  9. Pendleton had committed to Iowa, but he changed his mind when coach George Raveling transferred to USC. Wanting to follow Raveling, Pendleton expressed his intention to commit to USC instead. The NCAA found him ineligible under the Proposition 48, which was enacted in 1986, and Pendleton had to sit out his first year of college. He then enrolled at USC and played there.
