Even though USC will be leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten next year, the need for the Trojans to retain recruits in their back yard will remain paramount. USC still has to keep a large percentage of elite prospects from Southern California if it wants to compete for national championships. There is simply too much talent in the Trojans’ home region; USC won’t keep every prospect at home, but Lincoln Riley has to keep most of it at home.
At The Voice of College Football, co-hosts Tim Prangley and Rick Anaya spent plenty of time examining local and regional recruiting for USC. On the most recent edition of their show, Trojan Conquest Live, Tim and Rick engaged in a thoughtful discussion about the nuances and challenges of recruiting in Southern California.
