SANTA ANA, Calif. -- After 29 years as the head football coach at famed Mater Dei High, Bruce Rollinson has seen just about all there is to see. So in September, when his star quarterback, junior J.T. Daniels, asked if he would meet with him and his parents, Rollinson didn't make much of it.
Usually, these types of requests are about playing time, but with Daniels, who committed to USC as a sophomore, that obviously wouldn't be the case. Daniels had the Monarchs off to a 5-0 start and the team was widely considered the best team in the country.
