In their first true recruiting loss of the 2027 cycle, 4-star offensive lineman Isaiah Bertola has committed to the Cal Bears over the USC Trojans. While the Trojans will be just fine, Bertola was the final offensive lineman for whom they had pushed their chips in for the 2027 class. So now where do they turn? Flip candidates? Developmental prospect? Stick with one offensive lineman in the class? Let's discuss. Tune in and make sure to like and subscribe to the USC LAFB YouTube Channel!

USC Trojans priority target Isaiah Bertola is fresh off his Cal visit. He still has visits scheduled to Texas and BYU, but made an interesting update today.

USC Trojans 2027 cornerback Aaryn Washington announced on his Instagram today that his recruitment is officially shut down.

There has been plenty of conversation surrounding linebacker recruiting in the USC Trojans 2027 class. Regardless, the Trojans will be loading up on blue-chip linebackers in the 2028 class. One of those talented LBs is De La Salle prospect Landon Miller. He just visited USC, and the Trojans sit high in his recruitment. Here is the latest.

Austin Attalah is one of the top overall prospects in the 2028 class, and he is the top offensive tackle in the state of California. The USC Trojans are making him a major priority and will aim to make him the centerpiece of their 2028 class. Attalah just released his Top 8 heading into the summer. Did he include the Trojans?

While on a brief visit to see two of our grandsons and a side trip to Arkansas, I had the chance to watch a few exceptional college softball and baseball games along with a very tense Game 7 NBA Western Conference final. It’s time to enjoy the next couple of weeks as the window is quickly closing on the seasons for these three sports. This year’s NBA Finals began Wednesday night. The surprising San Antonio Spurs and streaking New York Knicks began their best-of-seven title series. New York came into Game 1 with an 11-game playoff winning streak. The Knicks left the Spurs’ home arena Wednesday night with a 12-game playoff winning streak. The Women’s College World Series softball best-of three finale also got underway Wednesday night in Oklahoma City. Last weekend, Texas Tech’s never-say-die Red Raiders had to fight back from the brink of elimination twice to defeat #1 seed Alabama just to reach the finals. They will now get a chance to do that once again on Thursday night and, perhaps, on Friday night. That’s because Texas Tech lost to intrastate rival Texas 7-3 in the opening game of the best of three final series. Texas is the defending national champion. On the men’s side of college bats and balls, this week marks the Super Regional round for the NCAA college baseball season. Eight winners from this weekend’s best-of-three weekend series will advance into the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska next week. There were a number of surprising winners and losers during last week’s opening round. New York’s Amazin’ Knicks have now won 12 straight playoff games! San Antonio Spurs 7’4” center Victor Wembanyama is ending his third NBA season. Much like Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O’Neal (who, by the way, played his high school basketball in San Antonio), Wemby just led his team into the NBA Finals. He is now being hailed as the top big man in the NBA. The 5-time NBA champion Spurs are much more than just a one-man show. They utilize their bench as well as any NBA team and play solid defense for the entire 48-minute game. The New York Knicks are seeking their first NBA title since 1973. To say that New York sports fans are hungry for a title is a huge understatement. “The City that Never Sleeps” is in the midst of a rather lengthy championship drought. Eli Manning’s New York Giants football last won a Super Bowl title in 2011. Baseball’s New York Yankees haven’t won the World Series since 2009. The crosstown rival New York Mets haven’t claimed a baseball title since 1986. Broadway Joe Namath was the quarterback for football’s New York Jets in their only Super Bowl victory in 1969. NBA’s New York Knicks came into the playoffs as the #3 Eastern Conference seed behind Detroit and Boston. After losing two of its first three playoff games to Atlanta in Round 1, the Knicks won the final three games to advance. They would sweep #5 seed Philadelphia and #4 Cleveland in eight straight wins to claim the NBA Eastern Conference title. San Antonio is playing in the NBA Finals for the first time since June, 2014. The path to the championship round has been increasingly difficult for the Spurs. San Antonio (the #2 seed in the Western Conference) needed just five games to dispatch the Portland Trailblazers in five games. It then took six games for San Antonio to subdue the Minnesota Timberwolves. Last weekend, the Spurs required a full seven games to win a tense Game 7 battle against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Wednesday night’s Game 1 in San Antonio was won by the New York Knicks 105-95 in a game which was much closer than the final score reflected. The veteran Knicks scored the last 11 points to end the game. New York stepped-up in the final quarter to score 29 points as the younger Spurs tallied only 19 over the last 12 minutes. New York’s Villanova connection featured guards Jalen Brunson (30 points) and Josh Hart (an incredible 15 rebounds) leading a fourth quarter rally to give the Knicks their 12th consecutive playoff victory. As a result, San Antonio lost its home court advantage after that Game 1 loss. ABC will televise Game #2 at 7:30PM Friday night from San Antonio. The series moves to New York’s Madison Square Garden for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Wednesday next week. Make sure to stick around for the post-game coverage on ESPN. The award-winning “Inside the NBA” show features NBA legends Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal breaking down the action along with host Ernie Johnson. You never know what’s going to happen. Meanwhile, in Oklahoma City… The Women’s College World Series best-of-three finals began Wednesday night. Defending national champion Texas (52-12) defeated Texas Tech 7-3 in Game 1. The Red Raiders fell to 61-9 and are on the verge of elimination once again. They have become quite familiar with this position over the past several days in Oklahoma City. The #11 seeded Red Raiders rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth inning on Sunday to vanquish #8 national seed UCLA 8-7. On Monday, Texas Tech had to defeat #1 seed Alabama twice to earn a spot in the championship finals. The Red Raiders won the opener 5-4 over Bama by scoring a run in the bottom of the 7th inning. They also grabbed the second game 2-0 on a two-hit pitching gem by two-time college player-of-the-year NiJari Canady to earn a spot in the finals. The second seeded Texas Longhorns didn’t have an easy road into the Women’s College World Series finals, either. They had to defeat #7 Tennessee Volunteers twice on Monday to advance. Texas won the opener 5-2 and then shut-out Tennessee 4-0 later in the afternoon to advance to the championship round. The Longhorns and Red Raiders competed for the Women’s College World Series championship last year as well. Texas Tech is trying to avenge last year’s loss to Texas in the best-of-three title series. Game 2 will be played Thursday at 7PM on ESPN. A deciding Game 3, if necessary, will be played Friday night at 7PM on ESPN. What happened to the top seeds in the men’s college baseball tournament? UCLA had been ranked #1 in college baseball all season long. The Bruins were 51-6 heading into the opening round of the NCAA college baseball playoffs. They faced #4 regional seed St. Mary’s (35-25) in their opening playoff game at home last Friday. The Gaels scored a run in the top of the ninth inning to shock UCLA 3-2. On Saturday, UCLA had to score three times in the bottom of the ninth to take a 6-5 win and stay alive against 30-26 Virginia Tech. St. Mary’s and UCLA were matched again on Sunday. This time, the Gaels scored a run in the bottom of the 10th inning to end UCLA’s season with a 6-5 win. Ironically, St. Mary’s was eliminated on Sunday 5-2 by the Cal-Poly Mustangs of San Luis Obispo. Go figure. It wasn’t any better for #2 national seed Georgia Tech The 50-10 Yellow Jackets were playing at home in Atlanta and trying to advance into the Super Regional round for the first time in 20 years. Georgia Tech would have hosted a Super Regional this weekend – if only they had won their own opening round regional. The Oklahoma Sooners rallied in consecutive games to dispatch the heavily favored hometown Yellow Jackets to advance into this weekend’s Super Regional to be played in…Kansas? Kansas has rarely been known for its baseball prowess. This year’s baseball Jayhawks are now 45-16 after winning its opening round of games. KU will host Oklahoma Saturday in the Lawrence, Kansas Super Regional. The Jayhawks have made it into only one College World Series (1993) in the school’s long history. Kansas plays baseball in relatively small Hoglund Ballpark. This stadium features just 2,500 permanent seats. The school recently took down the left field wall and installed a chain link fence. That allows about 1,000 additional fans to stand or sit in their own lawn chairs in “The Backyard” to watch Kansas baseball games. Expect ticket prices in Lawrence, Kansas to be sky high for this weekend’s Super Regional. Did you pick the Trojans to make it into the Super Regionals? Last weekend, there were the Trojans from the University of Southern California, the Troy Trojans of the Sun Belt Conference, and the Little Rock Trojans from the Ohio Valley Conference. Incredibly, all three of these Trojans baseball teams will be part of the 16 squads competing in the second round “Super Regional” college playoff games this weekend. At least one Trojans team is guaranteed a spot in Omaha at the College World Series next week. The 36-30 Troy Trojans will host the Little Rock Trojans (39-26) at 4PM Friday on ESPNU. Troy shocked #5 national seed Florida 10-2 in the final game of the Gainesville Regional last week. Little Rock won the Hattiesburg Regional after #9 seed Southern Miss was sent packing after two consecutive losses. The USC Trojans (47-16) will travel across the country to play at the University of North Carolina (48-11-1) on Friday at 2PM CDT on ESPN2. Here are all eight Super Regional match-ups (first game starting times are CDT) Friday’s Opening Games: Morgantown – Cal Poly (39-22) at #16 seed West Virginia (43-15) at 11AM on ESPN2 Chapel Hill – USC (47-16) at #5 North Carolina (48-11-1) at 2PM on ESPN2 Troy – Little Rock (39-26) at Troy (36-30) at 4PM on ESPNU Auburn – Ole Miss (39-21) at #4 Auburn (42-20) at 7PM on ESPN2 Saturday’s Opening Games: Athens – #14 seed Mississippi State (43-17) at #3 Georgia (49-12) at 10AM on ESPN Lawrence – Oklahoma (36-22) at #15 Kansas (45-16) at 1PM on ESPN Austin – #11 Oregon (43-16) at #6 Texas (43-13) at 7PM on ESPN Tuscaloosa – St. John’s (36-24) at #7 Alabama (40-19) at 8PM on ESPN2 The post Enjoy A Week filled with Terrific Games! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio taking a look at which Trojan football players have the most to prove in 2026. Head coach Lincoln Riley brings 15 starters back and has a new-look defense with Gary Patterson calling the shots on that side of the ball, but to make that elusive run at the College Football Players there are guys on the roster that will need to turn their potential into production.On the offensive side USC brings back a lot of proven production, from quarterback Jayden Maiava to the entire starting offensive line and a pair of talented tailbacks in Waymond Jordan and King Miller. The biggest question mark will be with the pass catchers and which wide receivers and tight ends can step up and become active targets for Maiava to get the ball too.The Trojans have the most to prove on the defensive side of the ball, especially in the front-seven where the pash rush and run stopping were underwhelming last season. Linebacker Desman Stephens looks the part, but can he step up and be an All-Conference type of performer for the Trojans? Defensive end Kameryn Crawford is another guy with talent to spare, but can he put up double-digit sack numbers this season?The crew also has updates on how the USC baseball team did in the regionals plus off-season updates for the men's and women's basketball teams.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.
At one time, the USC Trojans were recruiting top LB prospect Toa Satele to be a part of their 2027 class. Both sides ultimately went in a different direction, and Satele just committed to the Oregon Ducks. What is the Trojans' plan at Linebacker, and should there be any reason for concern?

Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported today that Texas Tech has been in contact with the USC Trojans about a possible home-and-home matchup in 2027 and 2028.

USC Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava can be his own harshest critic. In a recent interview, he spoke about the fact that he has accomplished nothing so far in his career. That can certainly change quickly, and the redshirt senior has everything in front of him heading into the 2026 season. Tune in and make sure to like and subscribe to the USC LAFB YouTube Channel!

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down the news that USC baseball is back in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year after the Trojans were selected as an at-large team in the College Station Regional in Texas. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz joins the show to talk about the Trojans making it to back-to-back regionals for the first time since 2001-2002, his reaction to not being a regional host despite a No. 9 RPI as well as what the Trojans have to do better to take the next step and make it to a super regional after being in a regional final last year. Stankiewicz also discusses how the Trojan coaching staff will try to use its Texas connections to prepare scouting reports and mentions the possibility of potentially 'pitching off' and saving Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Mason Edwards for a potential 1-0 matchup with host Texas A&M. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey discuss the progression of the USC program making back-to-back regionals after only one in the previous two decades and take a look back at the action from the Big Ten Tournament where the Trojans went 1-1, losing a heartbreaking walk-off to rival UCLA in the tournament semifinals. They note three positives, including Augie Lopez's potential re-emergence and showing they are capable of beating the best teams in the nation. They also look at USC's struggles leaving men on base and some defensive struggles. The podcasting duo close out the show previewing each of the teams that will also be in the College Station Regional alongside USC with host Texas A&M, No. 3-seed Texas State and four-seed Lamar, breaking down the potential starting pitchers the Trojans could face in the first two matchups.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio taking a look at the challenging 2026 USC football schedule to see what it will take for this Trojan squad to make the College Football Playoffs for the very first time. Head coach Lincoln Riley is confident he has the right team in place to make a championship run, and we take a high-level look at the schedule with notes on each of USC's opponents. With the Fighting Irish absent, the path to the playoffs should be easier, but USC is still facing off against three of the projected top-5 teams in the country and will need to win at least one of those games to make the postseason tournament. Defending national champion Indiana will be a tough road test and uber-talented Oregon and Ohio State both visit the Coliseum. If the Trojans can come out on top of at least one of the big three and then take care of business in the rest of the games, a berth in the playoffs would be almost guaranteed. The guys also talk about information on USC football tickets for the 2026 season, the news coming out of SEC spring meetings including the standoff with the Big Ten on expanding the college football playoffs plus listener questions.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio discussing the news that has come out of the Big Ten's spring meetings in Rancho Palos Verdes, at the beautiful Terranea Resort. USC football head coach Lincoln Riley likely had the shortest commute to the meetings, and he ended up speaking to Brandon Marcello about his confidence in the team they have put together for the 2026 season. With some big wins last season over Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska, 15 returning starters, the No. 1 high school recruiting class and the hiring of Hall of Fame coach Gary Patterson to run the defense, Riley feels this Trojan squad is primed for an explosion. With athletic directors, head coaches and Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti all in attendance at Terranea, there was plenty of college football big-picture talk, from expanding the College Football Playoffs to College Sports Commission's oversight of player compensation to the Big Ten breaking away and creating its on governance model. The guys give their thoughts on what went down at the Big Ten meetings and what it could mean for the USC football program.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's final week of the regular season, a hard-fought super-regional-esque series at No. 16 Oregon. They also talk with USC southpaw ace Mason Edwards about his incredible season that earned him Big Ten Pitcher of the Year honors Tuesday. Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' series loss in Eugene where every game was decided by a run, including two games going into extra innings with USC winning the opener 2-1 in 1 1 innings, dropping the middle game 4-3 and then losing a heartbreaker 6-5 in 14 innings on a walk-off two-out suicide squeeze. Shotgun and Kasey also take a look at where the Trojans stands in the rankings and key resume metrics, including looking at their regional host potential (or lack thereof). They also preview the Big Ten Tournament and the teams USC could potentially face after locking up the No. 4 seed and a bye to the single-elimination portion of the tourney. To close out the show, Edwards joins the podcast to talk about what he did over the offseason to take such a giant leap from contributor to one of the best pitchers in the nation. He discusses how he reworked his breaking ball and how he's able to now manipulate it into multiple offerings. Edwards also chats about the program build the Trojans have undergone under head coach Andy Stankiewicz, the relationship he has with USC pitching coach Sean Allen and why he's confident the men of Troy can go on a run in the postseason.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing the latest news and notes around the USC football program and college football in general. With spring football in the rearview mirror we are keeping tabs on how the Trojans are navigating the off-season and how the sport we all love makes tweaks to the rules and post-season. Last week the American Football Coaches Association voted to expand the college football playoffs along with a few other modifications to the college football calendar. Their proposal would double the size of the CFP bracket from 12 to 24 teams and eliminate the conference championship games. It would also condense the regular season with only one bye week, preserve the Army/Navy game and make sure the season ends by the second week in January. The crew also talks about former USC head coach Pete Carroll coaching in the Polynesian Bowl against former Texas head coach Mack Brown, the "five to play five" proposal in college football, expanding the NCAA basketball tournament to 76 teams and former Trojan safety Will Harris getting promoted in Miami to the secondary coach and passing game coordinator.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's continued success at home after the Trojans recorded their eighth sweep of the season, improving to a nation's best home record of 28-1 at Dedeaux Field. They also talk with USC hitting coach Travis Jewett about the team's offensive production, which has seen an uptick in driving the baseball, knocking 19 extra-base hits over the weekend in a sweep of Rutgers. Jewett joins the first half of the show to discuss how USC's offense continues to progress with hitters like Augie Lopez and Isaac Cadena really tapping into their power. (The duo has combined for 16 home runs since the start of April.) He discusses the approach USC's hitters are taking to the plate and why it may not be sexy, but it's good to take free base on balls. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' 3-1 week that began with a disappointing offensive effort at UC Irvine before USC broke loose against Rutgers, notching a pair of run-rule victories to close out the weekend after Mason Edwards was nearly unhittable once again Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and preview a non-conference week for USC as it takes on Cal State Fullerton Tuesday before a three-game series against Nevada that will begin a day early on Thursday.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing this weekend's huge NFL Draft and the top-rated USC prospects that are hoping to hear their name called. They also take a crack at ranking each of the Trojan football position groups by level of expectations heading into the season following what we learned about the team in the spring. Kicking things off with our draft coverage, all eyes will be on wide receiver Makai Lemon will is expected to go in the top-half of the first round, likely as the second or third wide receiver off the board.

Safeties Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, tight end Lake McRee and linebacker Eric Gentry are other former USC players that are the most likely to get picked up in the later rounds. They finish off the show talking about the 2026 bowl tie-ins sticking with the old conference alignment (Pac-12) and answering listener questions from our live chat, emails and The Peristyle message board.
