It appears the University of Southern California won't be a destination for East Aurora's Ryan Boatright after all.
A published report in the Long Beach Press-Telegram today said the school and new basketball coach Kevin O'Neill are not interested in recruiting the junior point guard who made national headlines at age 13 when he committed to former USC coach Tim Floyd.
After this coaching change this past spring, Boatright re-opened his recruitment.
The report said, "sources said USC has amde no contac with the 5-foot-10 point gaurd from Aurora, Ill., since Floyd left and is not interested in signing him to a letter of intent.
"Current USC basketball coach Kevin O'Neill attended at least one summer tournament Boatright's club team played in but apparently was not impressed enough to recruit him."
Plenty of other suitors are, though, family members recently told the Beacon News, with DePaul, Kansas State and Kentucky among them.
