USC wide receiver Zachariah Branch will run the 60-meter dash today at the Boston College Eagle Elite Invitational indoor meet. The final takes place at 1:40 p.m. PT. “Honestly, I’ll just call my shot at this point, I don’t see USC keeping (Julian Lewis) in their class,” Loy said. And now for some history: RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK Speaking of 1956, here is what the … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
LeBron James, who sat near USC’s bench last night, shared words with Trojan players during timeouts on multiple occasions at Haas Pavilion. Do you blame him? He doesn’t respect Andy Enfield. He sees the team losing. The staff doesn’t move him. His son probably isn’t making the impact he wants. The big question is whether Bronny comes back, transfers or tries to turn pro. Coming … Continue reading A Telling Scene In Berkeley
I’ve been unimpressed with USC’s No. 18 ranking in recruiting. But have you seen UCLA and Colorado? UCLA is ranked No. 83 by Rivals. Colorado is ranked No. 90. Now they are both ranked this low because they hardly signed anyone. UCLA signed 10 players. Colorado signed 8. But that’s not an excuse! You need more freshmen than that, even if you think the transfer … Continue reading Some Truly Ridiculous Recruiting Classes
The expectations were high when Colorado was going to hire a new defensive coordinator (read below tweet). But I was a bit underwhelmed when the Buffs hired Bengals secondary coach Robert Livingston. Livingston might turn out great but like everything with Colorado, there was so much hype I expected a bigger name or established coordinator. But this move makes sense. Why? Because Deion Sanders likes … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: An Underwhelming Hire
USC signed three players today. Two of the three were 3-stars per Rivals. Like I said, Signing Day in February just isn’t what it used to be. “What happens is when you don’t have the success that you expect, that you can circle that and highlight that, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but it also creates a chip on your shoulder,” … Continue reading USC Notes: Did Signing Day Happen?
This will anger the fanboys but it’s a revealing list. 247 Sports, which is more generous than Rivals when it comes to rankings, has 32 players that earned 5-star status. None of them signed with USC. When you consider how many wide receivers populate this list (eight), you would think Lincoln Riley could land one of them. If Missouri, South Carolina, Texas Tech and Colorado … Continue reading How Many 5-Stars Did USC Land?
