Just to follow-up on this morning’s post where I noted how coaches do not want to compete.
One reason Lincoln Riley took the USC job was because he did not want to go to the SEC with Oklahoma. And he took the USC job before the Trojans moved to the Big Ten. So he gets no credit for playing a Big Ten schedule.
He also tried to get out of the LSU game last year but Fox refused. So spare me any defenses of Riley regarding competing or playing Notre Dame.
- Lindenwood transfer guard Jadis Jones has committed to USC. He averaged 15.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game last season.
So I see at least four guards (Rodney Rice, Alijah Arenas, Jalen Cox, Jones) who probably think they are scorers for USC. That’s going to be quite a balancing act for Eric Musselman.
- Former USC safety Will Harris has been promoted to secondary coach at the University of Miami.
