USC Morning Buzz: Forget About NFL Futures
I’m pretty tired of seeing stories about next year’s NFL Draft and Caleb Williams. What matters is how many games USC wins this season. Not when Williams gets drafted. Who is a Trojan? Here’s one to ponder: Is Kevin Porter of the Houston Rockets a Trojan? He played 21 games out of 33 his lone season at USC and averaged 9.5 points per game. My … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Forget About NFL Futures
Duce Robinson Goes Undrafted
Duce Robinson went undrafted in the Major League Baseball draft today. That means he should play football and baseball at USC. The fact he wasn’t drafted shows teams were probably unwilling to invest much in him with football taking so much of his time. But it’s a good thing for Andy Stankiewicz. If Robinson is as good as his hype, there’s no question he should … Continue reading Duce Robinson Goes Undrafted

He came to USC thinking a high-profile program would raise his draft prospects and for the NIL money. He also figured he would start at cornerback since he … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Transfers Don’t Always Get What They Want
Duce Robinson Not Drafted . . . Yet
Duce Robinson was not selected in the first 10 rounds of the Major League Baseball Draft. The draft goes 20 rounds so there is plenty of time for Robinson to get drafted. Every pick in Rounds 11-20 comes with a $125,000 slot value, and every dollar in excess of that counts against the bonus pool. But if a team wants Robinson, it will take him. … Continue reading Duce Robinson Not Drafted . . . Yet
An Unimpressed View Of USC Recruiting
USC might have piled up 13 commitments in June but recruiting analyst Mike Farrell said the Trojans’ efforts are “a bit under par.” This will make the fanboy media steam. “USC has done a solid job in 2024, but I’m not as impressed as I should be. Ryan Pellum has a chance to be a star, and they’ve done well at defensive back, but too many good … Continue reading An Unimpressed View Of USC Recruiting
