Recruiting concern...

Chris Swanson
There are those close to USC's recruiting efforts who are nervous about how the Trojans will close along the defensive line.

USC has obviously done very well so far, signing Caleb Tremblay while securing commitments from Tuli Letuligasenoa and Trevor Trout. But Kenechi Udeze's recent flirtation with the NFL is causing some nervousness at USC because Letuligasenoa and Trout haven't signed anything yet.

It's worth noting that Letuligasenoa told me at the Polynesian Bowl that he was completely committed to USC (although he was looking to visit another PAC-12 school at the time, a visit that never materialized.) Trevor Trout, told me this week that was he was completely committed to USC as well.

Mychale Salahuddin

T
Just passing on some interesting information

While We were staying at the team hotel for the Cotton Bowl, I talked to our former tailback coach.

When I asked him why Mychale Salahuddin backed off his committing to USC, he told me it was because he wants to be a wide receiver! I said what and he said yes. I said it's not because of his mother and what happened on their recruiting visit? He said absolutely not. We recruited him to be a tail back and he wanted to be a wide receiver. And he said we have moved on...

He also said this was an absolute surprise to him to USC and anyone around him!!

He was dead serious and I even had lunch with him. Great coach and person.

OT - Hey, I was wondering if anyone ......

S
knows where the liberals buy their bricks that they throw through windows? Are they on Amazon or do you have to go up to Berkeley to get them directly?

Would they refuse to sell a brick to a conservative like me? That’d be a mean thing to do. Since they’re so inclusive they must sell me a brick as well, wouldn’t they?

Lib tards, I’ll take your answers off air.

Irvin will visit USC this weekend

Chris Swanson
Not long ago, USC led the way for Rivals100 DB Julius Irvin and it seemed that the product of Servite HS in Anaheim, Calif. was set on picking the Trojans.

That was before the early signing period and a last second push by USC's coaching staff for Irvin to hold off on signing until February. That push put things up in the air again and made those around Irvin question whether or not he was a top priority for the school. But now, USC's coaches are back on Irvin and recruiting him hard.

In fact, Irvin hosted USC last night. A source close to Irvin's recruitment told TrojanSports.com that Ronnie Bradford, Keary Colbert and Clay Helton made it out to see Irvin.

Those three convinced Irvin to visit USC again before making a commitment.

"He's going to SC again on Saturday," the source said.

Irvin's family is apparently very impressed with USC's newest addition to the coaching staff, Keary Colbert. Colbert is helping USC fight off a familiar conference rival and a new addition to Irvin's top three.

"I know it's down to them, Washington and Alabama," the source said.

Alabama got Irvin's fifth and final official visit and our source says "honestly, I think it's big" when asked what the scholarship offer from the Crimson Tide means to Irvin. The Crimson Tide saw Irvin on an in-home visit "the other day" as did Washington's Jimmy Lake.

Our source says he doesn't know which school Irvin will pick but that we should expect Irvin's commitment before signing day and not long after this weekend's visit to USC.

USC-Trees , a strange game….

G
Bennie Boatwright was out with a wart on his foot. Sounds like nothing but I had one and it was painful with rubbing by the shoes and it affects play.

Once again USC held a huge lead-15 points at the half (41-26). They got there by being more athletic and aggressive versus Stanford's system of passing often, and touching near all 5 players before a shot. It seems like David Shaw was coaching this team as well as football. They stuck with it, disciplined and not particularly inventive. USC made them pay with the majority of their points in the paint (48by USC to 28 by Stanford) and by inducing turnovers (16 Stanford turnovers to 7 for USC). .

But one nagging thing was that USC fouls were coming quickly while Stanford was not (9FTs to USCs 4 in 1H). Since USC was more aggressive on O that seemed strange, particularly at home. Sometimes I wonder if refs subconsciously see one team pounding on another and start thinking they need not give the lead team any more advantage. And in the 2H Stanford gets 10 FTs and USC only the 4 -McLaughlin FTs at the end of the game. Getting points at the FT line with the clock stopped is an easy way to get back.

Sure enough the second half US had its normal dry spell and Stanford like the tortoise was getting back in the race. Still leading by 12 at 57-45 (11:11 to go) it became 66-64 with 0:32 to go. McLaughlin potted 1 FT and missed the second. 3 ahead and McLaughlin made a great anticipatory steal of a pass, was fouled and missed both FTs. Now still up by 3 Trojan Killer Davis launched a three to tie….but from where I sat it looked off and it was hitting the iron in back of the net and going out of bounds. USC inbounded it on a half court pass and Stewart dunked it while the faithful let out a synchronized breath of relief.

Star of the game from the bench was Jonah Matthews and his 18 points on 7-12 shots and 4-6 on threes. He kept Stanford D a little honest. USC is now technically tied for first with Arizona (7-2 vs. 6-1) but UA has 2 more games to play. The crowd was late arriving and filled about 40% of the arena. Come out Sunday vs. Cal and support this team.

OT: Jordan B. Peterson - anybody follow his podcasts?

SC55OU19
Curious, I had never heard of him but my son tells me a fair amount of Millennials are following Jordan Peterson's podcasts. He is a clinical psychologist that clearly knows his sh*t. This hostile interview with a British journalist shows that JBP is very impressive, never loses his composure, sticks to the facts, high level of critical thinking, pushes back on group think, never backs down.

Hope more Millenials give JBP a listen.

Breaking down how JT Daniels fit into the 2018 rankings

Josh Helmholdt
If you have not listened before, Rivals SE analyst Chad Simmons and I host the Rivals Ranking Podcast talking prospect evaluations and recruiting rankings. In today's episode we had a pretty candid conversation about the discussion we had on where JT Daniels fit in the 2018 rankings after re-classifying. That specific discussion starts at the 5:10 mark in the player below, but there's some references to Daniels even earlier in the podcast:
