Yesterday I asked about the big USC Football Fan Experience Survey that Brandon Sosna sent fans in 2021. Here’s what happened: Sosna created a “Fan Advisory Board” that was supposed to have 15 members, including a current student, a faculty member and a broad array of “fans” (including alumni). Then USC hired Lincoln Riley and the whole thing was basically scrapped. Thanks Sosna! Continue reading USC Notes: A Follow-Up To Yesterday’s Question
Did you see On3 dropped a star from quarterback Julian Lewis? He is now a 4-star QB instead of a 5-star. So after being force-fed every development about Lewis for the past year, including his flirtations with other schools, Lewis is now only the 7th-best QB in the nation per On3?

You know whose job it is to get the mega-donors to donate? The coach! You know how the Galen Center got built? Because Pete Carroll got Lou Galen excited about USC again and then … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Everyone Has Angle On Recruiting
When USC has a setback in recruiting these days, it’s blamed on NIL. Or even people working in the athletic dept. on NIL. But here’s the thing: The top people in these football recruiting/NIL spots were hired by LINCOLN RILEY. Shouldn’t Riley be getting blamed instead of people he hired? After all, why was USC putting up with Alex Grinch? Because Riley hired him! Now … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: It All Starts At The Top
USC suffered a recruiting loss today when four-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn of McKinney, Texas, committed to Ohio State. Of course it will be blamed on NIL. Pettijohn was a top priority for USC, however, and the Trojans went hard after him. He is rated the 31st-best player in the nation. He is the third linebacker this week to spurn USC. Ohio State currently has the … Continue reading Saturday Buzz: Yet Another Linebacker Spurns USC
