To be honest, I’m a bit underwhelmed by some of the tailbacks USC is recruiting in the transfer portal, at least in relation to the past 2 seasons, when Travis Dye and MarShawn Lloyd were the top backs brought in via the portal. Maybe he’s not the receiver USC wants in the backfield but it seems like Darwin Barlow could have been valuable next season … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: An Underwhelming Transfer Portal (So Far)
QB Cam Ward just visited Miami and is going to visit Florida State next. Maybe Will Howard is USC’s best hope in the portal. Washington is going to host Mississippi State QB Will Rogers this weekend. Given the Huskies’ coaching staff’s ability to develop a QB, this should immediately increase Rogers’ stock. Continue reading Notes: Is Will Howard USC’s Best Bet?
It seems after losing to UC Irvine and Long Beach State, some of the fanboys are finally turning on Andy Enfield. Well, well, well. What took so long? Did they not see that USC has not been well-coached under Enfield? Or that he has a lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament three of the five times he took the Trojans to the … Continue reading Andy Enfield Finally Getting Some Heat

The game won’t offer any preview defensively for next season because D’Anton Lynn will not be coaching, which is a wise decision. Some of the coaches for this game probably will be fired afterward. USC is aggresively recruiting quarterbacks in … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Many Reasons The Next Game (Does Not) Matter
A Pac-12 coach was telling me with the right defensive staff hires, USC might be able to go 10-2 next season. That struck me as wildly optimistic given USC’s schedule next year and the current uncertainty over who is the QB. If it is Will Howard or Cam Ward, expectations increase. But USC still plays LSU, Michigan, Penn State, Washington and Notre Dame next season. … Continue reading USC Notes: Is A 10-2 Record Possible Next Season?
I asked a Pac-12 wide receivers coach to expound on what I said yesterday about UCLA’s cornerbacks being awful, which is relevant because USC needs to hire a secondary coach if it wants to improve the defense. “When I watched UCLA’s tape, I watched their corners and I thought they were awful,” the Pac-12 coach said. “They were terrible. (D’Anton Lynn) has to hire a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Not Everything Should Be Copied
