I'm slightly optimistic until thinking about how USC's new coach will get all of these guys.
The took a commitment from another middle of the road RB recruit today, their top guys committed already are taking visits elsewhere and elite guys who should be shoe-ins for them are still milling about. Their recruiting situation should impact the decision to fire Helton more than the current performance on the field.

I actually love their RB recruits though, they got super lucky, they should both be 4 stars
I don't think USC's new coach bump will have a huge effect on recruiting until next year. Bru is probably going somewhere equally stupid like Texas. Seems like he likes them. If he were smart he'd go to Oklahoma.

This is where the early signing day destroys teams like USC. In the past they could bank on a huge recruiting class by firing their shit coach who recruited great and then hire a new coach and everyone gets fired up about the future... then they steal everyone the last week before signing day.
Now, 80% of prospects are signed in December and they can't really do shit about it. It's such a massive advantage for us and such a huge issue for teams like USC.
This is going to bring them to their knees if they don't get a great coach... because if USC doesn't sign top 10 classes every year, can you imagine how fucking bad they'll be?
I don't think they are even going to be like 6-6 regularly, that's not my point. But I could see them ending up with situations where they finish 15-20 in recruiting every year and that will lead to a lot of 8-9 win seasons down in South Central.

I'm hearing it isn't over until they enroll though.

Are we sure dark and rainy is a bad thing?

One side: yeah, we be USC, wake me up in February when we land a top 5 class as usual. The sky isn't falling you guys.
Other side: the sky is falling, fire everyone!
