Ep 892It Took Less Than 24 Hours To Make Things Right Again: USC Regained The No.1 Ranked Recruiting Class
USC regained the No.1 class ranking just one day after Georgia leap frogged the Trojans. I'll explain what happened and I have some Tom Tom Topui evaluation feedback.

I'll tell you why "Thanos" will make an impact as a true freshman.What if the playoffs existed back in 2002? I play the "what if" game in the 3rd segment. USC won 2 consecutive national championships and played for a 3rd. However, how many more would the Trojans have won had the 12-team playoff format been around?

Ep 889There Are 50 Days Left Until The Season Kicks Off: Does USC Have An Offensive Line Issue To Deal With?
The Trojans could be without one of their most experienced offensive linemen unless the NCAA grants DJ Wingfield his eligibility waiver to play for USC in 2025.

I have all of the details in the show's first segment.USC is NIL strong in 2025 and it's only going to get better every year going forward. Lincoln Riley even talks about USC's "Fair Market Value" advantage they have over everyone else.This week's Friday Rant talks about disingenuous discussions.

Ep 880USC's Preseason Conference Power Ranking: The Trojans Should Be In The Top Three
No one thinks USC can contend for a conference championship in 2025, however, I have a new power ranking poll that has USC at No.3 behind Penn St, and Ohio St. I make the argument in the show's first segment that USC should be ranked higher than a5 other teams in the B1G Conference.Does a coach's system make good players great or do the players make the system great? It's a Jimmies & Joes vs the X's & O's discussion with the transfer portal part of the calculus.I have a recruiting update in the final segment of the show.

Ep 878The Lessons USC Learned In 2024 Will Play A Significant Role In 2025
USC was close to being a 9-win team in 2024 and if they want to win 9 or more games in 2025, they'll need to learn lessons from their 1-4 record on the road. The Trojans held 4th quarter leads in every game but one in 2024 and very should have won at least 3 of the 4 they lost. I talk about which lessons Lincoln Riley and team can take away from losing so many close games in 2025, and how it will help them in 2025.I believe the defense will be USC's strength this season, however, there are a couple of concerns that I want to point out with the linebackers and secondary. In the 2nd segment, I list my concerns at cornerback, at linebacker and with the safeties.I like to talk about recruiting, even during the current dead period. I have a few names to keep an eye on. July 4th could be another big day for USC's class of 2026.#usc #uscfootball #uscbasketball #recruiting #chadbowden #transferportal, #lasvegasbowl #Trojans #ucla #bruins #notredamefightinirish #notrdamefootball #cfp #collegefootballplayoffs #michiganwolverines #michiganfootball #D'antonlynn #defense #baltimoreravens #FOOTBALL # #instantreaction #ncaafoot ball #big10 #big10football #uclafootball #recruiting #reggiebush #heisman #LincolnRiley #nfl #nil #top5 #defense #impact #mvp #transferportal #ncaa #pff, Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

Ep 861USC Is A Trojan Family: Is That Going To Be Enough For Talanoa Ili?
Talanoa Ili will no longer take any more official visits and will play college ball in L.A.; Ili said he will choose between USC and UCLA on Fathers Day, June 15th. It's a USC vs UCLA battle for the best LB in the west, and both schools are using the "Family" approach. I have all the details in the first segment.Is USC's offseason too good to be true considering their past two years on the field? It's hard to find too many negatives since Lincoln Riley's Trojans went 8-5 and 7-6 respectively. But that hasn't stopped them from putting together the No.1 recruiting class. Do you know what ESPN's FPI ranking is and where USC is in their FPI poll?

Ep 859Locked On's Top 100: How Many USC Players Make The Cut?
The Locked On Network is preparing its first ever Top 100 players list to be debuted in July. I have six Trojan names that I submitted for consideration. During the show's first segment, I'll tell you why these six names deserve consideration, plus I also offer the next four names on USC's Top 10 players on the roster regardless of position.In the second segment, I have a bunch of notes from the team's first week of summer workouts with S&C Coach Trumaine Carroll before I transition into some recruiting and official visitors news.Every week I wrap up the Friday show with my Friday Rant. Both are tied to each other, so I have some thoughts on the SEC pushing for a different playoff format, and why it's the worst idea possible for college football except for the USC vs Notre Dame rivalry possibly ending. #usc #uscfootball #uscbasketball #recruiting #chadbowden #transferportal, #lasvegasbowl #Trojans #ucla #bruins #notredamefightinirish #notrdamefootball #cfp #collegefootballplayoffs #michiganwolverines #michiganfootball #D'antonlynn #defense #baltimoreravens #FOOTBALL # #instantreaction #ncaafoot ball #big10 #big10football #uclafootball #recruiting #reggiebush #heisman #LincolnRiley #nfl #nil #top5 #defense #impact #mvp #transferportal #ncaa #pff, Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.
