If you want to play in the NFL, you are better served playing at SC, not BYU.

BYU has 1 player invited to the combine. Does USC have more?

As for Cassell, doesn't he make my point? At BYU, he might have been a John Beck. At USC, he was lucky to get picked last round of NFL draft. |

However, I think Oneil Chambers catches your vision. The key is that it has been a few years since we can point to one of our stud defenders going onto the NFL.

No. But more than at BYU.
Once you bust out the "let's look at it as a ratio" analysis, you are grasping at straws. Why not this stat, which is equally telling: how many LDS players make it to the NFL from BYU and from USC, as a ratio of LDS players on the roster? I would say that BYU, as a ratio, does a horrible job of pushing its players along to the NFL. But SC, well, Havili will make it for sure. That makes their ratio pretty high!

The reason it doesn't fly is that every big time recruit thinks he's the star of the century. But if you're not a top 50 recruit, you're no big deal at USC and you start at the back of the line with a ton of highly recruited guys ahead of you and more being recruited every year you're there. |

Cassel's checkbook is doing just fine. The mere fact that he was on SC's team gave him the chance to be drafted. If he was on BYU's roster but never played, he would be selling phones at a mall kiosk right now (incidentally, that Staley reference will never get old).

The former cougars were all acquitted.
