Just reading some of the articles coming out of the West Coast, Kiffin may be captaining a boat that's taking on water fast. Does anyone think guys like Ty Isaac or Eddie Vanderdoes, could be reconsidering UM because of this?
yes plz

This season is an absolute disaster considering their expectations and their QB/WR talent. But they are still probably going to go 7-5 with a difficult schedule(played Oregon, Stanford, good UCLA team, will play ND) and 75 scholarship players in Kiffin's 2nd year. I'm not sold that Kiffin is a good coach and that he won't eventual lead USC to mediocrity, but I don't think this season is causing many recruits to seriously considering bailing.

Young team
Young team
The headline guys are all big names (though Robert Woods has had a bum ankle all year), but there are tons of weaknesses on that roster. They are starting a true freshman at LT and DT. Two freshmen rotate at fullback. Three sophomores start at linebacker by default and the next guy in is a freshman. They lost their starting DE and corner to injury and ineligibility respectively. And Jarvis Jones is ripping QBs heads off at Georgia because SC doctors wouldn't clear him to play.
That being said, plenty of SC fans still want Kiffin out, though Pat Haden just recently said there is zero plan to make a change and that Kiffin is the coach.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!

Disappointed with the Trojans' performance they might be, but the ship isn't taking on much water, at least not for the time being. Per ESPN - link - Pat Haden, the USC AD, has affirmed that Kiffin will return in 2013. I couldn't find any real sources regarding recruitments waivering potentially.

I think, at a minimum, USC will keep him until the sanctions have run their course. That way, wahtever failures and stigma caused by them will attach themselves to his name. The next guy can ride in on a white horse. Why bring in a new coach who's going to have to face the reduced roster crunch?

The real issue a recruit
The real issue a recruit
The real issue a recruit should consider is if Kiffin is actually a good coach that will help you develop, grow, and reach your potential as not only a football player, but as a person as well. I personally think all evidence points to an emphatic NO, but he seems to be doing a great job at convincing kids he can, or just distracting them from the fact that he cannot.

USC always recruits well
USC always recruits well
Since Brady hasn't harvested much from CA (Magnuson) and Ty isn't a target anymore, UM is unaffected by Lane's troubles. ND, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, and UW are beneficiaries. [Raises question of why Brady isn't leveraging his CA history yet.]
On the other hand, new UT coach might push recruiting in KY, OH, VA and ILL with allure of SEC competition - which could marginally affect UM.

The best check on USC's power
The best check on USC's power
The best check on USC's power is a competitive UCLA [think what MSU did with recruiting when UM was down for a few yrs]. USC has had cart blanche in recruiting in the LA area allowing them to cherry pick the best talents in the rest of the country. I never understood why UCLA hasn't been more successful. It's in a much better part of town than USC. If athletes really claim academics are important, it's a better school than USC.
I don't know I guess maybe?
No probably not.
