Pretty lackluster McDonald’s All-American game. Even though the All-American game is a bad place to judge talent, this year’s squad was noticeably sub-par, especially compared to last year’s group. Tyreke Evans, the MVP of the game, was nice but I’ve always felt that he has a pretty average outside jumper. His handles, however, are simply…

Nothing like taking some batting practice at the Coliseum to break up the day.

USC head football coach Pete Carroll knows what he has to do to become the Wizard of University Park–Win Forever. “Trophies are nice, but we want to Win Forever,” said Carroll, who admittedly has never worn his championship rings and whose office doesn’t feature a single trophy. He often gives away the coach-of-the-year plaques and…

First impressions matter, even if the opening day of USC football spring practice was “just one day, with 14 more to go,” in the words of assistant head coach Steve Sarkisian. The 500 or so fans who showed up for the first workout saw a trio of quarterbacks rotate in with the first team. The top…

After a seemingly endless recess following the Rose Bowl Game against Illinois, the Trojans took to Howard Jones-Brian Kennedy Field Tuesday afternoon looking to begin preparations for a hopeful national championship run next season. The team looked sharp overall, showing no signs of a three month break.

Welcome to the opposite universe of Terrelle Pryor. The Pennsylvania super-recruit who strung out his college decision until last week is not a bad kid, just different than the clear-thinking Barkley. Mater Dei’s quarterback committed to USC in late January, during his junior year, 20 months prior to possibly stepping on the Coliseum floor for…

Pretty nasty. I’ve seen better from Demar, but those were still nice. The 2nd dunk in the video involved Malcolm Lee, who was acting like he was guiding a plane for take-off and Jrue Holiday who threw the alley-oop from the sidelines – both players are future Bruins. Watching the Kid ‘N Play version of…
