Mark my words: USC's entire 2026 season depends on whether our coaching staff can land a true difference-maker at linebacker in this summer dead period. We are sitting there in ESPN's Big Ten prevew as a team that "stands in the way" of Oregon and Ohio State, but nobody is talking about the massive hole in the middle of our defense that has been there since last season. The portal window is closed, the spring window is gone forever, and we are running out of time to address the one position group that has been holding us back from being a real contender. Every crystal ball I see on 247 has us missing on the top 2027 LB targets to Big Ten rivals who are throwing around bagman money like it is nothing lmao. If we roll into fall camp with the same linebacker room that got exposed in the 2025 season, it does NOT matter how many 5-star croots we have at receiver or in the secondary. Oregon loaded up with five 5-stars and Raiola from the portal, Ohio State is reloading, and we are still tryin...
