USC Leading Scorer To Arizona?
USC point guard Endyia Rogers, who led the Trojans in scoring last season, is transferring and could be headed to Arizona, per a published report. Rogers led USC in scoring (14.4 ppg) and rebounding (4.4 rpg) last season. She apparently is not interested in sticking around and seeing who Coach Bohn hires. Arizona went to the NCAA championship game, has a charasmatic coach (Adia Barnes) … Continue reading USC Leading Scorer To Arizona?
A USC Trustee Speaks
The USC newsletter today is a conversation I had with a member of the Board of Trustees. “It’s a shame things are in the present state,” the trustee said. Sign up for full interview. Earlier, I wrote about the changing face of the athletic dept. USC athletic director Mike Bohn continues to raid the University of Cincinnati for high-ranking positions inside the Trojan athletic dept. … Continue reading A USC Trustee Speaks

It’s an interesting thing about Clay Helton, because he has this media image that he is Mr. Nice Guy. But if you talk to people that coach under him, they say if you want to thrive at USC, you need to constantly kiss up to Helton or he will write you off.

USC players had the “privilege” of playing against pro players Marlin McKeever, Ron Mix and Leon Clarke, who once broke open the door of a sorority by head-butting it. Mix is in the NFL Hall of Fame and considered one of the greatest offensive linemen in … Continue reading A Much More Physical Spring At USC
The “Most Physical Spring Yet”
It is a rite of spring that USC calls the latest spring practice the most physical ever. It’s what happens when you are sensitive to criticism about how physical practices really are. The funny thing is I’ve had USC coaches tell me they didn’t think this spring practice was all that physical. Then again, 40 guys tapped out the final week. Most competitive and physical … Continue reading The “Most Physical Spring Yet”
USC Morning Buzz: What Did You Say That Crowd Size Was?
I spoke to a USC official on Monday who said they believed less than 2,000 fans actually showed up at the Coliseum for the spring scrimmage. So 5,000 were allowed and 2,000 showed up? Sounds like a USC game. What does this portend for Sept. 4 when very few will be excited with the idea of watching San Jose State? Maybe the cardboard cutouts can … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Did You Say That Crowd Size Was?
