LSU currently has three player commitments from Southern California for the Class of 2020. USC has two. I asked a recruiting analyst Sunday morning about that. “More to come from Southern Calfornia for LSU,” he said. USC men’s volleyball lost to Pepperdine last night in the MPSF championship game. But the Trojans received an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament at Long Beach State. Bracket … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Recruiting Comparison
If you are in the camp that believes the USC director of recruiting or player personnel is so important, then how do you explain four-star wide receiver Jermaine Burton of Calabasas not getting offered?
