If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Velltray Jefferson, a three-star wide receiver from Edison High School in Fresno, decommitted from USC on Thursday night. He hasn’t exactly been inundated with offers since he originally committed to USC so maybe he got dropped. Perhaps superhuman assistant coach Donte Williams, creator of recruiting, made the call. But Jefferson is 6-foot-4 and USC loves wide receivers, so maybe he just decided to look elsewhere. … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

Looks Like $150 Doesn’t Go As Far As It Used To
The fact USC is charging $150 a ticket for its “spring preview” and welcoming of the “recruiting class to the Trojan Family” came with a kicker. You don’t even get a meal for your $150.

How many … Continue reading Looks Like $150 Doesn’t Go As Far As It Used To
When USC Offensive Coaches Applaud Donte Williams They Indict Themselves
It is universally agreed new assistant coach Donte Williams will improve recruiting. That is why he was hired. But if he gets some offensive players to commit, what exactly have Graham Harrell, Mike Jinks, Tim Drevno and Keary Colbert been doing the past year? Harrell couldn’t even land a two-star QB this year. Jinks did not sign any tailbacks. Drevno signed a collection of linemen … Continue reading When USC Offensive Coaches Applaud Donte Williams They Indict Themselves
Should USC Flex Its Muscle On Pac-12 TV Deal?
Just a follow-up to this morning’s post, if Carol Folt and Mike Bohn are smart, they will force the Pac-12 to revise the TV revenue agreement that sees each school paid equally. When the conference expanded to 12 teams, USC and UCLA were supposed to get an extra $2 million each until broadcast revenues reached a certain threshold. That threshold was reportedly met in the … Continue reading Should USC Flex Its Muscle On Pac-12 TV Deal?
USC Morning Buzz: Does Carol Folt Realize The Pac-12’s Woes?
Do you think Carol Folt, who didn’t mind bringing Clay Helton back, has a clue about how inept Larry Scott has been as Pac-12 commissioner? It’s part of her job to decide Scott’s fate but I doubt she has a strong view on him. Mike Bohn is certainly familiar with Scott because Bohn was at Colorado. Scott hasn’t pushed to expand the College Football Playoff, … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Does Carol Folt Realize The Pac-12’s Woes?
