With all those grad transfers USC is taking, only one made 247’s Top 30 list (Chevez Goodwin is No. 14). USC is still recruiting No. 24, Jalen Coleman-Lands of DePaul. Just how much excitement is there regarding the next basketball season? I don’t see USC in any top 25 rankings and it seems like there is little buzz other than an occassional reference to Evan … Continue reading Just How Good Are Those Basketball Grad Transfers?
USC coach Clay Helton spoke on Thursday about how supportive Mike Bohn has been to him the past few months. And he gave some examples but one stood out: “Whether it’s pouring water on me after the Cal game,” Helton said on AM-570. USC celebrates wins over Cal with water? (Shudder). The Trojans just beat a 5-5 team with its backup QB and are pouring … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

If USC were Iowa or Wisconsin, you would … Continue reading USC Guard Elijah Weaver Enters Transfer Portal

USC will host Stanford at the Galen Center on Sunday, Nov. 29, the day after the USC-Notre Dame game at the Coliseum. Talk about an early start for Pac-12 play. The Trojans will travel to Oregon State on Dec. 5. Here are the teams … Continue reading USC Opens Pac-12 Basketball On Thanksgiving Weekend
USC basketball assistant Chris Capko is speaking via zoom with coaches in Alabama today and the topic is, “player development within the team concept.” Talk about an ironic topic. I have no problem with Capko and I heard him speak to a crowd of USC boosters this season. But no USC assistant has learned anything on this concept from Andy Enfield.
