Rumor was that he was a "silent commit"

Shaun Cody's one of the few USC players for whom I actually have a great deal of respect. He's a good guy by all accounts, and I really wish he would have been a Domer.

Shaun Cody had visited us three times, and was all but ready to commit, until Pete Carroll promised him the world, and the Cajun Caveman, Ed Orgeron, worked some magic as well.

That, plus Bob Davie was resting on his laurels...
