The USC Trojans entered late June with one of the best 2025 recruiting classes on college football. It’s suddenly taking a massive hit with five-star edge rusher Isaiah Gibson de-committing from the program on Tuesday afternoon. Gibson, rated by 247 Sports as the No. 1 edge rusher in the country, committed to USC on March 24. The decision came just a few days after he took an unofficial visit with the Georgia Bulldogs. Nearly three months later, Gibson has re-opened his recruiting process following an official visit to Auburn. Hayes Fawcett of On3.com first reported the news, with the 6-foot-5 edge rusher officially de-committing from the Trojans and opening up one of the most intense recruiting battles in the country. USC isn’t out of the mix for the prized edge rusher out of Warner Robins High School. Following his commitment, On3.com has the Georgia Bulldogs as a slight favorite (49.7 percent) followed by the Trojans in second at 43.2 percent. None of the other teams listed in the top five South Carolina, Auburn, and Oklahoma – are viewed as having higher than a 1.5 percent chance of landing him. GIbson’s decision comes at a time when there are already whispers that fellow five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry might decommit from USC. A Georgia native, On3.com’s recruiting prediction machine lists the Bulldogs as the favorites to land him at 36.9 percent with USC in second at 26 percent.

Good News: Oregon's secondary ranks among the best in the country after offseason additions 247SPORTS.COM After a season full of offseason additions to the secondary, the Ducks have one of the nation's best rooms, according to PFF. Bad News, No. 4 in BIG I'll still take it.

Candidate yes, but I don't necessarily wants to and he sure as heck has enough $$$ from being fired twice in the NFL and what his current gig pays. I also think D's have caught up with his O and he doesn't have any more rabbits in his hat/visor.

Yeah, Chip was out doing too much recruiting, glad handing boosters, making public appearances and not paying attention to his QBs or the O.

Come on Charles: take off the floaties, jump in the deep end; fill the glass two halves full and just say it . . . undefeated National Champs

I think comparing draft eligible and those that decided to remain might be the difference.

I think it has. 3 x 3 point losses due to a generational QB, NFL receivers, great OLine and great secondary vs our great QB, 1 NFL receiver, a great Oline, decent secondary, injured QB for 1 loss and questionable decisions for another and injuries (part of the game) for the 3rd. Ewe dubs cupboard is quite bare, our's NOT AT ALL. I see another great streak coming. Looking forward to my 90th birthday when we pull ahead in the series 64 - 63 after 16 straight.

Per CBS Sneaky-Good Commit: IOL Demetri Manning to Oregon If anyone needs any further proof that Dan Lanning is building an SEC-like program out West, look no further than Manning's commitment. Kirby Smart has done his best to hoard mass at Georgia, and his protege Lanning is starting to do the same at Oregon. Three-star lineman Demetri Manning, who picked the Ducks over Washington and Miami on June 11, is one of the largest prospects that we have come across in the 2025 cycle as he tips the scales at just over 6-foot-6, 345 pounds. He's going to need to melt down and get the body right once he arrives on campus, but Oregon could potentially pair him up front with another monster of a human in Class of 2024 signee JacQawn McRoy (6-foot-6, 365 pounds) at some point down the line.

NBA all-time great Jerry West dies at age 86 - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Jerry West, a three-time Basketball Hall of Famer whose silhouette is considered to be the basis of the NBA logo, has died at age 86.

Per 24/7 Manning is a massive offensive lineman prospect and one of the most physical players in the region. He plays with an edge and the kind of nastiness you love to see in the trenches. He's violent with his punch and is a finisher. He's not content just shadowing an opposing lineman but wants to bury him in to the ground. He's pushing 6-7 and 345 pounds and has a ton of length with an 83" wingspan. For his size, Manning moves well, plays a lot of left tackle at the HS level. He could play the right tackle spot in college but we like him long term as an interior lineman and he has all the traits to be an outstanding guard and a multi-year starter. He can fire out of his stance, plays with sound technique, uses his hands well and his feet are always moving. He has a huge a lower half and does a nice job anchoring and once he's set, you're not pushing him backward. He's a dominant run blocker, strong at the point of attack and can get to the second level. Manning can cave in a whole side of a defensive line by himself and he's a true enforcer type who seems to find joy in punishing an opponent. As mentioned, he moves well for his size but would love to see him lean out a bit and if he was able to play closer to 330, the improvement in quickness would take his game to another level. His ceiling is high and if he continues to develop at his current rate, there is no doubt he has an NFL upside to him." - Greg Biggins, national recruiting analyst

Without the sting.

Looks like Washington built their wall at the northern border.

Seriously, I wouldn't even let them in the house EVEN IF they were potty trained (which isn't likely)!

What do you call when 100 attorneys are buried up to their necks? A good start!

Ugly stepchild, once removed.

The article reads: A national title-winning college basketball team has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. N.C. State's 1983 national title-winning men's college basketball team has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, wanting past earnings when NIL wasn't legal. Members of the 1983 team, led by legendary head coach Jim Valvano, are claiming that the NCAA "systematically and intentionally misappropriated the Cardiac Pack's publicity rights ... without the players' consent and while paying them nothing." The lawsuit was filed by Stacy Miller of the Miller Law Group. There are thousands - millions, maybe - of former college athletes who would have benefited tremendously from Name, Image and Likeness being in place when they were in school. N.C. State's 1983 team is obviously part of that group. The Wolfpack's national title-winning team was one of the most popular in the country at the time. However, it seems like a stretch to file a lawsuit against the NCAA, given everyone was aware and accepting of the situation at the time. It'll be fascinating to see how this all plays out." When will the madness stop? If I was still practicing law, I would hope never. But since I am a fan, NOW!
