It feels like I’ve heard this song before. USC added a three-star lineman in football and a basketball transfer who won’t transform the program. Jake Johnson, a defensive tackle from Prosper, Texas, committed today. He was offered by Baylor, Kansas, Northwestern and SMU.

No way the Trojans had a chance with Iriafen struggling. Rayah Marshall showed up with 23 points and 15 rebounds.
