USC Morning Buzz: An Underwhelming Hire
The expectations were high when Colorado was going to hire a new defensive coordinator (read below tweet). But I was a bit underwhelmed when the Buffs hired Bengals secondary coach Robert Livingston. Livingston might turn out great but like everything with Colorado, there was so much hype I expected a bigger name or established coordinator. But this move makes sense. Why? Because Deion Sanders likes … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: An Underwhelming Hire
USC Notes: Did Signing Day Happen?
USC signed three players today. Two of the three were 3-stars per Rivals. Like I said, Signing Day in February just isn’t what it used to be. “What happens is when you don’t have the success that you expect, that you can circle that and highlight that, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but it also creates a chip on your shoulder,” … Continue reading USC Notes: Did Signing Day Happen?
How Many 5-Stars Did USC Land?
This will anger the fanboys but it’s a revealing list. 247 Sports, which is more generous than Rivals when it comes to rankings, has 32 players that earned 5-star status. None of them signed with USC. When you consider how many wide receivers populate this list (eight), you would think Lincoln Riley could land one of them. If Missouri, South Carolina, Texas Tech and Colorado … Continue reading How Many 5-Stars Did USC Land?
The Signing Day Class Takes Shape

Thirteen of the 22 recruits are defensive players, including linebacker Jadyn Walker, who officially signed today after originally committing to Michigan State. Five players are offensive linemen. This is probably the more important number because you need linemen in the high school class. You can more easily add defensive … Continue reading The Signing Day Class Takes Shape
USC Morning Buzz: Signing Day Arrives With A Bang/Thud
USC took three-star defensive end Ratumana Bulabalavu yesterday after he originally signed with Washington. Three-star linebacker Jadyn Walker is expected to sign with the Trojans today instead of Michigan State. If it’s Wednesday, it must be a Lincoln Riley Signing Day. Yes, these are exciting times. It used to be a big deal with ESPN camped outside in the middle of the night, waiting for … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Signing Day Arrives With A Bang/Thud
The Crosstown Rivalry Never Takes A Break
Let’s be clear: The performances of USC and UCLA in football and basketball has been embarrassing as the Big Ten move beckons. UCLA fans have rightly been concerned about the football offseason, with the uncertainty regarding Chip Kelly, staff departures and Kelly’s indifferent recruiting. And since I’m probably Lincoln Riley’s most vocal media critic, I think I can mention these things without being accused of … Continue reading The Crosstown Rivalry Never Takes A Break
