USC had around 60 players at its Junior Day on Saturday. Clay Helton told the recruits USC has had more first-round draft picks than any other schools. How many under him? Sam Darnold and Adoree Jackson. I hear Johnny Nansen was not at Junior Day. This is odd since he is the recruiting coordinator. Maybe he was interviewing for a job. USC lost to No. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Last Word On Junior Day
I haven’t seen a prominent USC alumnus at the Galen Center this season despite the fact he has had football and basketball season tickets since the 1980’s. So I checked to see if he was OK? “We fired USC,” he said. Unfortunately, this is not exactly unique right now.

Some readers thought he might also coach special teams because he did that at Texas, but I wrote more than two weeks ago Helton wants … Continue reading Craig Naivar Is At Junior Day
USC holds its Junior Day on campus today. I’m sure the 2021 recruits will get a new shtick, especially from all the Texas-centric coaches. But there is a Signing Day next week. Clay Helton and running backs coach Mike Jinks went to Dublin, Ohio, on Wednesday to visit four-star tailback Michael Drennen II. Kentucky and USC are his top two choices but the Wildcats are … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Does USC Really Need Another Tailback Or Tight End?
It looks like USC realized it has a Mater Dei problem as six coaches were there today. But again, will these guys make a recruit spurn Clemson or an SEC school? Or Oregon?
