If you fall into the camp that believes USC can do no right, this confirms your worst suspicions. Of course, by the pre-enrollment timing of the incident it appears USC will avoid being docked Fulmer Cup points. Sneaky.The details on would-be USC linebacker Maurice Simmons:
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies arrested Simmons and [Lamont Lee] Hall after they allegedly robbed a man at gunpoint on a Compton street.
Authorities said they found a handgun and the belongings of the alleged victim in Simmons' car.
Simmons, a Compton Dominguez High graduate, had been charged with felony robbery, assault with a firearm and a misdemeanor charge of allowing someone to bring a gun into his car. He will be sentenced Aug. 28.
Hilarious no-brainer quote of the day:
Ya think!? Hopefully that involves putting a big red X over his files and declaring "there's the door." USC has had a quiet offseason other than this incident, but it wouldn't be USC without this news and "new" details in the never-ending Reggie Bush saga to put a damper on the preseason buildup.
University administrators will now review Simmons' admission to USC.
