Locked On USC - Daily Podcast on USC Trojans Football & Basketball – Détails, épisodes et analyse

USC won the Luke Wafle recruiting war against Ohio State. and Penn St, strengthening its grip on their No.1 ranked recruiting class, while upsetting other fans bases. The Trojans are assembling potentially one of the best defensive line classes in a long time and I have all of the news & notes with how USC got Wafle.

Jonas Williams has the chance to be very special when he arrives at USC in 2026. On the last day of the Elite 11 Finals, Williams showed off why. In the 7 on 7 setting he went 18-22 and 7 TDs to lead the field of participants.

This week's Friday Rant takes aim at the Buckeye fans who look like Barney Rubble and our upset with USC.

College Football Playoff negotiations hit a snag. Will the 2026 format be decided before kickoff?

Hosts dissect the ongoing CFP debates, exploring potential impacts on conference championships and automatic qualifiers. The conversation shifts to June's recruiting frenzy, with updates on Ohio State's methodical approach and UCLA's surprising Florida pipeline. Nebraska's 2025 win total predictions take center stage, as the panel analyzes the Cornhuskers' favorable schedule and potential for a breakout season under Matt Rhule.

Tune in for expert insights on Big Ten football's hottest topics and discover why Nebraska might be a dark horse contender in 2025.

Talanoa  Ili will no longer take any more official visits and will play college ball in L.A.; Ili said he will choose between USC and UCLA on Fathers Day, June 15th. It's a USC vs UCLA battle for the best LB in the west, and both schools are using the "Family" approach. I have all the details in the first segment.

Is USC's offseason too good to be true considering their past two years on the field? It's hard to find too many negatives since Lincoln Riley's Trojans went 8-5 and 7-6 respectively. But that hasn't stopped them from putting together the No.1 recruiting class. 

Do you know what ESPN's FPI ranking is and where USC is in their FPI poll? I have the notes in the show's 3rd segment.

USC's marketing department put out a video claiming that it's time to win. Recruiting is doing well with the No.1 class, and recruits are setting up their visit dates.

In the show's 2nd segment, I have the latest recruiting rankings that were released and there are Trojan commits who are moving up, and others who are being disrespected by the folks handing out the stars. 

Revenue sharing is on the table this spring and when it's finalized there will be stiff penalties for rule breakers. I have the details in the final segment.

The Trojans 2026 recruiting class is ranked No.1 in the country following a huge weekend that saw two commits pledge their allegiance to USC. I have the details and how it went down in the show's 1st segment.

If you want to know how the coaching staff is evaluating the depth chart, the show's 2nd segment has intel from inside the McKay Center that was sent to me on both sides of the ball.

The show's final segment wraps up the men's and women's basketball teams. One is playing for the No.1 seed while the other is trying to stay alive for the conference tournament.

Trojans head coach Lincon Riley recently talked about the learning curve of being in charge at a place like USC and the sacrifices he's made to help USC get back to a championship level. I have quotes from Riley along with my thoughts on what he said in the first segment.

The show's second segment looks at the men's basketball game against Maryland and where they go from here.

This week's Friday Rant segment talks about the Trojan Family, aka, Trojan Nation..
