Almost full circle: Redd transfers to USC.

Silas Redd sent his fax in, and USC officially announced that Silas Redd is a Trojan.

Let's turn back the clock to two Summers ago, shall we?

• "USChadenfreude:Boohoohaha."  "Celebrations of USC’s impending NCAA sanctions, evidence that justice reckoned can taste as sweet as victory." - Notre Dame Magazine
• "Conversations with USC went back and forth. They were trying to convince me USC still was a good place to go. You can say what want, but the facts are the facts." - Seantrel Henderson
• "Kiffin should be more worried about what now looks to be is lying, conniving and selling snake oil to recruits rather than leaking news about getting "livid" at the NCAA." - SB's BruinsNation

Indeed, Notre Dame, schadenfreude is exactly right.  The circle is nearly complete, and USC, still under sanctions, has grabbed former Rivals 2010 #44 player Silas Redd from Penn State, in free agency, and is looking to make a run for the National Championship.

And imagine the irony of Seantrel Henderson's request to be released from his LOI to USC, then end up at Miami, suspended for a game, having lost his starter position, and staring down the barrel of a NCAA decision that may be shortly forthcoming.

By the way Bruins, you haven't benefited one bit by USC sanctions, and you have a new head coach yet again.  Lane Kiffin is assuredly not preoccupied by your concerns.  Your trash-talking can be filtered down to nothing more than rank jealousy.

Hell yeah, it's been a great off-season for Trojans.  Now the hardest part comes: preparation and work to win every game.  Once every game has been won, USC will have fully completed that circle.

Fight On.
