4 star WR Trent Mosley out of California has committed to USC.

 
4 star IOL Esun Tafa out of Utah who decommitted from Washington in early February has committed to USC.

 


Calling it now..he's going to decommit/flip to a school closer to home come ESD

Oh I know. I think more importantly, USC isn't OSU

all i'm saying is that SC has done this the past three cycles getting early commitments from players in the south only to see the decommit and go elsewhere. I think this kid is going to do the same thing, there will be big pulls from UT, aggy, LSU..maybe ou too.

For sure, their recruiting has been wildly unstable. Not sure what the hell is going on there but that has been consistent.

They get outbid at the end.

don't think money is the big issue unless they really come over the top with it the way Oregon does with certain players. Last year they had the top 2 DTs, both in GA commit early, the reason why they flipped was because when the summer was winding down.. they wanted to stay closer home and play in the SEC. This recent commit is currently living in TX, however he just moved from MS.. My money is that he will end up somewhere in the SEC

So money only matters if it is "over the top" money?

True... however...

We probably should keep an eye on how the newly revamped USC recruiting department performs:

USC's revamped recruiting strategy has the Trojans ranked No. 1 in 2026

Remember the old saying:
"Past performance does not guarantee future results."

I guess we will need to wait and see if the Trojans achieve improved success with their new recruiting staff over the next few years... time will tell.

Eh a southern kid committing early in the cycle, seen this a million times before. I'll be shocked if he actually signs with us.

Oh it'll be a battle for sure. Hopefully guys like Zion Grady and Turbo Rogers can get in his ear, as we never pulled high ranking kids from Bama really until those two. I'm sure his NIL will be there, and we also have Downs to stay close to him. Guerrieri has been killing it with DBs.

FWIW his dad was answering some (respectful) questions on twitter. He said Blaine will be at OSU and that they simply did the best job of recruiting him. "This is a done deal".
 
4 star DL Tomuhini Topui out of California who decommitted from Oregon last week has committed to USC.
