USC: Outside of Stanford, the Pac-12 is shit and USC still draws elite talent. Helton isn't elite by any means but appears far more stable than SC's last two morons.

That's a ringing endorsement of Helton if I've ever heard one
It may not be under Helton but USC is generally a recruiting juggernaut. Miami has stadium, location and facility issues and no $$$ for an immediate fix. Helton appears to be taking a Chris Petersen approach at USC. Hard to tell if he has the eye for talent and the ability to develop kids like CP does. Not to mention the fact that instilling that culture at USC will be bucked hard by players and boosters alike. USC traditionally has a flashy Sark like vibe. We have seen how hard it was to change that culture here. Imagine how much harder that would be at USC. But I still take the Trojans over the Hurricanes. Too many built in advantages long term to overlook.

USC has historically, sans Pete Carroll, taken the Chris Peterson approach: Talent; check. Pedigree; check. Disappoint; check.

Miami has never relied on stadium or facilities, it's been all about coaching, recruiting the nastiest players South Florida can produce and mixing in a decent college quarterback. Richt knows how to recruit that area, and he's a hell of a lot more proven than Helton, who's been coaching under two of the biggest douche bags to ever coach at USC. Just my 0.02, but I think Miami will get back on track before USC will.

As for USC, I'm hearing that the upcoming edition of the TSIO podcast will have a few thoughts on Clay Helton
