How Does USC Talent Compare To Top Schools?
Below are the schools that received the most ESPN 300 commitments from the recruiting classes of 2017-2019. Hard to believe USC and Clemson are tied. Does coaching make that big of a difference? The other thing that stands out is how none of these teams had losing records . . . except USC and Florida State. Miami was 7-6 and the coach resigned (Mark Richt). … Continue reading How Does USC Talent Compare To Top Schools?

USC baseball just lost to Grand Canyon, 7-3, in the first game of a doubleheader but already lost the series because the Lopes won the first game Friday night. The Trojans are 3-6 and have lost 6 of their past 7 games. They have only played home games. I’ve been hearing for … Continue reading At Least USC Baseball Is Back

One thing I wonder is why Clay Helton even has a pre-spring depth chart? He is notorious for not putting out a public depth chart until the first week of the season.

So why alienate some of your team by … Continue reading Isn’t Spring Practice For Competition?
