USC’s raid on UCLA continues as Bruins cornerback John Humphrey just committed to the Trojans. UCLA fans are probably fed up with D’Anton Lynn. Now a caveat: Two Pac-12 coaches tell me the UCLA cornerbacks in general were awful last season. But USC needs corners and Humphrey is tall (6-2). So Lincoln Riley said yesterday he will develop players. But in the meantime, USC will … Continue reading The UCLA To USC Pipeline Continues
Former UCLA safety Kamari Ramsey has committed to USC. This was expected ever since USC hired D’Anton Lynn. I have to do some research before I make any judgements on Ramsey, whom 247 lists as the No. 1 safety in the transfer portal. If you want to tell me, he is better than anyone USC has, than I’m inclined to believe it. But . . … Continue reading UCLA Safety Kamari Ramsey To USC
Lincoln Riley made some comments that stood out on Signing Day. “They will develop here at USC. With this staff, it’s not a matter of if. It is going to happen.” What players has USC developed? Have any receivers developed? Tailbacks? Offensive linemen? Cornerbacks? Linebackers? This is the guy who turned USC into “Transfer Portal U.” and he’s talking about developing players?

Once again, this Signing Day demonstrated Riley’s not the greatest high school recruiter. For some reason, some fans still try … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley Isn’t A Special Prep Recruiter
Cornerback DeCarlos Nicholson of Mississppi State committed to USC. He has appeared in 25 career games with seven starts. Apparently, Mississippi State is the key to USC’s success because Bulldogs tailback Jo’quavious Marks also committed. He averaged 63 yards a game and I’m not sold yet on how big an impact he will make. Nicholson had 42 tackles and no interceptions in 12 games. His … Continue reading USC Becomes Mississippi State West
Four-star wide receiver Ryan Pellum had been committed to USC since June and was considered one of the prizes of the current recruiting class. But the Long Beach Millikan student stunned some at his signing ceremony today when he flipped to Oregon. Even his brother, Millikan coach Romeo Pellum, said he just found this afternoon that Pellum. It’s one thing to lose a lineman or a … Continue reading Star Receiver Flips To Oregon
