Three-star tailback Harry Dalton of Dinwiddie, Va., committed to USC today. He is the second tailback to commit to USC for the Class of 2025, joining three-star Riley Wormley of Southlake, Texas. USC now has nine commitments overall for 2025. Four-star QB Matt Zollers recently committed to Missouri over Georgia. That will put more pressure on the Bulldogs to try and flip the commitment of … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: USC Gets Tailback Commitment
This might be a quote to remember from Lincoln Riley today on USC’s move to the Big Ten. “I feel like sometimes it gets made out in the media that the Big Ten is like, some wildly different deal.

Am I the only one who thinks it will be a jarring transtion for Kobe Johnson to go from Andy Enfield to Mick Cronin? USC basketball … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Eric Musselman has a massive rebuild ahead. I’m going to keep an eye on how he does with the talented Southern California Class of 2026. Musselman was criticized in Arkansas for alienating in-state high school coaches and relying on the transfer portal. He must work the portal to have a team for next year. But he can’t ignore the Class of 2026 local players like … Continue reading Tracking Eric Musselman Developments
