What Does USC Do Now That Dylan Raiola Picks Georgia

Five-star QB Dylan Raiola committed to Georgia this morning. Raiola had been projected to commit to the Bulldogs although at one point USC was considered the leader in March. The happiest player to hear this news will be Malachi Nelson, USC’s freshman QB. But after his spring, I doubt Lincoln Riley will feel the same way. What does USC do now? The fanboys will say … Continue reading What Does USC Do Now That Dylan Raiola Picks Georgia

USC Basketball Ranked Higher Than USC Football?

Is someone going to rank USC basketball higher than football in a preseason poll? We’re getting close. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports now has USC ranked 10th in his preseason rankings.
