Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans have officially perfected the art of recruiting and the official visit. I mean, let's look at everything they have done for the 2026 class, one that has them predicted to finish with the No. 1 class.
USC is doing it in different ways, too, because when you look at who they have committed, it's not that they are just the No. 1 class because they have a few five stars. They have one in tight end Mark Bowman, who just committed a few weeks ago, and then the rest of their class is pretty much built on high-end four stars
USC has 16 four-star players in this class. The No. 2 class in the LSU Tigers has six four stars, with two five stars and a few three stars. USC had 10 three stars, but not just any three stars, some of them are local kids, and others are kids who play very crucial positions that they will need.
But let's think back to his days at Oklahoma when he was getting the Sooners in the postseason — Lincoln Riley knows how to recruit, that's for sure. He's brought that to USC in a dramatic way, because you won't see many other schools, of any, doing what he's doing on official visits.
Trojans roll out the red carpet for recruits
When recruits are coming to their visit, they are being greeted in a fantastic way, and their families, and when that's the first thing that happens, it's easy to make the families feel like they are special, and it's certainly easy to remember that when making a final decision.
Because, let's be real, what other schools are rolling out a red carpet? It may not seem like a big deal, but think about this — these are kids, most of them not even seniors in high school yet.
Then USC has the cameras flashing to replicate the look of the paparazzi and the photographers. It's a little spin on things that go a long way for the Trojans. And let's not even get into what they're feeding these players, because no one else is giving them steak and lobster from Rex Steakhouse on top of a skyscraper.
But, that's a different story for a different day, especially when you see that Oregon is giving their players raw steak.
Former Trojan wants Lane Kiffin back at USC as the head coach
Former Trojans wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson knows who he wants hired to replace Clay Helton as the head coach at USC. Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. That's right. Johnson, who played for the Trojans from 1994-1995, said this week on ESPN that if Kiffin's Rebels manage to upset Alabama this weekend, then Kiffin should […]
