USC Morning Buzz: Catching Up On Transactions

USC has 2/1 odds and a 33 percent chance of making the College Football Playoff, according to BetOnline.

  • USC pitcher Diego Velasquez, who entered the transfer portal last week, has committed to LSU. San Diego State is believed to be the frontrunner for ex-USC pitcher Garren Rizzo.

Could USC land a top pitcher? Hawaii pitcher Isaiah Magdaleno, who had 116 strikeouts in 95.1 innings and a 2.36 ERA, has entered the portal. He went to Crespi High School and USC just hired Hawaii pitching coach Keith Zuniga. Let’s see if USC can pull it off?

  • USC has hired Boston College assistant coach Sam Apuzzo as its new lacrosse coach. She is 28 years old and never been a head coach. She is currently a captain of the 2026 U.S. Women’s National Team that will compete in the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship in Tokyo this summer.

  1. Can’t think of Boston College lacrosse without thinking of Welles Crowther. I hope his bravery & selflessness is not forgotten any time soon.

    Here’s to The Man In The Red Bandana! 🍻

  3. wolfman, this just in!! take a knee whilst i educate the Dummies who hang ’round this blog like delinquents at a bodega!! US News and World Report releases their World University Rankings, wolfman!! the usual SIlver Spooners on top of rankings based 99% on inherited family wealth, Harvard, stanford etc… the Great UCLA was ranked 11th in the world, of course as a public university, this is profound!! of course we know Bruins have been ranked #1 Public U in USA for 8 yrs running, but good to see us recognized on world stage. many pundits have expressed they feel UCLA was under-ranked and should have been in top 3 when you consider quality of life and athletics but that is debate for another day. the silver spooners have always felt more secure behind huge stone walls surrounding their campuses. so sad. speaking of Prison Wall U’s, i searched for SC but gave up after viewing the first 70 or so U’s. sorry wolfman!!

    1. Speaking of hiding behind stone walls — guess what? — there is a thing called “real life” on the other side of the walls of academia. USC grads seem to do real well at it —in fact, USC grads run the City. The best law firms, the biggest accounting firms, the brightest names in Hollywood —all USC grads.

      1. This was funny: “good to see us recognized.”

        Cuz you know darn well she didn’t graduate from SUCLA.

        Even if she had, you’d think she’d appreciate the fact that we, the taxpayers, paid for the bulk of her education.

    2. Chuckster,

      Then why is it that when a reporter asked Toby Baliey, who went to loyola high and played basketball for the great cheater Harrick, what the difference was between high school and ucla with him saying, there was no difference in degree of diffculty, ranked 11? I took classes at that JC school and my JC college courses were tougher. ugly has duped US News. ugly is a joke.

    Besides, Iran will argue that it deserves a fee for the services it renders in ‘maintaining’ the Strait because it is a war-torn country trying to get back on its feet

    DON: 3 losses and you are almost always left out of the Playoffs. The “experts” might figure SC is lucky to get out of its really tough games with 2 losses, and the Trojans often lose one they were expected to win

  9. Scooter,

    This DEI, Woke, Political Crapness is a joke. Who names a girl Sam? Either her real name is Samantha and she wants it as Sam, or her parents named her Sam. Either way, It is a slap in the face to the great Yosemite Sam. Never compare the two. She is out of his league.
