Clay Helton’s first recruiting class resembled a lot of games he coaches this season: USC fell behind early and then was forced to catch up. Lucky for Helton, Signing Day did not finish like the Stanford games.
Here’s my story on Signing Day, with comments by Helton. And here are my five impact players for next season, including Jack Jones (above).
Scott White UCLA LB/SP coach awarded Conf. recruiter of the year.. .on a side note Hunter Echols just committed to the Bruins!
#Nevertooearly
No side notes here. Just upfront facts. USC had the best recruiting class from the pac12 in three of the four services. Oh wait there’s more. The service that had us ranked lower (Scout) has USC with the highest average star per player. That’s in the nation. Last year we had the #1 class in the nation and tapped the Bruins a**. What happened? Remember what you said a few weeks ago? Who would have the better class?
AGAIN…SC HAD THE BEST CLASS.
Tell all your friends!
Well done!
lol.. .staying with facts #YesterdayU #1 recruiting classes get you 8-6 records and 5 coaches later are still claimming victory… .
#Facts
All true (except for the 5 coaches part)—–but it sure wasn’t safer to be from Westwood on the Saturday we played you…….
Okay how many coaches then?
#Justasking
During the 8-6 season you (and Sam Bam) referenced? Two.
Per CBS sports earlier today, Tee Martin is the 247 National Recruiter of the Year. FIGHT ON! ✌
Is that the site with a “crystal ball”… .
#Wegotstoknow
Just as a sort of reminder— in our first game against Stanford last season, we got way ahead and lost it late. And Helton wasn’t the head coach.
Scott…you suck!
Scott must be depressed with the way SC finished.
When will he ever admit that he was flat out wrong??? He said SC was having a “hard time giving out scholorships” – so that explains the highest average star rating in the country??? Obviously, and sadly, he has NO CLUE!!!
#WeWantAnApology
But he is dead on right about these continual yes continual high ranking USC recruiting classes not playing in championships or even the better bowl games. It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer does it…
2015 – 5-0 Pac12 South Champions, played for Pac12 Championship
This recruiting class didn’t resemble the game Clay coached against UCLA. In that one USC led from the outset and got stronger and stronger as the game went on.
In the game Clay coached against the ruins that I went to, the ruins led 7-3, 14-10 and 21-20 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter before SC scored three straight touchdowns . That was stronger and stronger, Jethrahrah??
Yes
Oh, buhhhhh-BAM!!!!!
Jezro??? Are you ok??
How any fingers am I holding up??
SAY SOMETHING!!
woIfman, i’d like to take this opportunity to COMMEND you for the fantastic job you did yesterday with the Live Chat….it was simply the most incredible display of stamina and acuity i have ever witnessed, perhaps matched only by Hillary’s triumphant Congressional Benghazi Hearing performance!!!
and SHE dint have to deal with a veritable schoolyard of immature trOXans!!
#WhatDifferenceDoesItMake??
Jackass its TROJANS! Now beat it #assclown
Oh MY!!! how FEROCIOUS you are!!!
ps: how did that Burton “lean” to trOXans work out???
#HAWR-HAWR
Don’t ever reply to this moron – he has:
a. 6 – 7 aliases
b. no life whatsoever
c. 24/7 il/elle
d. a pathetic fool with no career path save mocking USC
e. no women but yeah a lot of……
f. a TINGLY feeling all over his BODY!!
#AndIDOmeanALLoverIfYouKnowWhatImean!
C’mon Bucket. He wasn’t even there to answer questions half the time. Kinda like Hilary, having to sit for hours and telling everyone absolutely nothing. Even you had to get tired of the silly childishness that went on.
I think she just…,DREAMY
#sigh
yeah Bill thought so too 40 years ago. Now he likes interns and cigars in odd places.
The live chat yesterday was a cesspool of filth from many bruin posters
as opposed to a cesspool of sweetness and light??
#brilliant
Considering the drama USC went through,(some self inflicted), we did really well I’m very happy we got some great players and I think Josh Fatu is going to be a major contributor he was a great find!!. UCLA did very well also, I think they did better then what they expected, and that’s why the Troll’s are so giddy!, This will help the PAC 12 as a whole to be more competitive, Becouse everyone knows where the SEC stands with ESPN
2-issues concerning Scott’s article: #1 he says USC recruits USC and we hear this all the time. However, if USC football continues having 8 & 5 seasons, how long will USC successfully recruit USC in bringing in better talent who want to play for championships? Kids will see 8 & 5 records ongoing and it ain’t gonna cut it. #2 Scott is right about USC consistently recruiting better classes each year but the results show other programs with lesser talent, playing in better bowl games. It all begins with the AD. And that is where USC is underachieving. The problem is, the president & trustees don’t give a crap obviously or Haden would have been long gone by now.
