Don't sign any five stars. Don't sign even one top 100 rivals player. Think that's a first.
Did they not get them because of the NIL problem? maybe.
Overall I like the class. Even if it's got a whole lot of 3 stars. Lots of potential, but no obvious game changers.
Don't see many drama guys that are going to up and leave after a year if they don't get immediate playing time.
Still need a beast at linebacker for this season. One more chance with the portal.
top 12 teams make the playoffs. SC's class is ranked 18th, last time I checked.
ps. Oregon top five class didn't sign any rivals five stars either. a lot more 4 stars.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sc
Rivals sucks....not the Gold standard anymore...might as well use ESPN for your Top 100...and I do beleive USC has more than a solid class...they got a few gems.. like WIlliams the Corner and the big DE Fountain from Georgia who ate up the five stars at the AA game he practiced Zendameja(sp) who was the best interior linemen in the country at a position of need...add Jordan the WR who is better than Pellum who Rivals rated higher ( which is a joke) and Jones the big DT from Texas...
Is it signing day today? Damn, I didn't even know it. I remember it was a big deal as recently as the Jim Mora era at UCLA, but with the early signing period and then the transfer portal and now NIL, I don't even know when it is anymore until it happens.
Despite being a lousy head coach, I used to look forward to seeing Neuheisel's signing classes because they were always really good. And Chip Kelly has been such a horrible recruiter it has just completely turned me off to the whole thing.
And the portal...and NIL...don't get me started.
Yep, Oregon doesn't want the 5* "me me" players you typically would find at USC.... 😉
BTW who actually looks to Rivals as a hotbed of recruiting info or for accurate recruiting rankings? 🤣
Alabama signed 5-stars. He he
