USC Isn't Done With Transfer Portal!

April 29, 2024 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MB

USC filled one of its needs when they got a commitment from a former Auburn WR, and with only a few days left before the window closes, Lincoln Riley isn't done. The question remains, is USC looking for specifically? The Trojans had a good week when Reggie Bush got his Heisman Award back and Caleb Williams was selected No. 1 overall in the NFL draft. So with the official visit starting too soon, what does it all mean in the short-term? The show's third segment examines USC's defensive player...

What Does USC's Transfer Portal Need?

April 26, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB

USC has some very specific transfer portal needs. But what does USC need to do differently to secure those guys from the transfer portal?  While Lincoln Riley is in Detroit with Caleb Williams for the NFL Draft, Coach eric Henderson is hosting an official visitor. I talk about the Trojans big week of Reggie Bush's Heisman being returned being capped off with USC's 6th No. 1 overall draft pick and how it will benefit the program. Friday's Rant has a memo to the the college players using the...

Eight Is What Makes USC Great!

April 25, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MB

 Reggie Bush got his Heisman Trophy back which means USC got its 8th Heisman Trophy returned to Heritage Hall. The Heisman Trust decided to forego the NCAA and did the right thing with the support of nearly everyone, including former Heisman winners. There aren't too many days left before the transfer portal window closes. One elite defensive lineman that USC almost signed out of high school has jumped in and I tell you why the Trojans could be his next landing spot. #usc #uscfootball #tra...

The USC Transfer Portal Is Tripping!

April 24, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

You're a Trojan for life. USC WR turned UCLA WR Kyle Ford is back wearing the Cardinal & Gold. Ford admitted he made a mistake and wants to finish his college eligibility as a Trojan. I explain why his return makes sense for multiple reasons. During the show's second segment, I give an update on who USC is looking at for two positions of importance. The offensive and defensive line have some targets that Josh Henson and Eric Henderson are considering. The mens' hoops team was also busy bui...

Who Will Be Starting And Where Are The Portal Players

April 23, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

With spring camp closed I'm going to start reviewing each position group. In the show's first segment, I analyze the QB situation. Miller Moss will be the starter when the Trojans take on LSU. but who will be the starter at the end of the year? I explain why the competition remains open. The transfer portal window is closing in a week and the roster still has some significant needs to fill. When the portal closes will the right guys be available, or is the coaching staff going to take their...

USC's Spring Game Had A Defensive Vibe

April 22, 2024 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MB

The Trojans played their spring game and when it was over the defense left everyone feeling a little bit better. Coach Lincoln Riley talked about his vibe and the team's performance, I have his reaction and mine as well. USC's defense generated 5 turnovers with the secondary doing most of the stealing. But on offense, it was the running backs and the offensive line flashing the team's physical attitude. And USC welcomes Big Mike Williams back to the program. BMW joins the staff and will wo...

Let's Start Taking The Portal Serious

April 19, 2024 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MB

The transfer portal continues to be a hot topic for USC fans and it's hard to tell who's taking things seriously. The fans expect instant results regardless of timing or cost. Some of the players entering the portal are asking for above-market prices, but should USC's collectives be prepared to pay the above sticker price? Spring camp will officially close after Saturday's spring game, but I have notes from the team's final practice before they play inside the Coliseum in front of fans. Fr...

Transfer Portal Wars!

April 18, 2024 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

The Trojan War happened a long time ago, but today's USC Trojans are involved in a war over the transfer portal. In this episode of Locked On USC, I explain the battles the coaching staff is involved with and the significance of winning these transfer battles against other blueblood programs. To the Victors Go The Spoils.--The show's 2nd segment is focused on the prized players USC is focused on. And then I wrap up the portal war by explaining what it all means to the high school recruits....

USC Opened It's Portal Doors

April 17, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MB

The transfer portal arrived, and USC opened its doors, meaning players can leave. On day 1, there wasn't much going on while everyone waited for the first commit or the next to leave, but Lincoln Riley was asked about what happens if more players decide to add to their names. I'll tell what he said and he told the team. How many wrs will Coach Riley add with only 7 guys available? I have a list of a few potential guys and why they make sense. #usc #uscfootball #transferportal #Trojans #cfp...

This Is A Massive Transfer Portal Week For USC

April 15, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

This is a huge week for USC football. The Trojans will close out the week with their annual spring football game at the Coliseum. But in between then, the spring transfer window will open, and Coach Riley talked openly about his portal and how to use it best. Doug Belk took over as USC's secondary coach during the offseason and he has one freshman who is starting to stand out with the rest of the room. Marcelles Williams grew up around the program watching his older brother Max play, so he ...

USC's Defensive Line Will Play Through Your Heart

April 12, 2024 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Lincoln Riley saved Bear, however, the transfer portal is taking Jason Zandamela. It was announced that the true freshman offensive lineman who has been on SC's campus for a few months is homesick. I have the details and my own perspective. Coach Shaun Nua talked about the defensive line and how the're anticipating to play this season, and Lincpoln Riley explained how this week's meeting with Bear Alexander went. #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #cfp #collegefootballplayoffs #recruiting #millerm...

USC Got Who It Wanted

April 11, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

Coach Lincoln Riley, Eric Henderson, Bear Alexander and everyone involved had a meeting. When everything was said and done, Bear sent a message that he wants to chase a natty. I have the latest update on Bear Alexander and the transfer portal story. By keeping Bear on the roster for another season, USC and Lincoln Riley keep the perception going that the enthusiasm to play defense at USC is real. I also have a men's basketball update in the show's 3rd segment. #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #...

The Transfer Portal Countdown Has Begun

April 10, 2024 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

USC is just a handful of practice days away from their upcoming spring game and a new-look defense. The spring transfer portal opens in less than a week, and news broke when Bear Alexander's name came up. I have the latest information and where things stand. Lincoln Riley's 2025 recruiting class got another commitment. A speedy and versatile wide receiver from Baltimore City College in Maryland. Plus, I'll tell who the next big DL commit could be, sooner, rather than later. The show also h...

What's Developing With The Offensive Line?

April 09, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

Since Lincoln Riley and JoshHenson took over USC they've recruited 10 offensive linemen from the high school ranks. But so far, there are no commits in the 2025 recruiting cycle yet. Is it because of poor development or because the room is so young? However, the transfer portal is part of the equation too. Matt Entz continues to impress each time he speaks with the media. He was on the Trojans Live radio show this week and I'll tell you what he said and what it could mean. Eric Musselman l...

Name A program Hotter Than USC Right Now!

April 08, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MB

USC had another great recruiting weekend and it's partially because running back coach Anthony Jones is making a quick impact. I have the rundown on the running back prospects who are committed and what's up next. During the show's second segment, I review Lincoln Riley's opinion of the offensive line room. Coach Riley was blunt with his words and I'll tell you what he said and what it all means. As well as the linebackers, Is there a new face to keep an eye out for? USC's strength and con...

USC Has That Special Sideline Vibe Again!

April 05, 2024 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

USC's practice sidelines are starting to have that Pete Carroll vibe again. When Coach Carroll was running the program, recruits, former players, and celebrities roamed the sidelines with the fans. The fans aren't back, but the recruits, former players, and hip-hop rap stars are back, and that's good news for USC football. The show's second segment discusses the defense including a focus on the linebackers and secondary. Coach Matt Entz and Eric Gentry offered their thoughts, and I have som...

Pick A Number For USC's Defense In 2024

April 04, 2024 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

USC's defense in 2023 ranked 123rd out of 130 teams that play football at the FBS level. During the first segment, I have some statistics that illustrate how much the Trojans will need to improve in 2024 if they want to compete in the playoffs and for a national championship. Miller Moss vs Jayden Maiava and the quarterback competition has been quietly going on without much fanfare. Will Lincoln Riley name his QB1 at the end of the spring camp? ESPN's rationale for its top 25 makes no sens...

Any Day That Ends In A "Y" Is A Winning Day For USC

April 03, 2024 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

It feels like every day you wake up USC is getting another commitment. It happened again on Tuesday when the secondary added another prospect to its 2025 recruiting class. Plus there's more recruiting news in the first segment. The Trojans have completed 7 of their 15 spring practices and I tell you what I saw with a complete practice report.

The Trojans recruiting train picked up more momentum when top 100 prospect Matai Tagoa'i committed picking USC over Georgia, Oklahoma,, and Oregon, among many others. I tell you why he picked the Trojans and who could possibly be next.

There are a few options, including one who arrives this summer. The USC basketball season is officially...

USC football had another productive recruiting weekend.

Lincoln Riley Is Getting Physical With The Players

March 29, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

The Trojans have completed 5 of their 15 spring practices and I have all the notes & quotes, plus some video after attending the team's practice. I also explain Lincoln Riley's new physical side of his coaching skills as he continues to be more involved on the defensive side of the ball. Plus Eric Henderson explains why his recruiting pitch is easy and real.

Can USC's Recruiting Momentum Be Stopped

March 28, 2024 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

USC's recruiting momentum is leaning in the right direction after a solid weekend that saw its class ranking move up 15 spots to No. 3 in the nation. There are more visits coming up throughout the spring and into the summer. Who are 3 "Must have" recruits on each side of the ball that the staff needs to bring in? And now that USC's NIL program is functioning at full capacity, is there any way to stop USC's recruiting success going forward? #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #calebwilliams #bears #...

March 26, 2024 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

It's too soon to put Eric Henderson in USC's top-10 list of best recruiters, but he's not far from getting there. I explain why spring recruiting looks great, but there is still a long way to go before we say he's the best. How many defensive playmakers does USC have on its roster and are there enough? That's the show's second segment topic. In the 3rd segment, I explain what Coach D'Anton Lynn means by being an "obnoxious talkers." #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #calebwilliams #bears #chicago...

USC Football Recruiting Has Exploded

March 25, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MB

All three segments talk about USC's weekend recruiting explosion, with a little bit of some team practice news filtered in. To say that USC's football program had a great recruiting weekend would be an understatement. When Saturday's practice started the Trojans had the No. 18-rated recruiting class in the country. By the end of the unofficial visit recruiting weekend, USC had the No. 3 rated class when 5 of the top defensive recruits in the country pledged to Lincoln Riley with some assist...

USC held its annual NFL Pro Day this week with all 32 NFL teams in attendance, as well as the NFL Network, and a big scrum of media and guests. Caleb didn't do anything to hurt his chances of securing the No. 1 overall selection. After the session's competition, the participants spoke with the media, and Williams allowed me to ask the last question.  In the show's second segment, I address the concern about a potential Ju Ju Lewis de-commitment that is "likely to happen."

USC Spring Camp Observations Day 1

March 20, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

The first day of spring camp was as close to perfect as perfect could get. The weather, the new coaching energy, plus Ronnie Lott, and Mark Sanchez helped usher in USC's new and old players. The size & weights on the roster can't fully explain the difference between this year's squad and last year's.

USC's Spring Camp Is Open For Business!

March 18, 2024 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

There is no more waiting! USC opens spring camp in one day and I'll be there to cover everything allowed. During the show's first segment, I'll let you know what I'll be looking for in the first couple of days. A lot has with the USC football program in the last 20 years. The Trojans won a national championship 20 years ago when they opened their season with a win on the road at a neutral site game. Can history repeat itself 20 years later when USC and LSU kickoff in Las Vegas to open the s...

USC Hoops Season Ends Before Spring Camp

March 15, 2024 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

The team was healthy for the last few weeks of the season and was riding a 4-game winning streak, but the USC men's basketball team threw up a dud to end the season with a 70-49 loss to the Arizona Wildcats in the 2nd round of the final Pac-12 tournament. A season with so much anticipation ends with the Trojans first losing record since 2019.  The show transitions right into football and the upcoming spring camp that opens following the weekend. The defensive secondary is the topic, and I e...

Recruits Are Coming & Another Win

March 14, 2024 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MB

USC football and USC basketball paths are crossing. The football team is less than a week away from opening spring camp which means recruits will be visiting. I have an update on which players are locking in their official and unofficial visits from the state of Texas. The men's basketball team won their 1st round game against Washington and is set up to face Arizona again in round 2. If the Trojans want to wear Cinderella's slipper, it will mean beating the Wildcats for the 2nd time in les...

Answering The Biggest Offseason Questions

March 13, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MB

Now that the winter conditioning workouts are over and an Etch-n-Sketch depth chart has been released, there are still many questions left to be answered. In the first segment, I focus on the defensive line's biggest questions and things to look for. And we turn the ball over to the offensive line during the 2nd segment. Plus, in the show's third segment, I review Easton Mascarenas-Arnold's 1st Vlog entry as a member of the USC Trojans. It's a funny but informative look into a day in Easton...

USC's See Me Now Players In 2024

March 11, 2024 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

When people think of Lincoln Riley, offense, is the first thing most people will say. After last season's 8-5 finish, Coach Riley said, he wants to make every decision with the defense in mind first, and some will say, "When pigs fly."-- I have a list of "see-me-now defensive players for the new coaching staff that need to look up and see. After the Georgia and Texas quarterbacks, who else should be in the way-too-early Heisman discussion? I explain why Lincoln Riley and Miller Moss will be...

Making USC's Special Teams Special Again!

March 11, 2024 04:00 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MB

As spring camp 2024 approaches, the question about USC's special teams inevitably surfaces. Lincoln Riley does not believe in a full-time special teams coach, however, he does have a full-time analyst and some really good players that can make the Trojans a potent team. The men's and women's basketball teams played the other night.-- The women were in Las Vegas for their first-round win over the Arizona Wildcats. And at Galen Center, the men beat ASU. The men will finish their regular seaso...

Who Will Be USC's Best Player?

March 07, 2024 11:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB

For the past two seasons, there wasn't any doubt, Caleb Williams was USC's best player. So who is the best player on the 2024 roster? During the first segment, I throw a few names onto the discussion table. Winter workouts are almost over with spring camp less than two weeks away. One right of passage that will help the team "remember this day" is when they have to run up and down each step of the Coliseum. Lincoln Riley leads his team before they start and finish one of their toughest test...

Is It Ignorance Or Just USC Hater-Ade?

March 06, 2024 11:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

I'm hearing different opinions regarding USC's chances in 2024, and I'm trying to figure out if the lack of respect is born out of ignorance or just plain USC hate. As USC moves into the B1G Conference, they'll need to change a mindset that believes the Trojans' best days are behind them. The 2024 recruiting class is filled with talented and high-character young men, so it makes it hard to pick just one favorite recruit. This episode's Favorite Recruit Of The Week is offensive lineman Makai...

Any USC Spring Camp Issues Left?

March 05, 2024 11:00 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MB

USC and Lincoln Riley made it official, Anthony Jones Jr., is the newest staff member and will coach the running backs. That completes the coaching staff, but does that mean there are no more concerns left heading into spring camp?  Kalolo Ta'aga is a relatively unknown offensive lineman and also a member of the 2024 recruiting class. He is also this week's Favorite Recruit of the Week. "Lolo" was a basketball player first, but he tried football for the first time as a junior in high school...

How Long Should It Take To Name A RB Coach?!?!

March 04, 2024 11:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MB

You have to walk before you can run. But you also need a running back coach before you can teach the guys to run the ball effectively.It's been nearly two weeks since Coach Riley started his search for Kiel McDonald's replacement.--I have the information on how much longer it could take. During the show's second segment, I explore the different recruiting possibilities for USC's 2025 recruiting class. Everything is in place for Lincoln Riley to have a successful 2025 recruiting cycle. I al...

Miller Moss Is The Most Interesting QB In The Country

March 01, 2024 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

Miller Moss has had one career start at USC, and in that start, Moss threw 6 touchdowns and 374 yards against one of the better defenses in the country, and in the bowl game. Moss is on some offseason lists, including the Top 10 Most Interesting QBs in 2024, and early Heisman odds. During the show's 1st segment, I break it all down. Both USC's basketball teams played on Thursday night, but only one was victorious. I praise the women and lament the men who blew another double-digit point lea...

Who Can Be USC's Aaron Donald

February 29, 2024 11:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Everyone knows that the former LA Rams defensive line coach Eric Henderson is coaching at USC in the same capacity. Coach Henderson helped develop Aaron Donald into a sure-fire NFL Hall of Famer. But Donald was a lightly regarded, and at the time, considered undersized recruit out of high school who developed into who he is today. Does Coach Henderson have anyone similar to what Donald was in college on the Trojans roster?  Should I be concerned about the USC running back room's depth? I ex...

Caleb Williams, True Or False

February 28, 2024 11:00 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MB

The NFL is holding its combine this week and eight Trojans are looking to impress a future employer. Caleb Williams is the highest-profile player and analysts are releasing their strength & weakness lists. I ask if the criticisms are true or false and offer my opinion. The show's second segment looks at Coach D'Anton Lynn's slow install philosophy that he has planned for spring camp. And in the 3rd segment, I highlight one of this week's Favorite Recruit of the Week, Braylon Conley. The def...

USC Is Playing With A Chip On Its Shoulder

February 27, 2024 11:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

In this episode of Locked On USC, I give my impression of Lincoln Riley’s most recent interview where he talks about being aggressive and playing with an edge. I call it a chip on their shoulder after being embarrassed in 2023. And what becomes of the traditional Rose Bowl now that USC is in the B1G Conference? During the 2nd segment, I introduce my Favorite Recruit Of The Week, Lorenzo Cowan, the Edge/LB from Savannah Georgia. USC is getting another solid prospect from the SEC recruiting a...
