USC Morning Buzz: Let’s Check The Tale Of The Tape

The three-star party has given USC a set of linemen for the Class of 2023 and people are already complimenting them over their size.

OG Micah Banuelos (6-2.5, 305)

OG Alani Noa (6-4, 330)

OT Tobias Raymond (6-7, 250)

OT Amos Talalele (6-4, 330)

  • Let’s remember a few days ago I ran the list of Alabama’s offensive line commitments:

OT Wilkin Formby (6-7, 300)

OT Olaus Alinen (6-6, 325)

IOL Miles McVay (6-6, 350)

IOL Ryqueze McElderry (6-3, 345)

IOL Raymond Pulido (6-6, 335)

The other difference? All the Alabama commits are four-stars, not three-stars.

  • You know who did not dress Tuesday at USC practice? Defensive end Solomon Tuliaupupu. He also missed at least one practice last week and maybe more because it doesn’t get announced.

Remember this is his fifth season and he has yet to be healthy enough to play in a game.

  • USC running backs coach Kiel McDonald explained how he will choose which tailbacks play.

“Things [have been] clear from the beginning; the best players are going to play,” he said. “So you’ve gotten your shot to show us what you can do. And we’re going to make sure that we slot the guys who bring it.”

    1. Or maybe we can hire an anti-Alabama insider who can slip diet pills into their food and into those giant Alabama bellies, and bring them down a size or 2.

      3. Long story, but…

        I had a similar event to Lucy’s in Switzerland 20+ years ago. Everywhere we went we saw the ads for “raclette.”
        “We have raclette.” “try raclette.” So, we had to try it.

        The diffident, impersonal Swiss waiter brings over the plate of meats and breads. Then he brings this huge, hot machine over and puts the huge cheese wheel next to it. The lovely Swiss cheese starts dripping and we put delightful breads and meats under the dripping cheese and enjoy.

        Problem is, we Yanquis were the only one’s enjoying Raclette at the time and I had no one to learn from. The cheese starts dripping faster than we can eat it, but I keep scooping it up and gorging on it as I didn’t want it to drip all over the table. Just like Lucy, I’m eating the molten cheese as fast as I can…

        Eventually my wife and I fail and a glob of cheese is forming on the table. The diffident waiter provided no extra plates. With a slow chaos growing, the waiter–who was not busy at all–saunters over and pulls the “cheese heater” (looks like a hair blow-dryer) away from the massive cheese wheel.

        “Voila,” he implies, without saying a word.
        Would have been nice to know in advance…

        Otherwise, my trip through Svizerra was fantastic.

    3. MG: Maybe we can bring back that Maximus Gibbs guy and swap him with Tobias. What happened to Gibbs. Any info on him from the “inside USC” blog.

      Love some of the Alabama O line names – Ryqueze McElderry.

  2. All these guys are high 3-stars (Raymond 86.89).

    “A high three-star (87-89): is considered a player with significant NFL upside who expect to be an impact college football player.”

      1. Jon Wilner notes that Tobias is up to 270 lbs, (not 250) and has “a lot of room to grow”. Much of the ratings for o-linemen are based on weight and height. Rivals and 24-7 don’t spend a ton of time studying blocking techniques.

  3. Lincoln Riley’s going to need a year to prove himself that he’s going to play physical football up front, before he gets the 4&5 star offensive linemen to commit. And if that happens, the linemen in this class will eventually transfer to schools in the Mountain West Conference, Cal Lutheran, or Chapman College where they belong.

    2. Just Rent,

      When the Rose Bowl kicks out the squatters, err.. the ugly football team for non-payment, where do you think they will play? Will they play at drake stadium? Naw, that is too large for attendance. I say that they play at Centinel Field, in Inglewood. It is a high school stadium. It is still too large, but the rent is cheaper.

    1. Just Rent,

      Why would I worry about the grass being cut at ugly? The 80 yard field is too short to worry about grass cutting. Besides, the way it is going at ugly, they will cut football like they did at Cal St. Long Beach and Cal St. Fullerton. Then ugly can have all the lesbo, homo, body changer protests on the former field. Did I forget to say you can have all the Angela Davis and commie rallies as well?

      Anything goes on this board. But knowing you, you will cry to the CA Bums Orgainzation and complain that people are picking on u.

      1. Peace through weakness was never going to work. Those of us with any sense knew that.

        Yes, Trump is an ass and a bully. But he was OUR bully and other leaders knew better than to mess with him. Putin & Jinping were loving it when Dementia Joe was “declared” the winner.

        So much blood already on the hands of Biden voters and there’s about to be more.

      2. SLO CAL: “Peace through weakness was never going to work. Those of us with any sense knew that.”

        If China, as Trump claims, intentionally unleashed covid on our nation, we need to know why Trump he has impotently failed to respond after this attack, which was far worse than 9/11. And conversely, if Trump is lying, as we all know, this is not just a typical Trump lie, but one of his most vile acts of a weak coward.

        It’s a despicable insult to all the families who have lost loved ones to the virus. In either case, Trump has failed our nation in dealing with china

        Actually, Putin & Jinping loved it when trump was “declared” the winner. They both played trump like a fiddle. Wake up!!!!… Cherry-picking context to fit your pathetic agenda is a sign of YOUR weakness.

Reality check: If Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice was working hand-in-hand with Democrats in a partisan, politicized pursuit of a Democratic agenda, as people like yourself would like to believe, the DOJ would not have sought a search warrant at this stage of the midterm campaigns.
