Inside the Trojans' Huddle: USC and the spring transfer portal
On this episode of Inside the Trojans’ Huddle, the WeAreSC panel dives deep into the opening day of the spring transfer portal window, looks at the final week of spring ball and ahead to Saturday’s spring game, and, of course, finished with Arledge’s Ten Questions.
Spring Ball
Another week of spring practice is in the books. The panel discusses what has been learned and what they are looking forward to seeing in Saturday’s spring game.
Transfer Portal
The panel looks at what to expect from the spring transfer portal, both in terms of USC adding and losing players. Should USC fans be concerned about what could happen over the next 15 days?
Recruiting
The group discusses when a star recruit is worth waiting for.
Julien Lewis is still committed but still talking as if his mind isn’t made up. There is still chatter that he’s interested in other landing spots. Meanwhile, other potential QB targets are coming off the board, such as Husan Longstreet from Centennial committing to Texas A&M. And we’ve seen this before. USC waited for Taylor Tatum before losing him to OU and not picking up a replacement. When should you pull the plug on a guy who you’re not sure is really committed?
Arledge’s Ten Questions
1. Predict the biggest splash for USC in the spring transfer portal.
2. What is the school that when you hear a blue chip prospect has committed to them, you always shake your head and wonder why?
3. Who will be the first member of USC’s current coaching staff to become a head coach?
4. Was Van Halen better with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?
5. What program has the best uniforms (can’t vote for USC)?
6. What is the best mobster movie?
7. Pick your Mt. Rushmore of USC defensive players.
8. I’d rather a flesh-eating virus consume me from the toes up than watch this again…
9. This song should be the theme song for the 2024 USC football season…
10. Tell me why the other guy should forfeit two of his current points.
