USC Morning Buzz: It’s Signing Day*

It’s Signing Day! Cornerback Rodrick Pleasant of Serra High School in Gardena will announce around 10:30 a.m. PT. It seems to be a USC-Oregon battle. Four-star tight end Walker Lyons, who originally committed to Stanford but changed his mind after David Shaw resigned, will sign his letter at 4 p.m. PT. Lyons broke his leg in August. He is considering USC, Georgia, Utah and maybe … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: It’s Signing Day*

He was an intense subject of fanboy media interest and visited USC last spring. He has run the 100 meters in 10.22 seconds despite being … Continue reading Another 5-Star Who Fell Off USC Map

USC Morning Buzz: Top Cornerback Nears Decision

Four-star cornerback Rodrick Pleasant of Serra High School in Gardena will make his college choice at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. There was a time when a Serra player just about automatically went to USC. One has to wonder if Pleasant would have any reservations about Donte Williams and the development of cornerbacks at USC? Five-star Domani Jackson didn’t exactly make an impact his freshman season. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Top Cornerback Nears Decision
