Thanxs Bruddah Mandb, you’re 100% correct. Forgot dat Brunell and Marinovich was in da same class, 1988. Agree Brunell would have been a high 4* whereas Todd would have been a 5*, the #1 QB in nation. Looking back Brunell had a way better college and NFL FB career, not even close. Man, Brunell was a great QB at UDub and NFL.
Dat top RB 1988 was Derek Brown, Servite HS, All CIF signed with Nebraska, earn AA in 1991. For some reason transferred to Florida St and did well. But, there were 2 other top RB’s in 1988. Tommie Smith, Antelope Valley HS, National Player of the Year, ended up at UDub. Funny, Smith became a AA as safety. The other was Russell White, Crespi HS (CIF Champs) who went to Cal and became an AA too. All 3 RB’s USC wanted badly.
In 1988, USC ended up with very good RB in Mazio Royster, Bishop Amat. On da 1988 roster were, Aaron Emanuel, Quartz Hill HS, Leroy Holt, Banning HS, Ricky Ervins, Muir HS, Calvin Holmes, Carson HS and Scott Lockwood, Colorado.
Yep on Kaufman (1990) was a 5 star. Man dat kid was fast and strong as heck. Great athlete. Ripped it at UDub, AA. Played 7 years in NFL, Oakland Raiders and did very well.
