USC Sunday Buzz: Looks Like USC Needs Tight Ends in 2019 Too
I mentioned yesterday USC’s offered scholarships to 33 wide receivers from the Class of 2019 and 2020. By comparison, USC’s offered 34 offensive linemen.

USC has three weekend visitors: Five-star cornerback Chris Steele and four-star tight end Jude Wolfe of St. John Bosco along with four-star defensive tackle Siaki Ika of Salt Lake City.

Good Thing Chimezie Metu Skipped NIT

Did his stock slip because he sat out the NIT? Of course not. Did he let his teammates down?
