Some people applauded earlier this week when former USC safety Talanoa Hufanga said he wasn’t working out at an elite gym for Pro Day but doing one-on-workouts with Troy Polamalu to help with the mental aspects of football. Maybe he should have hired a trainer since he did only 12 reps on the benchpress. No one else is going to mention this, however. The good … Continue reading Unconventional Approach To Pro Day
I will be completely honest here: I have no idea what article the excerpt below is from and don’t really care. It’s basically a coach looking at USC basketball through its shortcomings. I’m sure the same coach could say a lot of complimentary things if asked for that too. But I never get why USC seems to immediately go into “score-settling mode” as soon as … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Nothing Like Some Score-Settling Before Sweet 16
The biggest impression at Pro Day was the appearance of Raiders general manager Mike Mayock and offensive line coach Tom Cable. They were watching Alijah Vera-Tucker and the Raiders have the 17th pick. Mayock used to come to USC and hold court as an NFL Network analyst before he went to the Raiders.

Alijah Vera-Tucker 36 Jay Tufele … Continue reading USC Pro Day Marks
USC will hold its Pro Day at 8 a.m. on the NFL Network. The most intriguing prospect to me isn’t even draft eligible. I’ve heard Kedon Slovis wants to throw to his former receivers. If it happens, it will be interesting to see how he looks since injuring his shoulder at the conclusion of the Oregon game. Then again, would USC let him throw if … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Pro Day Might Be Interesting
USC is increasing tuition again. Here’s an announcement from Provost Charles F. Zukoski: “After careful consideration, the USC Board of Trustees has approved a 2 percent tuition increase for the 2021-2022 academic year, the lowest year-over-year increment since 1967 and in line with inflation.” This tuition increase has to gall students, who just paid full tuition (including an increase) in 2020-21 for a year of … Continue reading USC Increases Tuition (Again)
