USC's 2026 recruiting class has been all positive on the way to its No.1 rated class. But now with Xavier Griffin's de-commitment, some are questioning USC's strategy. Ever since Chad Bowden came aboard as USC's General Manage, he's made all the right moves, however, one rule might be coming back to bite the hand with the Midas Touch

Agree or disagree; consistency and discipline are more important than the optics of losing a recruit. I talk about the optics surrounding the decision that asks USC commits to shut down their recruitment.

In the final segment of the show, I take a look at the college football playoff future when it expands as well as who should be the game's first commissioner.

There is some speculation that USC is going to receive "significant recruiting news" soon. The question is what is the news and when will it happen, if at all? I have the details during the show's first segment and offer some thoughts on what to could be.

According to Anthony Jones, Jr., the Trojans have more options in the running back room in 2025 When I say down with Coach Jones recently he shared some insight about the room and what to anticipate this season from his guys.

There could be some big news when the B1G Conference kicks off their Media days in Las Vegas. July 22nd is still a couple of months away, but one team might be in trouble already with more bad news on the horizon.

USC's recruiting is going so well, they're getting commitments out of nowhere. For the 2nd day in a row, Rob Ryan's room added another linebacker to the 2026 class. The Trojans now have 28 commitments with the addition of Taylor Johnson's pledge. The young man is being recruited to play linebacker despite questions about his size. I have the details in the show's first segment.

Another Top 25 preseason poll came out and USC missed the cut again. However, I think I figured out why, and it has to do with the offensive side of the ball, but not where you'd look first.

USC found out what time it will kick off when they play at Notre Dame on October 18th. It's the 20-year anniversary of the Bush Push Game, and the game will be played under the lights.
