    Two thoughts: 1) Darwin Barlowe proved that he deserved more touches every time he touched the ball. He was patient longer than most and I wish him the best. 2) If SC picked up Dillon Gabriel it would just be trolling at that point.

    People that are shocked Riley bringing in transfer QB just don’t follow college football. Riley almost always brings in a ready starter from the portal whether it’s been Mayfield, Murray, Hurts or bringing Caleb Williams to SC. He makes alot of other mistakes but no one finds QB’s for their system the way he does. That said, I’d like to prioritize some defensive players and give them the same attention and fly out to go see them.

    In 2024, there is a lot of reason to be optimistic about the defense in addition to the offense. Fingers crossed that Lynn can get the job done. He certainly did at UCLA, and in a very short time, having come in so late in the spring (February). This time USC already has him and he has been on the recruiting trail starting this week. With such a head start vs. the late start he had last year at UCLA I would say that Lynn’s prospects for a quick defensive turnaround at USC are very good!

    The best part about Caleb sitting for the bowl game is that we can actually see how Moss and Nelson perform. Wven if USC loses, im more interested in performance out of those two QBs. This season is shot and so I'm more interested for next year and how things will go.

    As much as i love these transfers, it just shows how little Lincant Riley & staff develops talents. Developing talent at both OU & now USC has always been a struggle for he & his staff. Not a recipe for long term success. I dont expect Lincant will last past nxt season, yes even with new DC D’Anton Lynn. I like this hire, the culture (physicality, accountability, discipline, playing the best, developing talent, keeping players focused, etc) all starts with the hear coach.

    Did u listen to Lincoln’s press conference today? He said part of the reason he hired Lynn is because he was willing to accept the non-negotiables of Lincoln’s philosophy on defensive front, mentioning specifically size.
    Which can be interpreted as he wants to continue to recruit those 275 lb defensive lineman because Lincoln who knows nothin about defense, values speed over size, toughness and strength.
    And he said Lynn agreed to accept that. So we are in BIG trouble again, as long as LR is our coach we will remain the same soft team and those are just the facts

    I don't trust Lincoln Riley. This most recent year the offensive players progressively got worse throughout the season. He doesn't develop players. I just can't defend him anymore.
    Moss or Nelson should be starting next year. They aren't ready because Riley doesn't play them. There were many times this past season they should've played but didn't. How can a player gain experience if he is never played? I can see Nelson entering the portal next year if he isn't played this year.
    Riley relies on the transfer portal too much. The lack of cohesion is a big problem with this team. If Riley wants to compete, recruiting is the best path to it.

      FSU got around 12 portal players last year. Overall, that isn't very much considering how many players there are on a team. So, the vast majority of players were recruits. (Keep in mind that I don't know how many of those players dressed.)
      Remember, Colorado brought in 51 players from the portal and flopped. I've noticed that the best teams in the country use the portal the least. They bring in a few players to fill in the gaps, but then rely on the recruiting to fill the team.

    The thing about trusting Lincoln is that he is trustworthy with qb’s that’s why there’s NO WAY Nelson/Miller aren’t enough. The problem is his game plan and play calling. Lloyd is going to be the first RB taken in the draft and he had less than 10 carries a game. One way to help your defense when it’s struggling a to run the ball and run time off the clock. But our video game OC masquerading as a head coach doesn’t seem to understand. So even with this guy it’s still going to be a mismanaged offense.

    Why are you covering this? Mostly, transfers are mercenaries here to showcase.
    Translation, they are guaranteed playing time, which destroys any sense of positional competitiveness.
    Regardless of effort, hard work, attitude or excellence displayed on the practice field, non transfers know their playing time has a low ceiling.
    These transfers have no interest in our university, its culture and tradition; they will never be Trojans or know what it means to be a Trojan.
    Riley needs to obtain players through recruiting exclusively. Players who’ve dreamed of wearing the Cardinal and Gold.
    The last thing we need are players prostituting their talent.
    Riley needs to get with The Program or get out.
