Suddenly, The Word “Develop” Is Important At USC
Lincoln Riley made some comments that stood out on Signing Day. “They will develop here at USC. With this staff, it’s not a matter of if. It is going to happen.” What players has USC developed?

Maybe he means … Continue reading Suddenly, The Word “Develop” Is Important At USC
USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley Isn’t A Special Prep Recruiter
Admit it, if Lincoln Riley sat in the Coliseum in his introductory press conference 2 years ago and said, “I promise after 2 seasons to deliver a high school recruiting class ranked No. 17 by 247 and No. 20 by Rivals,” fans would be howling.

Korey Foreman Enters Transfer Portal
I have to say I’ve been waiting for this. Another five-star departs. After three seasons, Korey Foreman is entering the transfer portal. What took so long? Two coaching staffs could not get a tune out of Foreman and it’s obvious he needed a fresh start. He was ranked one of the top 5 players in the nation by recruiting services but never became that player … Continue reading Korey Foreman Enters Transfer Portal
