Bibby Likes His Recruits

USC Coach Henry Bibby announced this year’s recruiting class and said that he believes their talent level should rank them among the top 10 classes nationally.

Sam Clancy, a 6-7, 240-pound forward from St. Edwards High in Lakewood, Ohio, has been rated in the top 20 nationally by recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons and Los Angeles-based Recruiting USA lists Clancy, the son of former Indianapolis Colt defensive end Sam Clancy Sr., the eighth-best power forward in the country.

The other players the Trojans signed to letters of intent are 6-7 forward David Bluthenthal of Westchester High, and two junior college players: Guard Quincy Wilder and 6-9 forward Brian Scalabrine from Highline College in Des Moines, Wash.
