I’m pretty tired of seeing stories about next year’s NFL Draft and Caleb Williams. What matters is how many games USC wins this season. Not when Williams gets drafted. He played 21 games out of 33 his lone season at USC and averaged 9.5 points per game. My verdict: No. Not enough time. And never established a connection with the fans, university.

Duce Robinson went undrafted in the Major League Baseball draft today. That means he should play football and baseball at USC. The fact he wasn’t drafted shows teams were probably unwilling to invest much in him with football taking so much of his time. But it’s a good thing for Andy Stankiewicz.

Four-star cornerback Zabien Brown of Mater Dei High School committed to Alabama on Sunday over USC and Ohio State. I guess he didn’t believe Donte Williams was the clearest path to the NFL. Alabama cornerbacks coach Travaris Robinson was defensive coordinator at South Carolina and also coached at Auburn and Florida. So he’s a real coach. He was also a safety at Auburn and made … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Alabama Still Factor In Southern California

The Major League Baseball draft begins today and the question for USC fans is whether tight end Duce Robinson gets selected. Or maybe more importantly, whether a team works out a deal with Robinson so he can play both sports. Robinson wants to play football and baseball. But just how high his baseball stock is remains to be seen. A year ago it seemed sky … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: So Many Questions For Duce Robinson
