To: Joe 04/12/09 @ 3:58pm	You should remove the math ("85-66=19") under "Scholarship Players" in the "By Class" section.
From: JAMESONE To: Joe 04/19/09 @ 2:44pm	Herring-injury issues-TE- now. fight on!
From: PDRocks To: Joe 04/22/09 @ 10:11pm	A few updates to consider: Malcolm Jones to CB Byron Moore at CB Casey maybe starter over Tupou Will Harris at free safety and returning starter I think Khaled Holmes has been at LG and would put Byers as starter there
From: PV19 To: Joe 04/24/09 @ 11:55am	Drew McAllister is a Free Safety and behind TM. Marshall Jones is now a Corner.
From: Justafan To: Joe 04/24/09 @ 4:12pm	GarryP posted the new depth chart released by Carroll. You should reconcile it with yours when you get a chance.
From: Lou To: Host 04/27/09 @ 10:04am	What a great site! If I'm not mistaken, I think De'Von Flournoy is from Birmingham HS, not Cathedral HS.
From: Justafan To: Joe 04/27/09 @ 3:49pm	Parsons has a broken hand. He should be marked as injured.
From: MGF Trojan To: Joe 04/29/09 @ 1:32pm	Joe - please update the rollover depth chart! It is a great tool.
From: OG$ To: Joe 05/13/09 @ 9:09am	Looking forward to the end-of-Spring updated depth chart! Thanks!
From: OG$ To: Joe 05/26/09 @ 8:46am	How are we coming on the end of spring depth chart? Looking forward to seeing it!!!
From: Justafan To: Joe 08/05/09 @ 4:44pm	The new depth chart has been released.
From: Justafan To: Joe 08/07/09 @ 5:21pm	Thanks for the update. In your next pass, you need to remove Chris Metcalf from the Class section. Also, there are walk-ons missing (I forget who). You're welcome. I didn't try to do the walk-ons yet, but will soon. I'll resolve Chris Metcalf asap. Joe.
From: hoohoolianFUCLA To: Joe 08/09/09 @ 9:25pm	I'm grateful for your efforts to keep us informed. Thank you for your work!
From: Justafan To: Joe 08/10/09 @ 1:39pm	Herring took a medical redshirt. Noted. Thanks.
From: Joe To: Justafan 08/11/09 @ 10:36am	Thanks for your help. Your 8/5 post mentions a depth chart being released as of that date, but I cannot locate anything official as of 8/5/09. Can you provide me with a link?
From: Scott To: Host 08/21/09 @ 10:28am	Freshman Patrick Hall is out for the season with a torn ACL. DE Armstead is out for a few weeks with a broken bone in his leg.
From: Justafan To: Joe 08/25/09 @ 6:08pm	Someone on the wearesc staff stated that it was released and posted it. It was awhile ago and I do not see it any longer.
From: hoohoolianFUCLA To: Joe 09/01/09 @ 9:09pm	Wow, is there some shuffling to be done on REV 04! Let's hope the team can stay strong!
From: Scott To: Host 09/01/09 @ 11:15am	WR Ronald Johnson is out until November with a broken collar bone. CB Shareece Wright is ineligible for the entire 2009 season because he did not meet his academic requirements.
From: Scott To: Host 09/01/09 @ 11:22am	Do the Trojans have a chronic achilles heal? It seems to me like the Trojans always have a lack of quality cornerback depth. I hope the young corners are ready.
From: Scott To: any 09/02/09 @ 1:25pm	The #2 overall Rivals prospect and 5 Star WR Kyle Prater just verbally committed to the Trojans. Prater is in the mold of former USC wide receivers Keyshawn Johnson, Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett, and Patrick Turner.
From: Scott To: Host 09/04/09 @ 10:04am	LB Luther Brown has been cleared to play tomorrow vs San Jose State.
From: hoohoolianFUCLA To: Joe 09/06/09 @ 7:21am	I just tried to post info on Ahmed Mokhtar and nothing showed. Can one not copy/paste here?
From: hoohoolianFUCLA To: Joe 09/06/09 @ 7:24am	Ahmed Mokhtar #34 RB Hometown LAGUNA BEACH, CA Height 6-0 Weight 210 lbs. Class Junior Mater Dei HS Mokhtar signed with Oregon State out of high school, but transferred and played last season at Orange Coast College. At OCC, he earned enough credits which allowed him to transfer to USC this year without having to sit out or lose any eligibility. He will have three years remaining to play. (OC Register, Monday, August 10, 2009) Added (belatedly). Thanks for the OC Register text! Joe
From: mac.com1 To: Joe 09/07/09 @ 6:23am	Joe, since the season has started and the OU game is pending, will you have a chance to update the depth chart before the game next Saturday? Thanks, Mac-
From: Iron Mike To: Joe 09/07/09 @ 9:16am	I know from speaking with Daniel Harper's mom on Saturday that his number was changed from 25 to 22 late last week. Ditto on the request for an update before Ohio St. game.
From: JC To: Host 09/12/09 @ 8:53am	We're now two weeks into the season ... is the latest Depth Chart current and up to date?
From: SCLarry To: host 09/14/09 @ 12:29pm	Who 'da snapper? #84 is listed as Joe Gibson, a WR WO. I doubt the heck out of that. Has Stephenson changed his # from 85 to 84? Who is #10 on the kick-off and the punt return teams? Shoemate or Jones? Saw a #0 on one of the special teams vs. the Suckeyes. Who might that be? Kick-off return team had a #43. Is that a new frosh WO? Also on the KO return team was a #46. Cumming or Calcagnie? Both are WOs.
From: hoohoolianFUCLA To: Joe 09/24/09 @ 4:12pm	So now that the season is over, what's new for next year? I am so tired of wearing the choke collar.
From: Scott To: hoohoolian 10/02/09 @ 9:34am	I am not a big fan of playing for less than first place either, so I do understand "the season is over" comment. CFB is the only sport, that I know of, that does not have a true championship competition. However, USC can still win a cfb poll championship by: 1) Winning the rest of their games 2) Ohio State winning the rest of their games 3) A Texas Loss 4) A Boise State Loss 5) Another Virginia Tech Loss The SEC winner will be the opponent, of course.
From: Scott To: Host 10/07/09 @ 12:01pm	Armstead is clear to play. Please update.
From: Scott To: Host 10/07/09 @ 12:02pm	RoJo is clear to play. Please update.
From: Tim To: Host 10/12/09 @ 6:50am	This was the best depth chart available for the last several years and I would always have a copy of one in front of me while watching the games. I must say it has been a disappointment to not have an updated version for so long. Could someone explain why no updated versions. Will one be available again??
From: ogmoney To: HOST 10/15/09 @ 11:07am	I agree with the last post. This is something I always look at, but it is NEVER updated. I mean NEVER! Should we just stop looking here? Or will this ever be updated again? As it takes a lot of time to update I'm sure, why not just make sure it is updated on these 7 important dates: day after signing day, prior to spring ball, post spring ball, prior to summer camp, prior to 1st game, prior to 1st conference game, prior to bowl game
From: Tim To: Host 10/16/09 @ 11:10pm	Old habits die hard. Thought I'd look one last time for an updated chart prior to heading out very early this morning for the game in South Bend. Denied again!! Could the host just post when and/or whether this will be updated again so I can stop torturing myself by looking?
From: ogmoney To: host 10/19/09 @ 4:51pm	More torture. Still no update, eh? any chance you can update this - or just take this down so we all stop torturing ourselves by checking on a daily basis for updates?
From: Kerry To: Joe 10/25/09 @ 9:20am	Is Joe Gibson still playing for USC Football ? If not what happened ?
From: Go Reggie Go To: Joe 11/14/09 @ 10:26am	Have loved your site since Day 1. Please keep it going. There is no other board or website that provides the great USC depth chart info you do. Fight on.
From: Hoohoolian FUCLA To: anyone 11/14/09 @ 12:58pm	Who is John Manoogian?
From: Hoohoolian FUCLA To: Tim, og and everyone. 11/28/09 @ 9:55am	I suspect Joe has lost interest in providing us with the great service he has given us, much like or defense. I certainly hope Joe is well and that it is a lack of interest as opposed to some other issues that keep him from updating this wonderful site. Thanks, Joe, for all the years of updates and great depth charts. Fight On and let's crush the Bruins today!
From: Max To: Joe 02/04/10 @ 4:03am	Hey, has this site moved elsewhere? Or has it gone under? If it's dormant, I'd like to pitch in and help make it. Let me know. maxdel.rey (at gmail (dot com.
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/09/10 @ 1:59am	Welcome back. I missed the updates. Thanks! Sorry so long.
From: Justafan To: Joe 02/09/10 @ 2:05am	The "Class" section needs to be corrected. There are 22 juniors and 80 total scholarship players. It is a simple addition mistake. Fixed.
From: clinchfield carolina To: Joe 02/09/10 @ 10:33am	In case you did not notice, Jeff Byers is still on the special teams roster. Once again, welcome back, Joe. We all need you and what you do for us. Thank You, Sir!! Fixed it. Thanks!
From: T$ To: Joe 02/10/10 @ 3:57pm	Brennan Carroll is still the TE coach, WEARESC just said that he is leaving. I moved him to the departed coaches page, but will keep an eye out for confirmation from other sources.
From: cjs85 To: Joe 02/11/10 @ 1:50pm	Dan Deckas and Robert Erickson both accepted their graduating trophies this year and will not be returning. Sean Calcagnie was dropped from the team before the start of the 2009 season. Fixed. Thanks.
From: Tom To: Joe 02/15/10 @ 10:15am	Thanks for all the hard work. We all really appreciate it.
From: Hoohoolian FUCLA To: Joe 02/15/10 @ 3:10pm	Welcome back. Thanks for everything!
From: Tim To: Joe 02/15/10 @ 8:35pm	Thank your so much for the updated version! This is by far the best chart available and I know it must be very hard to put together. Please know your efforts are appreciated.
From: CJS85 To: Joe 02/16/10 @ 9:01am	As it pertains to the depth chart for specialists. C.Putnam was dropped from the team over two years ago. Last time he suited up was in the 2007/08 season. Thanks. Fixed.
From: John To: Joe 02/16/10 @ 10:36am	Here are some more players who recorded starts for USC last year: TE - Rhett Ellison - Started on 12/26/09 vs Boston College TE - Blake Ayles - Started on 10/31/09 vs Oregon OT - Matt Kalil - Started on 12/26/09 vs Boston College RB - Allen Bradford - Started on 12/26/09 vs Boston College LB - Jordan Campbell - Started on 9/26/09 vs Washington State Thanks much!. I noted the change of status for everybody in your list, except for Blake Ayles. The University's grid of starters from the Emerald Bowl Guide says that Ellison was the starting TE versus Oregon. Maybe it's wrong. Where did you get your info? Joe
From: Dickerson To: Joe 02/19/10 @ 9:56am	I went back through the log and I can't find any legend info. What do the colors mean? I can figure out some from the names in the positions and I assume their meaning. But could you add a legend to the PDF?
From: Dickerson To: Joe 02/19/10 @ 10:00am	Never mind, I just saw one snap shot and it didn't include the legend. I went back and found it. Thanks for the great work!!!
From: 3/9/10 WeAreSC Post by Garry To: 03/09/10 @ 8:28pm	Martin Coleman tidbit ------------ Coleman said that he has been cleared to take part in spring ball and he says he is the healthiest he has been in his three years at USC. Martin said the coaches have him at the guard spot for now and he can't wait to get on the field to finally show what he can do. For the record, Coleman says he has three years of eligibility remaining since he took a medical redshirt year and a regular redshirt year.
From: 3/10/10 RipsIt Blog To: 03/10/10 @ 6:22pm	The new coaching staff hasn't seen their players practice or play in person, but they can tell enough from the game film. And because of that, two Trojans are making position switches heading into Spring Practice 2010. Senior Jordan Cameron is moving from wideout to tight end, while redshirt freshman Simione Vehikite has been switched from fullback to linebacker. The new positions shouldn't be all that new for either player though, as Cameron has played some tight end during his two previous seasons at USC, while Vehikite was a standout linebacker along with fullback in high school.
