USC Notes: I’m Not Buying This Transfer Explanation

Zacariah Branch said in this podcast with Amon-Ra St. Brown that he transferred because he couldn’t always access the USC weightroom. Branch mentions a lawsuit, presumably referring to the Stafon Johnson lawsuit that was filed after the accident in the weightroom in 2009. I don’t buy this explanation. Branch clearly regressed in his sophomore season at USC and I think he transferred because he didn’t … Continue reading USC Notes: I’m Not Buying This Transfer Explanation

He committed only two errors all season. The play most fans will remember is the foul ball he did not catch in the ninh inning against North Carolina. Pitcher Gavin Lauridsen, who was 3-1 with a … Continue reading USC Loses Shortstop And Pitcher

When I see the prospects, though, I keep wondering how many USC will actually take given that Chad Bowden intends to take only 16 freshmen next year. I’m still not convinced that is the case, especially if some top prospects decide late in the game they might want to come to … Continue reading Morning Buzz: It’s Camp Season But How Many Lucky Prospects Will USC Take?
