USC Morning Buzz: Flurry Of Football/Basketball Additions

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. Lincoln Riley will be happy because Johnson is the third commitment from Texas for the Class of 2026. And Georgetown center Drew … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Flurry Of Football/Basketball Additions

Sunday Buzz: USC The Place To Be!

When Will JuJu Watkins Return?

JuJu Watkins was named the U.S. Basketball Writers’ Assn. Player of the Year today. I don’t think I agree with ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo in the clip below that assumes Watkins will redshirt next season. I think it’s too soon to know. She mentions that Paige Bueckers of UConn took a year off. But people respond differently and recovery times are not always the same. … Continue reading When Will JuJu Watkins Return?
