USC’s first home game means a lot of recruits will be invited to the Fresno State. But we hear one prominent local recruit was dismayed because he invited by a low-level staffer and not a coach, which is custom for the bigger recruits. If you go to the USC bookstore, you might have trouble getting a No. 18 jersey (JT Daniels). The bookstore ordered them … Continue reading USC Notes: Back To Recruiting
