no i don't care what you think because you're not interested in discussing- you're about bashing and taking shots at berson's son and other players from his club team. my question to you was - why do you care about who berson recruits? maybe your guys weren't interested in USC.



Not interested in discussing? Let me put it to you this way, (see what I did there) you didn't present anything to discuss. I'd be more than happy to have an open discussion with anyone who would like to discuss the different reasons Berson may have made these decisions. Is it political? Are they finicially based? These are questions that I asked and shared my opinions on and because this is an open forum, people have also shared their opinions. You simply responded telling my to stick to clemson soccer.

As far as these kids receiving money to play, I guess we really don't know. I do agree that if these kids are receiving and scholarship money than it makes this even more absurd. If they really aren't receiving any money are these kids still the right choice? I know atleast a number of kids who would have taken a spot on USC with no money rather than receiving a small amount of money from an in-state or out of state private institution. Were there really 0 other more talented kids that would have taken those spots for free (assuming these kids aren't getting any money)?

I'm not simply basing for the sake of it. I feel that there is an injustice and I'm going to voice my opinion about it. This is a Division 1 program, not some U-12 girls teams. These men are now D1 athletes and Berson is a respected D1 coach. Is anyone coddling Spurrier when he makes a bad decision or when Blake Mitchell has a bad game and is attacked by the media? I just don't think it's fair for USC to make these claims that it is looking more at in-state players and offering more spots than in the past, then go and pull this behind the scenes stuff where the four kids with spots all played on his club team.
