USC signed six offensive lineman from the Class of 2020. And it has three commitments for 2021. Eight of the nine are three stars according to Rivals.

USC received a commitment from offensive tackle Saia Mapakaitolo, a three-star prospect from Alemany High School. What’s funny is when I mentioned Oregon got four-star lineman Jonah Miller, some people said, “USC signed six linemen (in 2020), they don’t need more.” But USC has commitments from three offensive linemen in 2021, all three-star players.

Since Tim Floyd was a subject of an entertaining article on his first year coaching the Chicago Bulls, I’m going to re-post some stories from USC. Former #USC basketball coach Tim Floyd was a notoriously bad driver. He once left his rental car running during an entire high school game in Bay Area because he was worried he wouldn't know how to start it again … Continue reading More Tim Floyd Stories
You probably already heard, but I still need to comment on this: Actor Lori Loughlin and her husband agreed to plead guilty in the College Admissions Scandal. Loughlin will serve 2 months in jail and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, will serve 5 months. Loughlin will pay a $150,000 fine while Giannulli will pay $250,000. So all that legal wrangling the past year and Loughlin will … Continue reading Aunt Becky Only Got 2 Months?
