Dedeaux Download: USC season ends in heartbreaking walk-off defeat in Pac-12 Tournament championship

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the Pac-12 Tournament, breaking down USC baseball's run to the championship game, battling to make the title game against regular-season champ Arizona. The Trojans needed a win to take the final Pac-12 title and the NCAA tournament automatic bid, but ultimately they ran out of gas, watching a 3-0 lead and a Caden Aoki no-hitter disappear in the final three innings before ultimately falling to the Wildcats on a walk-off winner that featured a bang-bang play at the plate. The Trojans got excellent starting pitching each of their four games, led by Aoki's masterpiece in the championship and William Watson earning himself some money with the best start of his short USC career. They fought through close games, rallying to beat Utah's career saves leader Micah Ashman before having to hold off Oregon and Cal with both getting late opportunities with the tying run at the plate. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the week in Scottsdale and take a brief look forward at what USC's final push this season will do for the program in the future.

Dedeaux Download: Hot Trojans head to Pac-12 Tournament playing best baseball of season

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the regular season, breaking down USC baseball's sweep of Utah in the final weekend of the regular season to get above .500 for the first time this season while climbing to 17 Pac-12 Conference wins and the No. 4 seed in this week's Pac-12 Tournament. The Trojans got outstanding pitching all three games, led by the continued excellence of ace Caden Aoki, who threw four scoreless innings as he continues to work his way back to full strength after missing more than a month with a shoulder injury. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the weekend before previewing the Pac-12 Tournament, including chatting with USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz as he joins the show from a Scottsdale hotel room after the Trojans' six-hour bus ride. Stankiewicz talks about what the return of Aoki as well as Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek has meant for USC as it moved some other players back into more comfortable roles. He also discusses how things change going into the tournament in desperation win-or-go-home mode this season and what it means for the program to climb up to a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 for the second year in a row.

Dedeaux Download: USC baseball looks to gain momentum heading into Pac-12 Tournament

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the three-week period for USC baseball before the Trojans begin the final weekend of the regular season. During the three weeks, USC saw its at-large hopes officially dashed while going 6-6 with series losses at Arizona State and to California. The Trojans enter the final weekend carrying a three-game win streak after rallying to win a road series at Washington State and taking a midweek road game at Gonzaga. The 25-27 Trojans had been without ace Caden Aoki for a month, which really impacted their pitching, particularly the starting pitching. The weekend rotation has been in flux for most of the season due to performance and/or injuries, which has been one of the primary causes of USC floating around just below .500 rather than being able to ascend to their full potential. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the three-week stretch in their 'Three Up, Three Down' segment where they look at both the positives, including William Watson, the return of Aoki and the breakthrough of Ryan Jackson, as well as three negatives from the week, including a lack of come-from-behind success this season, Austin Overn going on a 3-for-33 slump and the Trojans not seeming to be able to pick each other up when a mistake is made. The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down the Pac-12 standings where the Trojans enter the final weekend in sixth with a chance to climb potentially all the way to No. 3. To do that USC will need to sweep Utah in the Trojans' final home series of the season. Shotgun and Jack look forward to the upcoming action between USC and the Utes.

Seven Trojans selected in the NFL Draft plus USC LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with Oregon State transfer linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold joining the show. The veteran from Mission Viejo comes to USC after three years as a Beaver where he played in 37 games and had 107 tackles, 6.5 for loss with two sacks and pair of interceptions for OSU last season. The Trojans are desperately looking for production out of the linebacker spot and the addition of Mascarenas-Arnold should go a long way towards that goal. The guys chat with him about the decision to join Lincoln Riley, D'Anton Lynn and Matt Entz on this new-look USC defense, coming to Los Angeles with his brother Akili Arnold, how he felt he performed during the 15 spring football practices, what he wants to improve on and what his goals are for his senior season. After the interview Ryan and Connor recap how the Trojans did in the NFL Draft with the first overall pick being Caleb Williams and six more former USC football players being selected. With seven overall selections the Trojans had the most of any program to finish the 2023 season unranked, a dubious distinction that Riley and company will try and rectify in 2024. The interview with Easton Mascarenas-Arnold was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

Reggie gets his Heisman back plus UCLA transfer safety Kamari Ramsey

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with UCLA transfer safety Kamari Ramsey joining the show. The talented redshirt sophomore started 11 games for the Bruins last season, recording 40 tackles including 2.5 for loss, 5 pass breakups and one interception. The 6-foot, 204 pound Ramsey brings good production and experience in new defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn's defensive system. The guys talk to Ramsey about his experience as a starting safety last season, working closely with Lynn, what went into his decision to transfer across town, how spring practice went for him and lots more. They also discuss the breaking news that Reggie Bush had his Heisman Trophy returned, giving USC 8 Heisman Trophies, the most of any program. After the interview Ryan and Connor recap USC's spring game from Saturday where the defense got the better of the offense including four interceptions including a 100-yard pick six. They discuss what they learned on both sides of the ball from watching the game and where they think Lincoln Riley needs to add talent to compete in the Big Ten next season.

Dedeaux Download: First losing week since February is likely death knell to USC baseball's at-large hopes

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a five-game week for the Trojans that proved to be a big disappointment after the Trojans went 2-3 with a pair of losses to Sacramento State, falling to 0-4 against the WAC this season. They break down USC baseball's up-and-down week that did feature a blowout victory over a top 20 UC Irvine team and a late-inning rally from a 10-5 deficit to snag a victory. The Trojans' inconsistent week saw them go back and forth from a proficient offense that capitalized on extra opportunities given by opponents to one that reverted back to its early-season woes of too many strikeouts and inability to come through in the clutch. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the 2-3 week with each providing three things up, including Austin Overn and experimentation, as well as three negatives from the week, including a struggling Jacob Galloway and a gaudy win-loss record for Tyler Stromsborg. The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down what has become a quagmire of seven teams within two and a half games of each other in the middle of the Pac-12 standings. They also look forward to the upcoming week of action that has the Trojans slated to play four road games against traditional powers that are no longer playing like perennial juggernauts, Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State.

Coach Harvey Hyde gives his recap on the USC spring game in the Coliseum

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together recapping USC's spring game that featured the defense getting the better of the offense by a score of 43-28 in a modified scoring system. With D'Anton Lynn at the helm, the new-look USC defense secured four interceptions including a 100-yard pick-six and three-straight drives ending in interceptions in the first half. Coach Hyde thought the Coliseum looked great on Saturday afternoon with beautiful weather, turf in pristine condition and everything looking perfect. When the game started he was happy to see the offense huddle up to get the plays in with helmet communication now allowed per NCAA rules. He wasn't as happy to see the game not feature live tackling and instead defenders would "thud" the offensive players instead of tackling them to the ground. Coach doesn't feel you can get a true game speed evaluation when there is no live tackling and you can't see if the tackling has improved at all because you just aren't running at a full speed pace like you would in a real game. Overall he felt the defense played more to defend the pass than the run since there was no tackling allowed and the offensive play calling was more skewed towards passing than running. The secondary and linebackers were able to play more coverage and so it makes it hard to evaluate their performance when they aren't as worried about coming up to support the run. Coach liked how the offensive line blocked in pass protection, but again it just wasn't a real life game situation when you aren't including the physicality of the run game. The secondary did stand out with four interceptions and coach loved how they were always around the football. It just looked like the players were better coached, not leaving guys wide open and forcing the offense to make contested catches. CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

Spring game preview, transfer portal opens plus wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane joins

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane joining the show. The talented sophomore had a breakout performance in the Holiday Bowl, snagging a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Miller Moss, and he looks to be a key part of the offense as the Trojans head into the Big Ten era. Lane played in six of USC's games last season, snagging 7 catches for 93 yards (13.3 avg.) with a long of 31 yards and 2 TDs (both against Louisville in the season finale). The guys chat with the 6-foot-4, 195 pounded about his impressive bowl game, the progress he has made during the off-season and spring football, the upcoming spring game and lots more. After the interview Ryan and Connor talk about the newly opened NCAA Transfer Portal including which players USC has lost and which guys Lincoln Riley could be targeting. They also take a look ahead at Saturday's spring game where we will get our first real look at the Trojans revamped defense and this Miller Moss-led offense.

Dedeaux Download: USC star center fielder Austin Overn talks triples, homers and robbing home runs

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith breaking down the latest news and notes about the USC baseball program, including the Trojans' going 2-2 last week with a pair of top 20 wins. They break down how USC was able to get a blowout win over No. 12 UC Irvine for its eighth win in nine games before going on the road to Eugene, Ore. to take on the No. 18 Ducks. The Trojans missed out on some opportunities (or had them robbed away) on Friday and Saturday to drop the series, but bounced back to salvage the weekend with a hard-fought victory on Sunday. USC star sophomore center fielder Austin Overn joins the Dedeaux Download Podcast after a strong week where he reached base eight times and scored five runs in four games, including hitting a home run. Overn discusses how he's rebounded from a rough start to the season, his emerging power and walks the listener through how he was able to making a leaping catch at the wall to rob a home run for the first time in his career over the weekend. Overn also talks about the turning point for the Trojans this season and how he tries to display his elite, electric athleticism on the baseball field. After the visit with Overn, Shotgun and Jack preview a unique week for the Trojans as they will play five games against four different teams in six days, including a rematch with UC Irvine and a matchup with a San Diego team that ranks No. 30 in the RPI during the midweek before taking on a pair of Northern California programs that are tough, well-coached teams that could put a big dent in USC's NCAA tournament resume if the Trojans aren't able to take care of business.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Trojans hire Eric Musselman; Women of Troy fall shy of Final Four

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) reacting to the breaking news of USC hiring Eric Musselman away from Arkansas to becoming the Trojans' new men's basketball head coach followed by a break down of the Women of Troy's season coming to a conclusion in an Elite Eight loss to UConn following a thrilling Sweet 16 victory over Baylor. Shotgun and Connor break down the good and the bad of the Musselman hire and discuss what it means about the current state of the USC men's basketball program and the trajectory going forward. They also look at the roster Musselman will inherit and where he'll have to make some big additions before the Trojans head into the Big Ten next season. After a short break, the podcasting duo break down the final weekend of play for the Women of Troy, who defeated Baylor 74-70 in the Sweet 16 to advance to their first Elite Eight since 1994. There the Trojans fell to Connecticut 80-73 despite 29 points and 10 rebounds for JuJu Watkins, who was elite except for a fourth-quarter stretch when she couldn't make a shot and UConn couldn't miss that ended up determining the game. When Watkins went cold, there was no one there to pick her up as USC's role players, who had been so good all season fulfilling their roles, weren't able to do so in the biggest matchup of the season. The Triple-Double Podcast comes to a conclusion for the 2023-24 season with Connor and Shotgun discussing the Trojans potential going forward into the offseason.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's off-season emphasis on defense and Andy Enfield leaving for SMU

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the latest news and notes from USC football spring practices and on the basketball side with head coach Andy Enfield leaving for SMU and the USC women's basketball team making a run to the Elite 8 with a potential Final Four appearance on the line. The guys start off the show talking about the breaking news that Enfield was departing from USC and taking over the SMU basketball program, leaving a future Big Ten job for a future ACC job. Coach thinks that this move is good for both sides, with Enfield getting an opportunity to start fresh with a big contract and USC able to move on from someone who recruited at a higher level than he won and try to raise the basketball program to the next level. They also talk about the women's team where head coach Lindsay Gottlieb and star freshman Juju Watkins have advanced to the Elite 8 with a chance to take down UConn and go to the school's first Final Four since the 1980's. Coach thinks the women are catching fire and there is no reason why they can't get back to the glory days of the program where they were competing for national championships. The guys shift gears back to football, talking about the renewed emphasis on the defensive side of the ball from head coach Lincoln Riley. Coach Hyde likes the moves that have been made for the defensive staff and how the players, especially the defensive linemen, have transformed their bodies and even the push to recruit more highly ranked defensive prospects, but he wants to know why now? What changed? Hyde thinks that it is great Riley is getting more involved in the defense because as the head coach, it isn't the defensive coordinator's defense, it's yours. The head coach has to be a part of the entire program, not just the offense, and Coach Hyde loves that this is happening now for the Trojans. The days of just outscoring people are over, USC is going to try and stop some people as well. Better late than never. They also talk about a couple of offensive additions, with a commitment from three-star 2024 Tustin (Calif.) walk-on quarterback Jack Stupin and three-star running back from Southlake (Texas) Carroll Riley Wormley.

USC Triple-Double: Previewing Women of Troy NCAA tournament run; wrapping up disappointing men's season

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's NCAA tournament selection and their potential tournament run, which will begin at the Galen Center Saturday at 1:30 p.m. PDT against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. They also look at the final week of action for the USC Trojan men, who needed to make an NC State-esque run through the Pac-12 Tournament to win a spot in the NCAA tournament, but instead couldn't buy a bucket in a blowout loss to Arizona to end the season. Shotgun and Connor wrap up the disappointing men's season and talk about how different the roster will look next year with at least half the team expected to exit with Boogie Ellis, DJ Rodman and Joshua Morgan out of eligibility; Isaiah Collier expected to depart to be a first-round draft pick; and Kijani Wright, Oziyah Sellers and walk-on Zach Brooker already having entered the NCAA transfer portal. They also provide an NCAA transfer portal wish list of what they'd like to see the Trojans try to add to their roster this offseason. The Women of Troy enter the NCAA tournament No. 3 in the final Associated Press poll of the season, their highest ranking in the final top 25 poll since Cheryl Miller was on campus. The Trojans also earned the No. 3 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and received a favorable bracket despite Ohio State being the No. 2 seed and Connecticut being the No. 3 seed in USC's Portland 3 Regional. After a short break, Shotgun and Connor preview the upcoming matchup and potential matchups for the Women of Troy this weekend at the Galen Center, including a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi team that may be a No. 16-seed, but could challenge USC with its defense, one of the nation's best in field goal percentage defense and three-point percentage defense. The podcasting duo also look forward to this week's men's Pac-12 Tournament where the Trojans will take on Washington at noon on Wednesday with the winner advancing to face top-seed Arizona Thursday at noon.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Women of Troy win Pac-12 Tournament; men knock off No. 5 Arizona

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's run through the Pac-12 Tournament gauntlet by outlasting Arizona, beating No. 7 UCLA in double overtime and dominating No. 2 Stanford in the championship game to win their first conference tournament title since 2014. They also look at the men's version of the Trojans winning three straight games, including ending the regular season with a bang by picking up their first top-five win since 2008. The Women of Troy move up to No. 3, earning their first top-three ranking in the Associated Press top 25 poll since Cheryl Miller was on campus 38 years prior. The Trojans are No. 10 in the NET rankings after claiming two more wins over teams in the top 10 of the NET rankings, but they likely will be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament after their march to the title in the final Pac-12 Tournament. The men's team moved up in the seeding for their edition of the Pac-12 Tournament after a pair of wins over the Arizona schools, including a win over No. 5 Arizona that ended up pushing the Trojans into a three-way tie for the No. 9 spot. USCFootball.com women's basketball beat writer Ahmad Akkaoui joins the show to discuss the atmosphere in the MGM Garden Arena throughout the women's Pac-12 Tournament and talk about where he's seen Lindsay Gottlieb's squad grow throughout the season while covering the Women of Troy. He discusses the support USC's roles players and reserves have provided for star freshman JuJu Watkins, who scored a career-worst nine points in the championship game while drawing attention that allowed her teammates to thrive. After a short break, Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including the continued positive impact Kayla Williams is making off the Women of Troy bench and the big strides forward Rayah Marshall has made in the last few weeks. They also give Pac-12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player McKenzie Forbes her flowers after a 26-point performance in the championship game and discuss a very cool move from Watkins to spread the love to her teammates. The podcasting duo also takes a look at how the USC men were able to dominate a game against No. 5 Arizona despite being outrebounded, behind the all-around performances of Kobe Johnson and DJ Rodman. Their play has really opened things up for the Trojans, who are shooting free throws and defending at a clip better than they have done all season. Shotgun and Connor also look forward to this week's men's Pac-12 Tournament where the Trojans will take on Washington at noon on Wednesday with the winner advancing to face top-seed Arizona Thursday at noon.

Dedeaux Download: Assistant Andy Jenkins says Trojans have to fix problems with hard work

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the third week of action in the 2024 season -- one where USC baseball showed glimpses of the team it can be, but ultimately struggled to get in the win column. They break down USC's 1-4 extended week, which included three losses against top 10 opponents where the Trojans had leads in all three games. One of the big issues in USC's losses during the week and throughout the season has been their inability to play complimentary ball. Shotgun breaks down the Trojans' issues with getting shutdown innings after they score runs with the Trojans having only four 1-2-3 innings the half inning after scoring this season. USC assistant coach Andy Jenkins joins the Dedeaux Download Podcast to discuss how the coaching staff is trying to jumpstart a talented team that isn't playing with a ton of confidence after getting out of the gates slow. He talks about how the team has to continue to put in the hard work to be able to fix their problems and get the results they are looking for. Jenkins also breaks down his role on the staff as the third paid assistant, a position the NCAA just allowed for the first time this offseason, and his journey to arrive at USC after being a part of the group that helped kickstart Oregon State's program into a consistent College World Series contender and then starting his coaching career at his alma mater. After the visit with Jenkins, Shotgun and Jack look at where the Trojans stand and their woeful offensive statistics. Jack provides some breaking injury news as a key contributor looks to be out for an extended time going forward.

Ranking USC's transfer class in order of impact plus the removal of NIL rules

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the latest news and notes around the USC football program and discussing the newest major changes to the college football landscape. This offseason has been the most impactful in college football history with many of the historical NCAA rules getting shot down by the courts, the death of the Pac-12, blueblood programs switching conferences and Nick Saban retiring, leading to an extended coaching carousel that impacted football at all levels. The latest court ruling has essentially removed any and all Name, Image and Likeness rules from the NCAA, allowing collectives to provide any incentives that they want to players and prospects and the NCAA can't do anything about it. The USC athletic department was one of the few programs following those now illegal rules, so we talk about how this could impact the Trojans recruiting efforts going forward. The guys also take a look at USC's transfer portal class and rank all of the incoming players by potential impact on the 2024 roster.

Dedeaux Download: Andy Stankiewicz joins after USC gets off the schneid & grabs first series win

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the second week of action in the 2024 season -- one where USC baseball earned its first series win of the campaign. They break down USC's 2-2 week, which included the Trojans falling to 0-5 on the season before getting a walk-off win on an Ethan Hedges ninth-inning drive to the wall to beat Portland, 6-5. USC then built on its momentum the next day with a 10-4 win to take the series from a solid Pilots squad. After scoring only seven runs in the first five games, the 16 put up on the scoreboard in their two wins was a breath of fresh air for the Trojans, who mixed and matched lineups throughout the week as they continue to try to find the right combinations. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz joins the Dedeaux Download Podcast to discuss the week of action and the message he delivered to his team after they started 0-5 with everything seeming to go against them. The Trojans' second-year head coach also discusses USC's first weekend in their home away from home of Great Park in Irvine, Calif. where it is playing the majority of their weekend home games this season as Dedeaux Field is under reconstruction and not available. Stankiewicz also breaks down the players that have got off to a good start along with those that need to pick things up as USC heads into a difficult week with future Big Ten rival Michigan coming to town for a midweek matchup before the Trojans head to Globe Life Park in Texas to take on a pair of top 10 teams in TCU and Texas A&M. After the visit with Stankiewicz, Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the second week, see where the Trojans stand and look forward to the upcoming week of action.
