Episode 242: Hoop Nightmares and Mapping the 2019 Class

The podcast rundown reads "USC basketball isn't good again" and while that may be a harsh assessment of the Trojans three-game losing streak, it's certainly hasn't been an encouraging stretch from Andy Enfield and company.Your Rant Line calls kick off the discussion about what's wrong with USC basketball and what this season means for Enfield's job security.Switching gears to recruiting, Michael and Alicia look ahead to the 2019 recruiting class. How should USC divvy up scholarships for next year? Going position by position, each host gives an allotment for number of players to target and why, while also looking at key players for USC to target.Finally, dipping into the mailbag, Michael reads an email from J in Atlanta about USC hitting all the right notes in the 2018 recruiting class. What does the recent success in recruiting mean for the Trojans willingness to rotate? Will Clancy Pendergast in particular trust more of his players to see the field?
