Just to follow-up on this morning’s post where I noted how coaches do not want to compete. One reason Lincoln Riley took the USC job was because he did not want to go to the SEC with Oklahoma. And he took the USC job before the Trojans moved to the Big Ten. So he gets no credit for playing a Big Ten schedule. He also … Continue reading USC Notes: Basketball Adds Another Scorer, For Better Or Worse

Not exactly a surprise but I find it kind of classless to enter the draft without even a statement for the USC fans or a word of appreciation for the basketball program that supported you. Does this affect USC’s Top 25 ranking … Continue reading Alijah Arenas Declares For NBA Draft

It’s important to remember that only about 1 percent of high school prospects are five-stars, so there should be fewer drafted each year.
