USC Sunday Buzz: A Trojan Legacy Commits
I almost got fooled yesterday when I saw that USC landed Texas Tech transfer Connor Shouse, who hit .353 with 10 home runs and 66 RBI. Turned out he had committed to South Carolina. USC can’t land a transfer like this, apparently. Where are the power hitters in next year’s lineup, by the way? Paisios Polamalu, the son of former USC safety Troy Polamalu, has … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: A Trojan Legacy Commits

If they … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Let’s Analyze The Schedule

A Less-Than-Stellar Manning Camp Report
When I wrote this morning about Jayden Maiava’s inconsistency, which USC-media types seem to ignore, I didn’t even know there was a critical report of his performance at the recent Manning Passing Academy.

USC Morning Buzz: Most Valuable Player Must Also Be Most Consistent
Jayden Maiava is USC’s most important player this season and a Heisman Tropjhy candidate. He is expected to have a big season.

Does it matter USC lost Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane or are wide receivers simply a spot … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Most Valuable Player Must Also Be Most Consistent
