Vegas agrees with you. DK has USC at 7 wins.

I live in LA, and I just want to enjoy listening to LA radio tear USC apart again, like the schadenfreude glory days of Lane Kiffin.
The higher the fall of Riley, the more tasty and delicious my schadenfreude shall be.
Beyond that, USC is of no use to me.

I live in LA too. A colleague of mine is a avid USC alum. He has been upset for two years about Riley keeping Grinch employed. His take was Grinch alone was responsible for 4 losses per year. I haven't dove in enough to care about the data, he and his alum friends are ecstatic that Grinch is gone.

It will be interesting to see how USC fares next year. They return only 3 starters on O, and 4 on D. With all the departures they are going through a roster turnover akin to the Buffs, except they never had a 1-11 roster, perhaps the least talented in the P68. The whole thing is strange. For the O, two of the returners are Oline, which was thrashed the 2nd half of last season, thus except for 2 guys they are doing a remake like CU. However, their transfer outflow is a net negative on player numbers--rather than evening out. Therefore, they really have to lean on some younger players for any depth.
Seems SC's D recruiting was strong on paper: blue-chips/transfer BC's, however, so many waashed out--many back to the market. This occurred with the O, as well. I think something has to be off with the recruiting assessments and overall player development. In three years like 13 D players have left with either a 4* TP ranking, or a solid BC coming out of HS--washing out. SC gets 4-5* LB recruits, and others throughout their roster, however they tend to wash-out or move on. With only 4 guys returning on D, it will be interesting to see if Lynn can change around the fortunes of their D--could look like the Buff's growing pains last year? They leaned on transfers from UCLA and Ore State in the rebuild, but just bringing back 4 guys with any starting experience renders each position group basically new. We lost CM and O Cooper, but Prime had replacements already on campus. I think it is unanimous that Dline wise, CU improved size and talent wise. Jury is out on the LB's but we signed some.
It is easy just to blame Grinch. Grinch is an interesting one, certainly a flail at SC. Prior to SC, maybe 2nd year at OU, Grinch was a fairly big name as a HCing candidate carousel for a couple of years. No doubt, Grinch's D's struggled, however I wonder how much of this is Riley too. In the end, Riley is in charge of the entire roster and the coaching staff. Given they have turnover in every position group (DB's all new except 1 safety) what does say about the entire D-staff? All the BC departures, what does that say about recruiting?
My gut sense is that Riley is Uber focused on O, being the QB whisperer, and the O/QB putting up their huge numbers, perhaps, not the entire team. I would argue CU's trajectory last season was heavily influenced by the Stanford collapse. If CU "just took the air out of the ball" in the 2nd half running clock, they probably hold onto that game, and maybe win a few more. On the other hand, Riley did not seem to change much year to year.
Salty, yes. He could have said 3-4 losses per year. The point being, there are a lot of USC folks who felt Grinch was the issue, not Riley. We shall soon see! Once JuJu commits to the Buffs, it will be interesting to see if Riley's timeframe to leave is fast tracked.

Lincoln Riley doesn't run a serious program. He cares about one thing...offense. DC won't make a difference.
The Julian Lewis-to-Colorado hype is 'very real': Buffs have 'a real shot' at 5-star QB
Julian Lewis is the No. 1 QB in the Class of 2025 and committed to USC. Colorado is still in the mix, though, with "a better than a good shot."

The Coloradoan has the best Buff coverage outside of Brian and Adam.
Sal Sunseri's son Tino, is the QB coach and Co-OC at Indiana where Juju is this weekend. Apparently Tino has known Juju since he was 8 years old.
Need CP's connection with pop to come through.

Sounds like we need to hire Tino
Especially an FCS DC.
RJ has a great personality in the Well Off videos, you can tell he loves it here already.
Top flight QBs usually commit early so they can peer recruit other elite stars in their class.
I think this is going to go right up until signing day

I think this will go right up to the day after signing day, when it starts again, and continues this loop until his eligibility is up or he leaves for the NFL.
Nah. It’ll go right up to opening day 2025. Players can transfer anytime and as often as they want.

Lincoln Riley really looks dorky in those white shoes! Reminds me of the Fat Man (aka John Robinson) sporting bad shoes on USC's sidelines during his failed 2nd tenure. He looked "bombed out and depleted" (Silky Johnson--Playa Hater's Ball) running down the sidelines.
I knew Pennypacker would agree with me in some regard.
