Despite some heavy rain at times, Sam Darnold’s Pro Day was an unqualified success. For comparison, I felt it was better than Matt Leinart or Matt Barkley’s Pro Day at USC. Leinart was affected by the large crowd at Howard Jones Field that lined up outside the gates to watch his workout. Barkley’s workout was fine but not as impressive as Darnold. Darnold threw around … Continue reading Analysis Of Sam Darnold’s Pro Day
USC tailback Ronald Jones and wide receiver Deontay Burnett did not run the 40 or participate in the morning athletic testing on Cromwell Field. Jones injured his hamstring at the NFL Combine. Jones might participate later this morning. Defensive tackle Josh Fatu had 29 reps on the benchpress, which would have been a top 10 mark at the NFL Combine. Sam Darnold is warming up … Continue reading Ronald Jones Does Not Run 40 At Pro Day

Lockett is important because he provides depth at corner and started a few games in 2016. I don’t remember him being any worse than some of the players who started last season. Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson, a former USC assistant, was at USC to watch practice and … Continue reading USC Notes Of The Day

But Helton’s said he does not think Sears will leave. So is Helton being overconfident or does he not really care because he thinks Daniels is the Golden Child? Continue reading Transfer Talk
You want to know why I’m critical of USC coach Andy Enfield? The final minute of last night’s loss to Western Kentucky was typical of tight games down the stretch during Enfield’s era. Freshman Jordan Usher, a promising player without a doubt, launched two ill-advised 3-point shots. That was a problem when you have senior point guard Jordan McLaughlin to run the offense (what offense?). … Continue reading Some Familiar Issues Surface In NIT Loss
