New defensive coordinator Todd Orlando has been visiting local high schools with secondary coach Greg Burns. Does this mean Orlando is keeping Burns? I know two of the candidates for the job wanted to bring in their defensive assistants and Burns was putting out feelers last week for jobs. So either Orlando is keeping him or USC is waiting until Signing Day. But USC is … Continue reading How Much Juice Does Todd Orlando Have?
Someone at USC told a couple days ago the Trojans had a recruit with zero offers on campus. It seemed a little hard to believe. USC might have the worst recruiting class in the Pac-12 but it’s still signing mostly three-star players.

The question is whether USC will actually throw to the tight end? And how often Graham … Continue reading USC Closes In On Recruit
Korey Foreman, the No. 1 player from California for 2021, committed to Clemson on Sunday night. Bryce Young, the No. 1 player from California for 2020, signed with Alabama. Kayvon Thibodeaux, the No. 1 player from California for 2019, signed with Oregon. What’s worse is these guys were from Corona Centennial, Mater Dei and Oaks Christian, respectively. USC should be able to get whoever it … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC’s Losing Elite High Schools
