A handful of reporters spent an hour with GM Chad Bowden this morning in a conference room talking more about his vision and where USC recruiting is heading.
He doubled down on the emphasis of prioritizing California recruiting and talked about how he looked at the percentage of in-state and local prospects on Pete Carroll’s championship teams. He said USC is going to sign the biggest high school class it’s ever signed this year. He said the 2026 class in California is the best it’s been in the state in 20 years.
I’m driving home to transcribe and write, but I’ll post some key comments here now.
