What kind of domino effect may this have on recruiting? Any?
Hard to know for sure, but I'd suspect that just about every one of their recruits is now looking at his options. At the very least, they'll all want to know who the new guy is going to be. If there are wholesale changes made to the staff, it could be disastrous for USC. Jeez, that would be too bad.
I'd feel better about our chances at getting a few of these players if Hawkins weren't in such a precarious position himself. It's not like these kids want to go into another situation where the coaching staff is in question.
