USC Will Not Host Olympic Swimming
Do you remember that dumb idea to build a swim stadium on top of Dedeaux Field for the 2028 Olympics? Well, forget about it. The swimming events are being moved to SoFi Stadium, which will have 38,000 seats and 125 suites. Officially, the reason for switching the venue is because USC is building a new Dedeaux Field.

Did it hurt … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Decommitments Hurt!

After Day 1 at the Elite 11 QB showcase at Mira Costa High School, USC commit Julian Lewis is ranked No. 5.

USC Loses Five-Star Justus Terry: Impact and Fallout
The other shoe dropped for USC today when five-star defensive tackle Justus Terry decommitted. Now I don’t really like crediting or blaming assistant coaches too much over commitments. But what about the fanboy media? They have literally put USC defensive line coach Eric Henderson on a pedestal since he arrived and then turned him into a rock star when Terry and defensive end Isaiah Gibson committed in … Continue reading USC Loses Five-Star Justus Terry: Impact and Fallout
