I’ve said if USC makes a coaching change after the season, it can go after recruits who committed elsewhere. But how many will it need to chase? Cornerback Elias Ricks and defensive tackle Jordan Berry committed to LSU.

Alabama finally named Steve Sarkisian as offensive coordinator. Nick Saban better keep a tight leash there. Meanwhile, Tee Martin was named Tennessee wide receivers coach,  with additional titles of assistant head coach and passing game coordinator.
