Defensive Lineman Spurns USC
Former Tennessee defensive end Tyler Baron committed to Miami over USC. Baron had committed to Mississippi and Louisville this offseason. He had 28 tackles and six sacks last season at Tennessee. Does USC have any faith in its defensive linemen? It has bodies but obviously the coaches think they need some transfers. Continue reading Defensive Lineman Spurns USC
USC Notes: A Massive Task For Basketball
Now that Eric Musselman has completed his roster, you can see why Andy Enfield went to SMU. Enfield knew he was coming off a poor season and was going to have to completely rebuild the roster for a make-or-break year . . . in the Big Ten! No thanks. He’d rather go to SMU for $5 million. The challenge is illustrated in this chart from … Continue reading USC Notes: A Massive Task For Basketball
USC Morning Buzz: Another Concern At The Line
Yesterday, I looked at the offense’s sore spot (the line). Now let’s look at the defense’s weakness: DE/Nate Clifton/Sr./Braylon Shelby, So. NT/Elijah Hughes/So./Kameryn Fountain, Fr.

But with the schedule, it might not be possible. … Continue reading USC Notes: Fans And Oddsmakers Disagree

I mentioned last week my concern about USC’s offensive line. Now here’s how it looks in depth chart form.: LT/Elijah Paige/Fr./Jonah Monheim, Sr. LG/Emmanuel Pregnon/Jr./Gino Quinones, Sr. C/Jonah Monheim/Sr./Micah Banuelos, Fr. RG/Alani Noa/So./Amos Talalele, Fr. RT/Mason Murphy/Jr./ Tobias Raymond, Fr. Now there’s a couple different guys you could throw into the backup roles, but they aren’t more experienced. Outside of Monheim and maybe Paige, who … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Let’s Look At Those Line Concerns
The Boy Wonder On The Move?
Brandon Sosna, who was Mini-Me to Mike Bohn before going to the Detroit Lions, is close to getting a high-ranking front office role with the Washington Commanders, according to Mike Garofalo of the NFL Network. I hope Sosna gets the job because he has been MIA in Detroit. Maybe he will deal with the media in Washington and might actually admit what he knows about … Continue reading The Boy Wonder On The Move?
