Yep, the other day both USC and Oregon had 10 verbals for 2026, but with the flip of Williams and a recent 4-Star defensive lineman to USC...the Ducks drop all-the-way in rankings to...

 

No. 2  (Long way to go!)

 

USC fans are always classy...

 

"We might be taking Oregon's lunch money this year with a couple of kids."

 

"This guy is the 13th best QB in the nation according to 247??? I would be willing to bet money that he ends up much higher when he puts pen to paper."

 

"It was clear then that he wasn't going to Oregon." - Tom Loy (This has the makings of a book title)

 

"USC gets a flip from an Oregon recruit? Hmm.. did Uncle Phil's check not clear?"

 

"Like shooting Ducks in a barrel."

 "Uncle Phil" jokes, really? USC is sounding a lot like UW here, and of the two, I expect more competition from the latter. 

The Bad News?  USC is recruiting fantastic

 

The Good News?  It is Lincoln Riley…😝

 

I always look at the average star ratings since the ratings rewards class size.  

Oregon is still #1 in average star rating (4.11) with a bunch of teams tied for second (4.0).

 

Quality over quantity.

The DL picking USC bothers me more, maybe the QB will go on to win the Heisman, doesn't mean the team will win anything. But. get enough Joe's on USC's defense and they could be a problem. 

As already expressed........the USC recruiting effort is becoming formidable.........and wins will be inevitable.......but.......the program has an iron ball wrapped around its ankles named Riley and it's going to be another couple years before that is corrected. 

Let the USuC fans rant away.

We will continue to just point to the scoreboard as we leave the field.

Just win, baby!
