Most disappointing usc player so far

Tie. obviously korey foreman.

but to me it’s height.

ok you get tossed in game 1. Bad luck. But now injured. One of their top big men. Position of need. Man has some bulk to him. Auburn guy. toughness. And he lasts one quarter first game and about the same yesterday.

people talk about usc and lack of size and defensive success last two games. Take those two large bodies and insert the production expected? I bet usc d looks a touch better.

Foreman can't play....two coaching staffs think so

Boogie Ellis. Started strong and then kind of faded. I expected more.

Explain to me why Korey Foreman has been such a huge bust so far. He was ranked the best player in the country when USC recruited him. Will he step up?

I’m guessing his senior year being wiped out by COVID meant we didn’t see how he wasn’t the number 1 guy.

last year he bulked up and had helton and Orlando’s last year.

thisbyear he’s skimmed down and yet another new d.

mix that in with some people openly questioning his desire and work ethic and you might have a 4-5 year player who just winds up being average

Don’t get me started on Pili. He has the size and measurables but no desire or heart . He has not improved a bit since he arrived at SC. No motor and is lazy on the field. He frustrates me more than any other player

Height has an injured arm that he re-aggrevated yesterday. It's been bothersome and he's practiced and played through it. But according to what I've seen he's not that big...6'4-5" and 235 pounds isn't large IMHO...in fact Foreman at 245 isn't that big anymore....but neither has shown much in two games and the pass rush hasn't been there from what I saw yesterday....good thing that turnovers are coming in bunches..

I thought height was an olb. If so 235 is plenty big. If he’s an interior linemen then no. Even as a mlb that’s big these days

plays the same position as Foreman DE/OLB....both are more like rush ends then LBers IMHO...

Well if he has to dropni to coverage or run pursuit 235-245 seems right. No way you want a guy 260+ chasing people around the field or trying to beat someone to the corner

More opportunities for Solomon Byrd, Solo T, Taleni, Barquet, Simon, et al. Good thing Riley loaded up on the transfers. Would like to see what Raesjon Davis can do.

Solomon Byrd had a solid game yesterday. Don’t know what’s happening with Barquet. Not sure if he even played .

I think Blackmon is pathetic. He gets PI's every game. Didn't he have 4 yesterday??

Java remember Bruce and Clay Matthews. They both played 20 Years in the pros and I don’t remember either one ever missed a game with an injury and Clay was a in a high injury position linebacker. A lot of it is genes. Some players just don’t get hurt and others are brittle. When I asked one of my doctors what the best thing I could do for my health, he laughed and said pick the right parents. Height just might be brittle . LOL

That's funny. I went to a doc a couple years ago and did the same. I got all these glowing reports back and asked what I was doing right. My cholesterol was a little high and I asked if it was this or that. And he was like not really. it's mostly genetics. I'm like that's it?

So he pretty much said the same. I am like ok, so all this exercise I do and eating right (ok, I don't. I gained 3 lb yesterday watching football, I am horrified), none of that matters? He's like "well it's good and it doesn't hurt. I am just saying the top thing on the list are your genes and lucky you"

That was both enlightening, encouraging and frustrating.
