Deyvid Palepale, a three-star 315-pound defensive tackle, has flipped his commitment from USC to Michigan. This has been rumored for awhile. I guess Palepale won’t be making USC bigger on defense. USC and Michigan fighting over a three star. Can’t always trust those rankings. Keep an eye on wide receiver Xavier Jordan of Sierra Canyon. He’s another commitment that could flip, probably to Utah.

USC has removed a statue and plaque of George Widney, one of the founders of the university, for “maintenance and cleaning” according to the Daily Trojan.

Let me guess: These players are fundamentally sound, can tackle, remember assignments and . . . were coached. In other words, they are ready to go on Day 1, the only way secondary players seem to thrive in the Riley administration. Maybe D’Anton Lynn … Continue reading USC Aspires To Be Oregon State
Wide receiver/return specialist Zacariah Branch has become the USC football program’s first true freshman to be a first-team All-American, according to the university. This means he will get a plaque outside the McKay Center alongside the other football All-Americans. Now the team he made is the Pro Football Focus All-American team. Is it legit? Maybe. Maybe not. But USC recognizes every All-American team. It currently … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: All-American Madness
