    Interesting article. Our guy Barnett gets some great comments there.

    I remember when Marinovich and Brett Johnson were in HS, they got a lot of Publicity as recruits. Of course we all know what happened to Robo QB who actually had a good start to his college career but after growing up in a nutrition lab dictated by his dad couldn't stop smoking weed once he got away from pop. Johnson never lived up to the hype.

    So.Cal always has some great QB's.

    :D

    It was a good article and this is a super year for QBs in SoCal, but I had a few disagreements. The author must be younger than myself, because he said that Rosen throws the greatest deep passes he's ever seen. Rosen is a special talent for sure and he is a fabulous deep threat, but nobody...and I mean NOBODY in SoCal HS football ever threw a better deep ball than Pat Haden when he was at Bishop Amat. He didn't just rewrite the record books in this state, he doubled and tripled them. BTW- I see that after all that malarkey about Rosen going to Stanford, he switched his commitment to UCLA...

    I've seen all of these kids on TV or in person and I still say that Barnett is the best of the bunch. I also rate both Rosen and Barnett higher than St. Bonaventure's Ricky Town, who is alleged to be the best player in the nation. I'm not buying that one and I think the Irish got the right guy...

    BTW-BTW... Ricky Town is going to USC.

    Let's see what we got here:
    Barnett- Notre Dame
    Rosen- UCLA
    Town- USC

    I see three trains headed for one track. This could be fun...
