PrintHT to bruinbunz for linking this in the D Baxter is a liar thread. BSPN "reporter" Schilly Smith writes that DJ Shoemate is leaving *$c to transfer to Connecticut. Following the first 6, this makes lucky number 7 to escape the Titanic.
Shoemate says this is a "business decision", using the transfer option as an opportunity to get to play running back, noting that *$c's depth at that position saw him playing fullback and receiver last season (never mind that he was competing to be starting RB in 2010 ).
Oh, if you only held on another week, DJ, maybe you'd be taking direct snaps.
My favorite quote of his:
"I have much love for the USC," he said.
I wonder if "the USC" is anywhere near the Iraq.

Haha nice!
Well, he would be technically correct if he had used the full form name of his school. But yeah, “the Iraq”! Love it :-)
At least he told the truth about the basis of his decision
So he’s leaving the usc to get a better education, to experience more challenging classes, to engage in more dynamic socratic dialogue with Nobel laureates, to learn at the feet of more scholarly professors.
Right!
Nope, its a business decision. And they wonder why they have players whose parents are on the take or who need payoffs or who use agent’s cars or who set an NCAA record for trans-Atlantic telephone calls.

well at least
he was able to use “the google” and the “internets” to do some research on what was going on over there…i hope you understand the references in this comment or it just sounds dumb haha
Even when announcing the defection of another player, BSPN tries to soften the news.
Shoemate was a Super Prep All-American out of Servite High School in Anaheim, Calif. He is the fourth Trojan to transfer since the sanctions were handed down.
OK, so technically she’s right Seantrel and Marquis never actually became Trogans. But that has a lot to do with the sanctions, how can you not mention it?

List of Trogan defections
Is there a running list posted somewhere of all the Trogan defectors and to what school they’re transferring? Maybe that’s something BN can continually update as more transfers mount. Thanks in advance.
You can always put it together
By looking through our previous posts. Hate to sound like a broken record but no one is paying BN to serve others. So mean it in a nice way. If you think something is worthwhile, do the research and take the initiative. Thanks.
Just didn't want to repost
I was thinking of doing it, but just wanted to see if anyone took the initiative yet. Will work on it this weekend. Thanks.
it is all good
Who knows there might be more added to the list in coming days.

He might have wanted to say "the Trogans" but had doubts about the proper misspelling.
Cut him some slack. ;-)
