To all the dummies thinking SC is gonna suck at recruiting as a rule.

Stop.

ND has to take advantage of the time it will take for the OL to reboot. Besides that, they are back when it comes to recruiting.

Here's hoping that they hire another incompetent to below average coach again after this season.

Will be interesting to see if/how the financial impact of COVID on athletic budgets impact hiring and firing. it will boil down to the ability to absorb the finances, which USC should. Along with the public perception of committing significant resources to football at a time that may look more frivolous than it usually does. Let alone a coach who wants to sign their "big deal" during what could be one of the most significant revenue declines in college athletics in decades.

We will see. Interesting times ahead.

I'd be fine with them getting top kids at all positions but the O-line.

very interesting point! with how much money some of these universities have eaten with firing coaches after a year or 2 and then ponying up to pay a coach to come in (fsu in particular), this could cause some universities holding onto coaches longer

I want to cheer, but that's two opponents off our schedule. Would make it damn near impossible to make the playoffs if the other conferences manage to maintain 12-game schedules.

I think it will extend beyond just the PAC 12. I also think if push came to shove, ND would flex their muscle with the ACC and would unofficially become a football member for a year. Everyone will be scrambling for games.

This is why I don't think it would be too much of an issue. Just collaborate with the other teams who will be dealing with the same issue. I do wish they would get out ahead of it a bit like TCU/Bama, but time will tell.

Could play the Aggies the day of the Stanford game (they play Fresno State the same day) and Hawaii the day of the USC game (they play SDSU). Beating the Aggies would be so sweet...

Couple of random things with USC

1) They’ve got Kedon Slovis and Matt Fink as the only two scholarship QB’s for next season. That’s pretty wild. They’re trying to convince Miller Moss to reclassify to join them in the fall but he’ll only do that if High School football is cancelled for his senior year. Pretty interesting predicament

2) Their recruiting is incredibly hot right now. They’re in line for a monster DB class (Donté Williams is to be thanked). Drevno is recruiting 4-5 4*’s pretty hard at OLine and could get a couple. RB they’ve got a 4* from Texas and two Cali RB’s who like them. Also, I think 9 4* LBers on the west coast and they look solid for a couple of them. They’re really turning it around on the recruiting front so it’ll be interesting to see how they finish up after having such a terrible class last year.

3) Hiring Todd Orlando, Craig Naivar, Donté Williams, and Vic So’oto is really gonna help recruiting on the defensive side of the ball. Losing Johnny Nansen hurts a lot cause he’s a top level recruiter but overall their 4 man defensive staff is a better recruiting staff than Clancy Pendergast, Chad Kauha'aha'a, Joe De’Forest, and Greg Burns.

It could all fall to shit too if they don't play ball this season.

I really like this idea. Adds a respectable opponent from the SEC and counter it with a lighter touch in HI.

Plus Elko revenge. I don't really have an issue with him (helps that Lea has been such a huge success) but still, one and done for a lateral move was a bit busch league.

0% chance that Lane Kiffin is still at Ole Miss in 5 years.

At what point does USC call up John David Booty and see if he wants to be QB2?
