UCLA isn't a football school and still somehow puts about the same amount of successful pro's on football field.
RJ Soward, Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett, Leinart, Bush, Jacob Rogers, Keary Colbert, Shaun Cody, that's just off the top of my head. USC Success list is pretty small. (palmer, polamalu, Tatupu, Mike Patterson, and Cassell)
Real true NFL talent producing team is the Canes. That list of stars is unbelievable.
No, we don't.Quote:

I already mentioned all those except Steve Smith. Nice add on tho, he is definitely stepping up for a 2nd rounder.
Ronnie Lott?? You want me to scream Troy Aikman or something? Talking about pretty recent players here.
Best players in the league come from Miami. You named a handful of players and one of them is 40 for gods sake. We were talking more recent but even with your 40 year old included, 1 great Miami team outperforms the last 10 years of USC combined.
Not trying to be a homer here, but some of the best players in the league during their time have come from USC. For instance:Quote:

That's to name a few.
Edit: Was having a hell of a time posting for some reason. And the Lott thing I'm a little overboard about because he was my favorite player.
And yet UCLA has one guy who could be called a star in the NFL: Maurice Jones-Drew.
There isn't really a comparison. To act like USC isn't a factory for NFL talent is just foolish, even for my fellow UCLA fans.
Compare them to UCLA yeah, that's how you make them sound good. Compare them to Miami, Ohio State, Florida State, etc etc. Why would you even compare them to a basketball school?Quote:

You still have Carson Palmer among a field of fairly successful players who may not be all stars, but they're out there. And time will tell on the 09 class. You just simply can't state that USC is full of NFL busts when it's not true.Quote:
