Reggie Bush to Announce Plans Thursday

By JOHN NADEL, AP Sports Writer Wed Jan 11, 657 PM ET

LOS ANGELES - Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush will announce Thursday whether he'll return to Southern California for his senior season or enter the NFL draft.


He has kept a low profile since USC lost to Texas 41-38 for the national championship in the Rose Bowl game Jan. 4. Underclassmen have until Sunday to apply for the April 29-30 draft.

Bush is to make his announcement in the morning on campus. He has been projected for months as the No. 1 overall pick, and it will be surprising if he returns to the Trojans.

Texas quarterback Vince Young inserted himself into the mix Sunday, declaring for the draft four days after his amazing performance in the Rose Bowl.

After winning his Heisman in 2004, USC's Matt Leinart decided to return to school for his final year of eligibility although he almost surely would have been one of the top players in the draft.

But as a quarterback, Leinart was in a far different situation. Running backs are such a target, with even the best at risk every time they carry the ball. On average, standout running backs have far shorter professional careers than top quarterbacks.

If Bush does decide to return to school, he could join Ohio State running back Archie Griffin as the only two-time winners of the Heisman. Griffin won the award in 1974-75.

Fellow USC tailback LenDale White, who represented the "Thunder" to Bush's "Lightning" for the Trojans, announced Wednesday in his hometown of Denver that he will skip his senior season to enter the draft. White leaves having scored a school-record 57 touchdowns in his career.

Bush rushed for 3,169 yards and White 3,159, helping the Trojans go 37-2 the past three seasons. The two combined for 99 career touchdowns, breaking the
NCAA record of 97 set by Army's Glenn Davis and Felix "Doc" Blanchard from 1943-46.

USC had won 34 straight games before losing to Texas
To be completely honest John, with all due respect to the other posters here I don't think they really give a toss about Reggie Bush or Domanick Davis for that!!
But I do!! wink

If Bush enters the draft then I would be very suprised if they didn't select him, for even as good as Davis has been theyre not going to pass up Bush. The only other thing is if they trade either before or after he's been selected for extra draft picks, but I think theyll select him and let him fight it out with Davis or trade one of them. What with David Carr and Bush now they've had two top first round picks!! in only a few years wink
Okay, Granted Carr was the first pick from their expansion year roll
Ive posted NFL things before and i believe your right, there are not many posters here who follow american football ,thats fine to each his own .;-)
I think its got something to do with how long a person has resided here .

I still have soccer as my main spectator sport true love but as there wasnt and stlil isnt much of it in the media here over the years ive picked up on american football and now it runs a close second .

I do keep up with the the lastest regarding my footty team *chelsea * but my knowledge of much outside the top premier teams or international play is sadly lacking hense my bad showing in the fantasy leagues .
