As expected, five-star tight end Duce Robinson has committed to USC.
This will be interesting for several reasons:
With Robinson the No. 1 TE in the nation, it means Lincoln Riley will have to throw the ball to the tight end.
The wild card in all this is baseball. What if Robinson gets an outrageous offer from an MLB team? Will he play both sports?
And if he does both sports, will it hinder his football development? That will all be for Riley to figure out.
Is Duce even a first round pick in baseball? I’ve looked at a few mock drafts and haven’t seen his name.

Great, just what USC needs another receiver.
As long as Grinch, Nua and the other idiot Donte Williams have anything to do with the defense I guarantee you that USC will have at least 3 losses every year.
‘Ol Mule Shoe will be extremely lucky if he and his Ladies of Troy finish the season 8-4.

I bet the coaches don’t like these “Announcements” by high-caliber high-schoolers

So it is dandy the offense is coming around but as Ed keeps asking, ‘Defense anybody’
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Trump is basking in the limelight again, I don’t think it bothers him whether it is negative or positive, just so long as people are talking about him. And if he picked up 50-million votes today it still is not enough, I thought about 80-million is what it took to win

With a tight end like that, I’m sure LR will re-do his offense to get the ball to him. I think that the main reason why LR didn’t throw to the tight ends last year is because all he had were blocking tight ends. There are blocking tight ends and there are receiving tight ends. LR had blocking tight ends. Now that he has got one that can be a potent receiver, I’m sure he will use him. Quite often he will use him like he used Drake London. As far as baseball is concerned, I hope he plays for SC. I think SC has a chance to win a NC under Andy Stankowicz.
