USC Notes: Texas A&M Becoming Rival

In the notes below, there’s a trend. Two linebacker recruits have chosen Texas A&M over USC this week while a Trojan catcher has committed to A&M.

  • Bronny James signed a four-year contract with the Lakers worth $7.9 million, according to Shams Charania. Last year’s 55th pick, Isaiah Wong, signed a two-way deal between $600,000-700,000.
  • UCLA is making the theme of the USC game at the Rose Bowl a “blue out.”
  • Four-star linebacker Marco Jones of Danville, Calif., has committed to Texas A&M. He picked the Aggies over USC, Michigan and Texas. He is the second linebacker from California this week to commit to A&M. The first was Noah Mikhail.
  • Alabama pitcher Jackson Baker has committed to USC. Meanwhile, USC catcher Jacob Galloway has committed to Texas A&M.

  1. Well good luck in College Station-TX – Jimbo’s contract largest buy out ever and ‘Mike Elko’? We’ll do well – but hey Scott no mention of what I tried repeatedly to get you to post what Fox News quoted Bronny James about how USC didn’t use him properly – it was telling.

    1. From California to College Station, TX. They are in for quite the cultural shock. And A&M, in spite of the millions of dollars of donations every year, rarely puts together a successful football program. About two top 5 finishes in the last 50 years. Coaches are repeatedly fired and new ones brought in and they are fired. Expect to see these guys in the transfer portal in under two years.

      1. Couldn’t agree more….It should not be a surprise if one of the factors that is moving these prisoners to decline USC’s offer might be their inability to handle the spotlight they suddenly realize shall be shone on them in the largest media mkg in all of college football….it’s LA. Some revel in it and some…… ‘…goin’ home to momma!’

    2. If you wanted to pick a FB program with a culture the opposite of SC it would be A&M with its military school culture, tech programs, and literally everybody in student body participates in FB games with card stunts, etc. Did anyone ever consider that? Great pick for players.

  2. This occurred at upscale Fashion Island in Newport Beach. I lived in Newport Beach … there’s a heavy police presence there. But they can’t be everywhere at once. There’s a permissiveness of crime on the part of American politicians and prosecutors nowadays that emboldens would-be criminals. So sorry for this 68-year-old woman tourist from New Zealand and her family.

  3. Point of reference, TAM’s academic endowment is $13 billion which is more than double of USC’s. So TAM should have more to spend on NIL and they don’t spend money on all the woke causes that USC does.

    1. Back at you, CR, and everyone else.

      A sad Independence Day. We’re a country without a real President. Still only speculating at who is really running the country. 81M (supposedly) voted for this.

      Only a matter of time until they admit what a failure this experiment was and he drops out.

        Admit failure? I think you’ve seen there are “some” who will not admit the obvious….

    2. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, 

      “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

      We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. . .”

      1. Beautiful words, Plow Horse. The DNC is fighting to dilute their meaning with its insistence on counting mail-in ballots without sufficient protocols for signature verification. The fact so many precincts reported Biden ballots far in excess of registered voters is not exactly a recipe for ensuring the “consent of the governed.”

    1. That’s a nice thought. But Biden voters have put us in an unprecedented position.

      You can try to minimize it all you like, but the situation couldn’t be more dire. At the debate, Joe demonstrated what smart people already knew…that he is not all there and could not possibly be running the country. He is merely following instructions.

      Many of the people who were dumb enough to vote for this are admitting how wrong they were and saying if Joe remains the nominee, they will not vote for anyone. Those of us who actually love the country will not remain silent about the con job that has been pulled on the entire country.

      Put the blame where it belongs!! On the people who voted for dementia, incompetence & weakness.

        this is not about reflecting Biden, it’s about saving democracy and keeping Trump out of the WH.

  11. So it is in the interest of ‘Big-10′ football to have a successful SC, the Trojans’ football-heritage being the reason they were yanked into the conference in the first place despite Troy being ‘not so good’ except in spots throughout the last generation
