This is the time when Lincoln Riley is watching USC film over and over, at least when he isn’t offering recruits scholarships or monitoring the transfer portal. And I’ve heard whispers inside the McKay Center that linebackers are a constant subject as the coaches wonder how to improve the corps for next season. It’s quite a conundrum unless some more linebackers enter the portal. This … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Happened To Linebacker U.?

Florida Atlantic sounds … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Graham Harrell Update

Terrell Bynum, a former St. John Bosco wide receiver, who played at Washington the past three seasons is transferring to USC. Bynum was Pac-12 honorable mention last season and caught 26 passes for 436 yards and four TDs. I wouldn’t call this a game-changer. But USC lost Drake London and the never-used K.D. Nixon. Plus who knows what’s up with Bru McCoy? Oh, and Joseph … Continue reading USC Lands Transfer Portal Receiver
