If the Notre Dame rivalry ends, I’d like to see a rotating home & home with Cal and Stanford. Bring the weekender back every other year.

USC has a crystal ball pick for 2027 4-star CB Danny Lang from Mater Dei. According to 247sports, he’s listed at 6’1 and 165 pounds. Would be a great way to open up the 2027 recruiting cycle.

USC’s recruiting strategy: (www.on3.com/news/xavier-...)

Wow, I was right. He did officially decommit from USC.

RUMORS: USC might be getting a de-commitment today from a highly rated commit. I personally don’t think it’s TomTom. My guess is Xavier Griffin? Major SEC schools like Alabama and especially Georgia have been recruiting hard. If this is the case, it’s big loss, but I think USC recovers this loss.

Sorry about the lack of updates in recent days. I’ve been focusing on school. Anyways: (5/12/25): 3-Star LB Taylor Johnson commits to USC. Very solid player, could be impactful. (5/10/25): 4-star LB/EDGE Shaun Scott commits to USC. A very GOOD pick up for USC. USC is recruiting as an EDGE.

This is going to be a fun game to watch

Good win for Illinois. Bret is building something special over there

Breaking: Saints QB Derek Carr announced his retirement after dealing with a shoulder injury that would knock him out for the 2025 season.

Wild career for him

USC hires Trumain Carroll as the next Strength & Conditioning Coach. He was previously coaching for Kansas State as the same position. According to this one article from kstatesports.com created by D. Scott Fritchen, during this spring, four players times over 24 miles per hour, six players—

UCF CB transfer Chasen Johnson has officially committed to the USC trojans (again). Not a bad addition for our inexperienced CB room. I trust Trovon Reed & the entire defensive staff.

He officially committed to USC.

😂😂😂😂😂

New update: Derek Owings will be staying at Indiana as he received a big pay raise.

5-star CB Elbert Hill from Akron, OH has committed to the USC trojans‼️ Back-to-back 5 stars. You rarely see this from USC in recent years. He chose USC over Ohio State, Oregon, and Alabama. USC’s recruiting momentum is just getting bigger and bigger.

Very interesting update on the Strength & Conditioning coach vacancy. Derek Owings, Indiana’s Strength & Conditioning coach, has emerged as a target for USC, per Matt Zenitz. If USC makes it official, this is a great hire. Last season, Indiana looked surprisingly physical & strong.

USC is the team to watch for UCF CB Chasen Johnson (again). He originally committed to USC during the Winter Portal, but decided to go back to UCF. And now he re-entered the portal. Not really huge fan of this move by USC, but the defense will benefit from CB depth & I trust the staff.

(Credits to Chris Treviño from Twitter/X): USC’s 2026 OL Class: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OT Keenyi Pepe (6-foot-7, 320) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ IOL Esun Tafa (6-foot-4, 305) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ OT Vlad Dyakonov (6-foot-6, 275) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ IOL John Fifita (6-foot-6, 350) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ IOL Kannon Smith (6-foot-5, 260) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ OT Chase Deniz (6-foot-7, 290)

4-star WR Luc Weaver from Notre Dame High School from Sherman Oaks received a prediction from Steve Wiltfong to commit to USC. He received an offer from USC and they became a school to beat for him. We are sticking true to our old principles. ✌️

5-Star IMG Academy OT Keenyi Pepe, brother of current USC DT Kobe Pepe, has committed to the USC trojans‼️✌️ Not only that, but he is shutting down his recruitment. This is another win for the staff and the momentum continues to grow for USC.

4-Star Roderick Tezeno Jr. has committed to the USC trojans‼️ ✌️ He is from Opelousas, Louisiana. He picked the trojans over Houston, Tulane, and Kentucky. This is an excellent get for the trojans. ✌️

USC head coach Lincoln Riley announced that the football program will be parting ways with Bennie Wylie, who was the Director of Football Sports performance. This is kind of out of the blue. A friend of mine suggested that the vibe is very similar to the Mike Bohn controversy.

Former Utah WR (1) Zacharyus Williams has committed to the USC trojans‼️ ✌️ He was a rising star with the Utah Utes as he was projected to be their number 1 target. This is an excellent addition for our WR room.

USC RB Woody Marks is selected by the Texans with the 116th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft‼️ This can’t be a coincidence that the Texans are building a pipeline to USC. 😂 ✌️ They for sure love our trojans, but anyways, this is an underrated pick for the Texans. Go be good Woody. ✌️

USC CB Jaylin Smith is selected by the Houston Texans with the 97th pick of the 2025 NFL draft‼️ This is the second consecutive year that the Texans draft someone from the USC secondary. 👀 Maybe the Texans are building a USC pipeline? 🤷‍♂️ 👀

Trade summary Falcons get: 2025 1st-round pick (No. 26) 2025 3rd-round pick Rams get: 2025 2nd-round pick (No. 46) 2026 1st-round pick 2025 7th-round pick

The Giants trade into the first round to take Jaxson Dart over Shedeur Sanders. Wow.

LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO

VIVA LAS VEGAS With the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Raiders select RB Ashton Jeanty. #NFLDraft2025

Wow, great get for the Panthers

The Denver Broncos are making an aggressive push to get into the top 10, per sources.

New prediction from Pete Nakos for USC to land in-state 5-star QB product Ryder Lyons. Looks like we will be riding with Ryder Lyons. 😎 ✌️ USC have other predictions for Elbert Hill, Talanoa Ili, and now Ryder Lyons. We should start seeing commitment announcements soon.

USC Safety Bishop Fitzgerald was praised by Lincoln Riley for how quickly he’s learning D’anton Lynn’s defensive scheme. “He knows the checks, he knows the formation adjustments. It’s like bringing in a veteran in the NFL. His learning curve is not quite as steep.” — Lincoln Riley

In other practice news, USC legend Troy Polamalu attended USC’s practice to observe and speak with the team. 👀 ✌️ (Picture taken by Dave Emerick from Twitter/X, not my photo)

Lincoln Riley spotlights TE Walker Lyons for improving his “stock” this spring. This means he might be the No. 1 TE for Jayden Maiava this upcoming season, or at least in contention for the TE1 spot. 👀 ✌️

He also says Jayden Maiava is the clear QB1 right now.

Lincoln Riley says there will be open practice on Thursday for the media. ✌️ (Not to be confused with open practice for the PUBLIC).

Penn State transfer LB Ta’Mere Robinson has committed to USC. ✌️ He appeared in 14 games and had starter reps within those games. This is an excellent pickup for the trojans. He will have three years of eligibility. If developed and used right, he could wear #55. 👀 ✌️

FONG BOMB‼️ Steve Wiltfong placed a prediction for USC to land Elbert Hill. 👀 ✌️ This will be an absolute win for the staff when he commits. While it doesn’t mean he will stick with USC until December, the way the recruiting staff is running, he might ride with USC longer than most people expect.

Late on this, but Notre Dame Safety Kennedy Urlacher has committed to USC. This is an excellent pickup as we need depth at safety and nickel (I believe). We need all the help we can get on that position.

What will be Lee Corso’s final headgear game on Aug. 30? LSU at Clemson, Texas at Ohio State or Alabama at Florida State

🤮
