Everyone knows keeping Kedon Slovis healthy will be the challenge this season for USC. Even Clay Helton acknowledged it Wednesday. “We’re a 55-to-60-percent pass team,” Helton said. “Pass protection is going to be key in that and being able to keep Kedon upright.

In the USC newsletter, I name the frontrunner to replace former USC assistant coach Jason Hart. As expected, five-star Kijani Wright of Windward and now Sierra Canyon committed to USC today. Meanwhile, Su’a Cravens has joined USC in an unspecified role for pre-game and post-game shows at football games this season.

But maybe the coaches thought this would … Continue reading Dept. Of Suspicious Timing: USC Adds A Wide Receiver Commitment
This is an only at USC story right here about wide receiver recruiting. And speaking of wide receivers, some at USC have already warned me that perhaps the top prize this year, Tetairoa McMillan of Servite, could end up at Arizona. That would be four wide receivers going elsewhere if he doesn’t choose USC on August 16. Continue reading USC Wide Receiver Recruitment Remains In Spotlight
