Wiltfong just put in foggys for Kayvon Thibodeaux and Faatui Tuitele, two 5* guys who are "supposed" to be leaning USC. Says USC is now trailing behind quite a few schools for Thibodeaux in particular (the #1 ranked kid in the class)

SC didn't even make Tuitele's Top 5:

The masses are getting very confident out here I know that much... they honestly expect a natty very soon.

The same USC defense that ND torched to the tune of 49 points :)

Thank you for pointing that out. I'll remember to stick to literal opinions and comments only from here on out.

People have difficulty not applying the transitive property to their teams year over year after the roster has undergone such drastic changes. So no, in no conceivable way is it the same team.

If we looked at their roster turnover and weighted it according playing time, we'd be able to quantify it. eg - "81% of the same defense that we torched for 49 points last year. Hopefully our offense with 73% returning players can recreate that outcome"

If you'd have said that, I would've had no issue. But since you didn't:

Arbitrator rules in favor of USC in Sarkisian's $30 million lawsuit. They need the money to pay off the lawsuits over their coverup of the student health doctor's alleged sex abuse of hundreds of women.

Hope he makes it back just in time for their bowl game and is 100% for the combine.
