. Greatest talent I’ve seen at QB at USC (and I’ve seen them all). Caleb is truly a generational talent with commitment to winning. Enjoy this dude. He’s special.
What Lincoln Riley has done in 6 days breathing life back into our beloved USC football program, establishing the brand again with elite recruits and resurrecting the program from the depths of the last 6 years is absolutely insane. Get ready, USC will be going on quite a run.
Pretty simple - USC can win it all this year if Caleb stays healthy. Transformation of program remains incredible. All credit to Lincoln Riley. All USC fans who suffered through unjust sanctions and the last HC deserve it. ✌️
So according to the same “Pitt insider” that said USC offered $2 million NIL to Addison and this was about the $ now says Pitt matched the offer and Addison still wants out. I guess the whole “stealing” players narrative sort of washed out quick.
17-2. Best start in 50 plus years. Truly remarkable the run USC hoops is on last 87 games. Can’t take it for granted and should be appreciated. Everyone…let’s hear it…THANKS ENFIELD!
BREAKING: Former UCLA Safety Kamari Ramsey has Committed to USC, he tells
@on3sports
The 6’1 202 S is ranked as the No. 12 Overall Player in the Transfer Portal (No. 1 Safety) per On3 👀
Will have 3 years of eligibility remaining
Cannot believe USC football 2022 is about ready to get started. Have not looked forward to a season as much as this one in easily 7-8 years. New era. Having a HC we will see on the sidelines and not throw up in our mouths is awesome. ✌️✌️
Things USC fans haven’t seen in a long time - simple but true: 1) wide open receivers 2) utilization of all talent no matter frosh or upper class 3) creative play calling 4) RPO with threat of QB running 5) leader at QB w NFL

pick talent 6) 2nd half play as hard as 1st…
D completely disintegrated after ND game. No doubt it’s Riley’s move whether Grinch is fired. If not, lots of pressure in off season that could be eliminated w a change up at DC. Absolutely horrific performance that is 100% at feet of DC. No two ways about it- talent or no talent
Given the year delivered by Riley, the culture and vision established so swiftly and clear trajectory of program I would suggest those obsessing over a missed recruit take a step back and focus on the kids committing to be Trojans today. Tremendous talent w more coming by feb. ✌️
Fun fact about NFL Hall of Famers and USC. With Boselli USC has 14 players in the HoF. ND has 14 also but not all were players. DeBartolo is a HoF entrant but never played. BTW, Oklahoma has 4.✌️
I know there has been incessant complaining about recruiting but as seen last night the 2023 class is super legit. Haven’t even seen yet Peevy -Pierce -Laffitte -Noa - Banuelos etc. this guy 👇is unreal. Duce Branch Lemon Joiner man whine all you want but 2023 is a stellar class.
“Bohn said the school plans to honor White during a game next season. He is the first of their record eight Heisman Trophy winners to die. A CW jersey patch might be nice.”
Throwback jerseys please with season long

patch.✌️
Charles White, suffering from dementia and esophageal cancer until his death last week, pointed to the TV during the Heisman ceremony and uttered one word: "Caleb."

on the final days of a true Trojan
A lot of people worried Riley would make a hire from the Leach tree and instead makes a hire from the Ravens D tree. This shows growth as a HC. Ravens D concepts are the best in football imo. McDonald, Minter, Martindale. Physicality. It’s a BIG deal.
Time to recognize the brilliant job Henson has done with the o line. Of course the big 3 returning was colossal but development of guys like GQ and Murphy is astounding. Shifts 79 to guard and Murphy slides in at RT does great. He’s a big time hire.
@USC_mikebohn
you may be pleased but the legion of supporters of this blueblood program are "steamed." take your integrity bullshit and hit the road. and good luck restoring the program with the SAME guy who has demonstrated no ability to do it.
This Cotton Bowl is going to be a huge challenge. Tulane has a very good HC, strong d and potent offense led by a really good QB and RB. USC will need to be ready for this game.
If you are one of those with post concussion syndrome from the prior regime or worry about USC recruiting I strongly suggest you just chill and enjoy the ride. USC is back. Good times have returned.
This is unprecedented. USC has a HC heading into yr 5. A new DC is hired -he tells players 1st day “this sh*t” of half ass workouts/laziness stops now. That soft practices are over. And this is PRAISED by USC athletics. Never seen this before where culture of existing HC mocked.
No hyperbole but Riley is right - the goal line stand late last night was fantastic and the highlight - that sequence best demonstrates the tectonic culture shift at USC. It meant a lot.✌️
Neilon Dedich and Vorhees all coming back has the been the forgotten not talked about big key to success. Each are great Trojans. Easily could’ve gone to portal or gone pro. ✌️
I know it won’t be highly popular right now to recognize a few dudes on USC that really deserve it - Tahj has been outstanding and should get his 1,000 yds. Austin Jones has been a rock every time he’s been called upon last 2 years. Both are great.
