JT Daniels Transfer Takes Another Twist
It looks like JT Daniels will need to obtain a waiver if he wants to transfer from USC. The NCAA Board of Directors recommended to the Division I Council that changes to the waiver process as suggested by the working group are not appropriate at this time and better suited to go into effect for the 2021-22 season. Daniels can still transfer and I cannot … Continue reading JT Daniels Transfer Takes Another Twist
USC Morning Buzz: Hail To The Chief!
Carol Folt delivered the “State of the University” speech on Wednesday via Zoom. Folt said USC projected $300-$500 million operational deficit through June 2021 because of increased expenses and reduced revenue, grants and donations as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. “I’m convinced we will emerge from this even stronger, with a nimble infrastructure and a culture that takes risks, learns from mistakes and puts … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Hail To The Chief!

NBCSN is showing the 2005 USC-Notre Dame game at 7 p.m. PT. I say this is the best game I’ve been to in person. Just don’t ask me to recall more than 4-5 plays. So maybe it’s good they are replaying it. Continue reading Who Is Watching USC-Notre Dame Game?

That is going to really see for kids, is that something that opens up the … Continue reading Clay Helton “May” Add A Quarterback
Believe It Or Not, Coaching Is Even More Important Now
With Elijah Weaver transferring, it means USC loses its top five scorers from last season. That’s not ideal, obviously. I’m sure some will argue the grad transfers, etc. will make up for it. But when you lose your top five scorers and all recruits from 2017-2018, it’s not any way to build a successful program. I’ve called USC a Frankenstein team and it’s going to … Continue reading Believe It Or Not, Coaching Is Even More Important Now
USC Morning Buzz: A Succession Plan That Fell Apart
I wrote back in January that former USC player Kris Richard was a candidate to be hired as defensive coordinator. But a source now tells me the former NFL defensive coordinator was contacted by USC with a plan to bring him aboard and eventually make him the head coach. Richard was offered the defensive coordinator’s job and told he would be the USC head coach-in-waiting. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Succession Plan That Fell Apart
