USC Made A Huge Move In The Portal

[@catsailor8621]

Wow! What Kamari said has a way of Lifting the Trojan Spirits in us fans! Thank You Kamari Ramsey and Welcome Back to the House❣️ 💪🤗🍻 And Let’s Fight On‼️ ✌️✌️✌️

[@scottklase]

💯 percent with you Marc on the Bowl Game roster; play all the Freshman

[@duncanidaho2097]

Yeah I think “redshirting” is going away. You have to play your young guys to give them reason to stay.

[@TrojansFirst]

Being an SC fan can be a roller coaster experience. Just when we are beginning to feel hopeless Ramsey returnrs, Pregnon returns, Silver transfers in. Now I can see a path for an IMPROVED USC team in 2025. Still need a few more players, especially an OT, LB, and another DT.

[@FredVlasuk]

Very nice! A true big and I mean BIG body..Great start. Need about four more on both lines. Awesome about Kamari coming back and of courses Pregnon. Let's keep it going. And we'll see how it translates starting next September. No more 'Were going 11-1 anymore. We will wait and see how this plays out. No more over hyping or getting too excited. What they do on the field will determine everything. But I am cautiously optimistic stic.. Things are looking up a bit and that's a good thing..

[@Trojanmanno1]

Another excellent report. Gotta get those stud players. We got a lot of re-tooling to do.

[@fredtheveteran4623]

Things are starting to look up for us✌️ keep rolling! Alabama has been paying all their players for years! I wish I was rich I would first help the Homeless and Sick then after that I would give to the USC players unfortunately I'm a Disabled War Veteran who lives paycheck to paycheck! I want to thank all the donors though for their support

Former SEC freshman all American Saftey and current AP 3rd team All American Jalon Catelon UNLV just entered the TP. He's a carbon copy of Kamari Ramsey. 96 tackles 61 solo 5 ints 1 FF 4 PD'S. He's a more physical and athletic version of Ramsey, a (Ronnie lott) like Hammer. Go look at his Arkansas film. He's coming off his best season. If USC could get him and pair him with Ramsey at safety they would have the best Safety combo in college and it wouldn't be close. Catalon is a ball hawk and his best attribute is a run stopping safety.

[@frunkdup828]

Agree - get these young RBs some snaps ✌️

[@lawrencesmith9059]

So it turns out that RL actually was making the right changes. Addition by Subtraction. Your roster has a price and you have to allocate the resources to players that perform. So we pulled money from players that are simply not performing, or want too much money, but we are investing the money into our current roster retention (where we need it) and into select transfers that are needed. Even though Josh Henson probably chose to move on, I think Riley is not disappointed. Josh failed to deliver a good o-line at the beginning of the year. Zach is going to improve the development of players. He will attract better talent because he relates to the players better. We still need to get a few more good players from the transfer, but the team is NOT falling apart. The key to the season is that our first 5 games are not against top teams. This gives us the ability to give younger players a chance to compete for starting positions. This will be a VERY young team. I would rather have a young talented team, with a higher ceiling. The schedule is our friend. Disagree 100% with the one year contract concept. WRONG. You cant develop depth if you keep taking players from the portal to play. If you have good coaches, you CAN develop from within. Our o-line will prove this. Yes, you take a select number of high-performance players from the portal, but you cant load up on experienced, but mediocre players over talented young guys on your roster.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure on Twitter or the other day. I saw Lightfoot committed to Colorado.

[@duncanidaho2097]

I’ve been a Trojan FB fan (and college football) since the OJ era. With the pay-to-play rules and transfer portal chaos creating student athletes as opportunists searching for the most $$, transferring every year, and destroying any player and fan loyalty of colleges. I respect the players who committed to Southern Cal and staying for sure. USC has looked totally lost in the new reality, as other schools have. Who would have thought that U of Oregon would use their tech billionaire boosters would throw such $$ at top players to creat a mercenary team that is playing for the college football “championship?” Nothing like rooting for players who played last year and wondering where they are this year. This is an ungodly mess and I cannot even watch college fb anymore, just as I cannot watch the Packers or the Jets or the Broncos. Nothing to create loyalty, to schools, players, or fans.

[@jasonn7431]

I feel you. I'm a die hard USC fan through and through. Coach LR makes me very upset sometimes. But I get it, coming from a program where he had a lot of success to actually having to build and retool a program can really separate a fan base. Especially looking at how much success Sarkisian is having a Texas even Lane is doing better at Ol'Miss. I hate the fact that kids can just transfer but I do like the fact that they can make a few dollars for themselves. The portal money should be capped at each level. Meaning 5 star athletes gets the same amount no matter what school they choose. That amount should be available for every school. So the small schools won't be left out. 4 star bracket and 3 star bracket. The two major ranking systems should be leveraged out to get the total ranking. So there is no denying what star ranking a kid is. If they transfer out, they should forfeit all earning or pay it back to the school they transferred from and sit out a year unless the transfer is for medical or a proven family reason. Or their grades are not hacking it. NCAA needs rules in place to bring the fun of watching our favorite schools play on Saturdays and beyond. ✌️FIGHT ON!!

[@duncanidaho2097]

@-You make some worthy points, sir. The NCAA has to impose some rules dealing with this new chaotic situation.

[@gendaminoru3195]

I'm sorry, I wasn't stupid crazy upset, and this doesn't make me look silly either. My arms are more folded than ever now. I need to see us do things that give us the best probability of achieving our goals. There is still a longer path to that than we had a few years ago. We are not helping ourselves. Some optimism improved with the departure of Dr.Dolt who paid more lip service to the program and bought into just throwing money at it, wish she left something for NIL instead of all at CLR and staff. Also still not sure what Cohen even thinks and desires. We'll see. Dodge Charger University??? LOL ROTFLMAO

[@stevenross3600]

Agreed, Gentry back plus Ramsey/Perrgnon coming back are positive developments but only blips on the radar versus the Big Picture . Not to be the Grinch here but the 19 transfers, inability to hold onto or develop our top recruits, after the last 2 seasons and poor team management via hires on D or Oline the program is headed the wrong direction

[@patrickwelch1010]

Marc it is time for a show many may like some dislike. In today's nil world it makes sense . It may be proactive. LR talked about the "pro model" they went to the nfl for how to deal with it. Each player and position is given a value. Qb, wide receivers etc. that then is where the money flows. Some are told their productivity is only worth x dollars. It all makes sense to me now why some have left even Duce. I suspect he was told based on productivity he was worth llX. Same for the brothers. Same for the bear. You can like it or not but it makes sense on how to manage this nonsense .

[@Pontosports35]

GOOD that’s where NIL should go to coach Henny usc has always had skilled players & it hasn’t led to championships. Thats why Riley didn’t pay Duce branch & Joyner Riley saw & knows that to win the big 10 usc has to build the trenches. Until usc gets more money for the nil they have to focus on the big boys ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

Ya, and Mason Cobb is a first rounder 😂 our LB situation has been in awful shape for years and if we now accept EG as one of the best players on the team, our standards at that position have drastically deteriorated.

I think Riley is waiting to see who leaves before getting players out of the transfer portal . But we still need to fill a lot of positions we have only picked up 3 players with two more staying . We probably need another dozen players from the portal ; two more on the OL , another QB . a punter and a kicker . In the defense, two more on the DL , three LBs , one or two edge rushers and three DBs .

[@bobspringer3372]

It’s not that dire. We NEED another QB, a WR, 1-2 LBs, 2 DBs We could use 1-2 DLs, and another 1-2 DBs. Anything else would be gravy.
