@BruinEngineer BE a lot of the Trojans on your list were damn good player for USC
Jeff Byers was at least an all Pac 12 guy. Btw saw him without pads. Not a big dude. That matters as an OL.
Schwreiger is a great pull.
Damn you really really follow the Trojans. Like an obesssion level Follow.
Jaelin Phillips was 1st AA at Miami last year. Youre sorta missing the gist here. Then again maybe your not...
Well he was useless for UCLA so Im interpreting your question broadly.
Blake Ayels! oh man. That’s a bust!
Aaron Corp!!! Mt Rushmore candidate There.
Ayles was worse than Chris Clark, atleast Chris Clark left the program fast.
@BruinEngineer I have no idea who Chris Clark is. was he a bigtime recruit?
Odowd was an AA?? And for sure an all Pac 12er. Again your missing the gist here
Didnt he get benched ?
Not ODowd
He didnt get drafted did he? I remember his play eroding
SoSo J. lol Yep TOTAL bust
Ellis McCarthy is borderline. He actually played and made an impact no?
He was horrible
KLS made more of an impact which wasn't much.
I forgot about Wole for USC, maybe Im spelling it wrong but it was the guy that flipped to USC and Jaurez flipped to UCLA.
Wole is an excellent choice. yep
Really a silly list. every school will have 5 star busts and the more 5 star quality recruitsyou sign the higher the possibility some will be busts, ie, an elite football program like USC . But given USC’s record over the last 100 years most of the top recruits have lived up to billing
@firenze5 this isn’t knocking the schools. just the hype machine & recruiting game.
Dillon Baxter
Lol. yep on MT RUSHMORE
Patrick TuRner was not a bust. Almost but he regrouped!
Josh Rosen!!
Shane Lehman?
Rosen wasn't a college bust, good college QB on a bad team with no OL or defense.
