What do Wesley Yates, Desmond Claude, Josh Cohen, Saint Thomas and most of the rest of the USC basketball team have in common with Lincoln Riley? They are not Trojans. Traditionally, a Trojan would be someone who attended USC or developed an emotional bond with the university through their work with USC. Pete Carroll and Art Bartner fit into the latter category. But in this era of … Continue reading Are Lincoln Riley and USC Players True Trojans?
Last week, I wrote about USC’s linebacker corps being a potential weak spot. Well, here’s another one: The secondary. Look at it right now with this potential lineup: Cornerback – DJ Harvey Cornerback- DeCarlos Nicholson Safety – Kamari Ramsey Safety – Bishop Fitzgerald Nickelback – Christian Pierce or Prophet Brown I thought DeCarlos Nicholson would start last season at USC but he started only three … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Let’s Take A Close Look At A Questionable Position
Coach Bowden continues to outpace Sir Lincoln of Riley when it comes to giving interviews this spring. Riley didn’t even speak to the media after Saturday’s final spring practice.

It’s obviously a farewell gesture but it rankled some given her rocky tenure, especially those who worked under her at USC. Browns coach Hue Jackson famously said “You gotta trust me on this one” after the Browns selected Kessler. Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Crazy QB Picks Not Unusual

USC is the pLAce to be according to every social media post put out by the university’s athletic dept. but Lincoln Riley has two players drafted? How is that possible … Continue reading Saturday Buzz: An Underwhelming Draft For USC
