USC recruiting and everything else

[Crazy Balki]

What the hell was Slovis doing there

He had no chance to look inept against ND this year, so he has to stay in practice for '21.

 

[Luckylucci]

This looks like mid level juco ball

It really is pretty comical. Watching an average Oregon team lose to Oregon State and Cal in back to back weeks and now represent your conference as champs is hilarious. This is what mediocrity looks like.

 

[Classic Irish]

Southern cal living a lie. 5-0 against crappy competition then lose the CCG in your home stadium to a mediocre Oregon team. And trailed the entire game, too.

Don't fire Helton Don't fire Helton Don't fire Helton Don't fire Helton Don't fire Helton

Get it trending on twitter. #ExtendHelton

 

[Irishman77]

Lol

 

[phillyirish]

Imo this is pretty ideal season for USC in our perspective. They legit could of lost every game this year and had a Mich type year. In such case Helton probably would be fired. Maybe them going 4-2 would be more ideal, but either way I see them getting smoked in whatever bowl they go to so that should be nice.

Was hoping for, and IIRC what was predicted, was IU vs USC.

So when do we discuss how liberalism and liberal states are destroying their own sports teams?

It's no surprise that USC and the Soviet Union share the same colors.

USC was so lucky to not have to play ND in retrospect.

Just woke up and saw the upset from last night. Only followed it through halftime. This had me laughing:

Damn, and they're always razor thin at OL to begin with. I feel so bad for them! Oh. Wait. No I don't.

 

[dublinirish]

Lol on the thread on r/cfb about him you got both Pac12 and Florida fans lamenting the fact that their states dont produce big OL anymore due to parents there being too health conscious about their kids and don't want them being 300 lbs + teenagers

Also their junior class (2018) was 4th overall in 247 composite with only 18 commits.
- 6 of the top 8 recruits won’t be on the roster as seniors in 2021.
- Their 12th and 14th rated recruits (both 4 stars) are in transfer portal (McClain and Stepp)
- One of 2 remaining top 100 recruits, LB Solomon Tuliaupupu, hasn’t played a down in 3 years after foot and knee surgeries.
- The other, and highest remaining recruit in the 2018 class, CB Isaac Taylor-Stuart, almost missed 2020 after rehabbing his surgically repaired knee in the off season, he was a two-deep player

He should have been Irish. Ugh

 

[stpeteirish]

well they got Korey Foreman and Ceyair Wright today so there's that. Passed us on the 247 composite FWIW.

 

[Legacy]

As for the McClains, both Munir and Abdul-Malik left USC in November. Abdul-Malik transferred to Jackson State with Deion Sanders, though I could not locate where Munir went or if the fed investigation has been resolved. Mom is an advocate for HBCUs as well as for her sons.

So glad he was not. The idea of having to deal with that circus for another 3-4 years would have been insane.

They get these recruits literally based off of being in LA. I can't believe they have stuck with Helton for so long... Good coach but they're an elite coach from being where they were 15 years ago

Yeah! Winning sucks! Glad he chose elsewhere!

Stop.

OKKKKKK, dur dur dur


As if Brown would have been worth 8 more wins.

The only person who needs to stop here, my dude, is not me. If Brown were that big of a difference maker, then why did USC not win 10+ for the last four years like ND did without him?

The Brown family is just the Ball family 2.0, which is not a compliment btw lol

 

[Classic Irish]

Amon-Ra St. Brown: 0-2 against the Irish. Just sayin’.

2022 4 star CB out of Bishop Gorman NV

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Our lack of dynamism at WR was one of this team's glaring weaknesses, so it's hard to argue Amon-Ra wouldn't have made a significant impact had he chosen to follow in his brother's foot-steps at ND.

He's also likely to be drafted much earlier than his brother did, and will probably make a lot more money as a result. So yes, while USC is a dumpster fire, I doubt Amon-Ra regrets his decision to play for Troy.
