I keep wondering how USC’s other coaches like it when Donte Williams gets all the credit for the recruiting class? Williams probably deserves most of the plaudits. But if it is true, what did Todd Orlando or Vic So’oto do? I thought So’oto was supposed to be a budding Ed Orgeron but he didn’t produce much in this recruiting class. What about Korey Foreman, you … Continue reading Can Someone Else Recruit Besides Donte Williams?
USC incoming freshman Korey Foreman says he is going to wear No. 0. It became a legal number last season. Since it is USC, the question isn’t who will wear zero but how many players will wear it at the same time? USC lets recruits dictate the numbers they wear, which creates a lot of double numbers. Last season, 25 players wore the same number. … Continue reading USC Facing Number Crunch?
OK, time for an announcement. I am supplementing the Inside USC blog coverage with a USC newsletter. The newsletter is for the more hard-core readers who want to know stuff that is going on behind-the-scenes and less general in tone/purpose. Instead of explaining it, I would rather you read the first entry, which concerns coaching friction. Just click here. Meanwhile, here is a rendering from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Time For An Announcement

Catalina, which was owned by William Wrigley, had its own private security at the time. One day, Benny wanted to use the facilities. A warden said no and started giving Lefebvre a hard time. They … Continue reading A Few More Stories On A Legendary Team
ESPN’s SP+ rankings are out and the analytics-based poll has USC at No. 17 for next season. Isn’t it funny that you can take all the analytics and still come out with the same safe, generic ranking for USC that the Top 25 polls will probably come out with this summer? It’s almost as if the analytics include that USC is a marquee program. The … Continue reading USC Is A Safe No. 17 In Early Poll
How ironic is it that USC might produce back-to-back first-round draft picks at offensive tackle in spite of itself? No one would be surprised if Alijah Vera-Tucker joined Austin Jackson as a first-round draft pick. But the question would be why didn’t USC do more with the duo as college players? USC was 13-13 in 2018-19 when it had Jackson/Vera-Tucker together to make an impact. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Offensive Line Had Chance To Produce
