USC Buying It’s 2026 Recruiting Class a la A&M

Featured Replies

No.

On this week’s Talkin’ Ducks, George Wrightster said that USC’s collective is offering DT Tomuhini Topui $2M+ in NIL. For that much, George claimed that Oregon could pay both Matayo Uiagalelei and Teitum Tuioti.

They also are reportedly offering TE Mark Bowman a record $8-10M deal over 3-4 years.

Let’s hope it ends the same way for U$C and Riley as it did for Texas ATM and Jimbo.

It's about time the Trojans stopped crying, whining and blaming and put their money into the players they want in the program

Any nimrods, including the trojans can see the success Texas Tech has had on their investment.

As a Duck fan i would not be concerned until they have a high quality coach in place. However, the financial investment in players will continue to expand until there are the haves and haves not.

Thankfully, OBD's have both great resources and great coaching.

No.

How much did Beavis pay their great QB this year? UCLA?

You still have to be good at it…it’s just a different level of strategy.

And it’s ridiculous imo, USC has never struggled to attract talent. They have a coach and culture that doesn’t care about defense, that won’t change.

USC locked down three Mater Dai commits back in April and May, with some reported significant NIL assets (Bowman, Topui, and Scott).

Mater Dai had what for them was a bit of a down year. I of course don't follow the Trinity League that closely but the long time mod at the USC site Wildwest Sports (Java) does. His recent comments on the three?

"I said this team is overrated. They are undisciplined. They are ghetto.  And almost all the players that USC is getting I truly do not like... going 7-3 or 8-3 with that talent is embarrassing. Mater DEI should fire (head coach) Lara and USC should pull the scholarships of Bowman, Scott and the fat kid (Tupui) in the middle. Or let Bowman redshirt."

Who knows of course, but found it interesting given the fanfare going along with USC's class this year. 🤷‍♂️

No.

Don't give it a second of worry. USC is a mob of thugs who have no discipline, no coaching and will face a schedule next year that will make reality obvious even to them. Their administration is so screwed up, Riley will probably stay for another 5 years.

Well, the buyout is about the same.

They will not buy him out......the powers that be like him......and the powers that be probably will replace him someday with a female head coach.

They are so busy slicing cheese and drinking wine they don't even know what is going on at field level.

During the Oregon game, I forget quite a few things but one player charged the Oregon sidelines, one tried to jump over the center during a FG, two missed shorter field goals, about 10 face masks some of which were uncalled, they blocked into the rear leg of several of the Oregon players several times trying to cause injury, several unsportsmanlike penalties at the wrong time for them, Oregon runback showed USC players totally mispositioned etc etc.......

What an undisciplined mob!

and yet......they are telling themselves that they are improving. A bad joke. They were able to beat UCLA at home by a couple of scores......UCLA just got run off the field by Washington.

Wait til they play Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, Penn St, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Washington, Wisconsin next year. It ain't going to be pretty.

Lemon and Lane will probably go pro.
