IMHO Sunday: Reading the fine transfer print

In my humble opinion, cardinal and gold thoughts on what I see, what I hear, and what I think from Los Angeles: The fine transfer print: For good reason, the USC Trojans are all fired up for the 2023 season, and the big concern is the defense, which was basically as lousy as the offense was brilliant in 2022. So, understandably, all transfer eyes have been on Trojans' head coach Lincoln Riley, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, and defensive line coach Shaun Nua (photo above) to do as much overhauling as possible, and, my goodness, did they need it. The defensive results from the transfer portal thus far have been received with positive acclaim both nationally and locally. Oh, and by the way, today (Sunday), is the last day of the second cycle of the two transfer portal windows. The fine transfer print – Part 2: Before the Trojans got the recent commitment and signing from nationally acclaimed defensive line transfer Bear Alexander, the Men of Troy early-on received the signatures from such notable D-line transfers as Anthony Lucas (Texas A&M), Kyon Barrs (Arizona), and Jack Sullivan (Purdue). All were being hailed as a major step to correcting USC’s frightening display of defense.
