When I first started this "Laying the Foundation" series outlining the recruiting efforts of head coach Lane Kiffin, recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron and company on behalf of the USC Trojans, I anticipated only profiling the five and four star prep recruits.
With self-imposed sanctions in full effect, the Trojans' season came to an end after a disappointing double-overtime battle against Arizona this past Saturday in Tucson.
It was a summer day in Los Angeles when it became evident that offensive tackle Christian Westerman was one of the top overall prospects in the country for the 2011 recruiting cycle.
As is to be expected, while I was away doing other things, Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron and company were busy extending offers to prep athletes who could don the cardinal and gold for the 2011 season.
