Sounds like the start of an Urban Legend.   : )

What I read in one of the local papers (SoCal) was that Pete Carroll, 
Norm Chow, and the SC Defensive Coordinator all attended Lucky's last 
playoff game (last Friday night IIRC).  No surprise there, it's not 
like they had to go very far out of their way to do so.  And I can 
guarantee you that it wasn't the first time they had seen him play 
either.

The surprise (to me anyway) was learning that Harrison Beck was 
helping recruit his future classmates (Lucky included).  I had never 
heard of that happening before.  I think that's a recent trend that's 
enabled by the Internet.  Consider this:  Who hasn't seen Leon 
Jackson's video highlights by now?

It's a very different world that it was just 5 years ago, recruiting included.

Thx, Jerry
