Mark my words, this early signing period is gonna be the most chaotic we have seen at USC since we joined the Big Ten. The staff is working those OVs right now duuring this dead period and I am hearing from sources close to the program that we are about to flip at least one of those 21 five-stars from the ESPN breakdown. The NIL bagmen are working overtime and the 247 composite is gonna look completely different by the time the ink dries. Oregon is flexing with five 5-stars and acting like they already won the 2026 year but they are sleeping on our silent commits. The crystal ball momentum is shifting and we are about to bump our class ranking into the top five nationally. This is the year Lincoln Riley finally puts together a complete class that matches the offensive firepower he is known for. The Big Ten arms race is real and we cannot afford to get left behind while Ohio State and Oregon are stacking elite talent. But I am telling you, the noise out of Heritage Hall is different this year. The bag game is strong, the visits are going well, and the dead period is working in our favor as we lock down these targets. By the time the early signing period closes, people are gonna realize USC is back in the recruiting elite. We are NOT just hosting these croots, we are closing them.
