USC basketball players Bennie Boatwright and Chimezi Metu were both named in the recently leaked FBI document with payments from ASM agents. Boatwright is out for the season already with a patella injury suffered a week ago vs Oregon. Cannot find any info on the fate of Metu. Metu is USCs current leading scorer and put up 21 vs Colorado in their most-recent game. Gotta believe USC will sit Metu until until they have a chance to sort this out.
