The Trojans won't have too many draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, however, the quality outweighs the lack of quantity. In the first segment, I talk about Jonah Monheim, Jaylin Smith, and Woody Marks's week at the Reeses Sr. Bowl and how each of their draft stocks is on the rise.

In the second segment, I talk about five players who I can see starting for the Trojans in 2025, and why what they do during the winter workouts can help determine their playing time in the fall.

In the 3rd segment, I talk about a few of USC's underrated players in their 2025 recruiting class. You might be surprised by the first name I talk about.

USC's football coaching staff added another member with Trovon Reed being named as the Trojans' new Cornerbacks coach. Reed is not only considered a good developer of talent but he's also known as an "Elite Recruiter." The Reed news wasn't the only move with USC's personnel; Annie Hanson announced she is stepping down from her position. I have all the details and what it means.

In the second segment, I highlight the growing list of recruits who will be on USC's campus this weekend and point out a common theme.

Plus I discuss what else the roster needs for 2025.

USC hosted UCLA in the first basketball Crosstown Showdown of the season and the Trojans couldn't make an FT when they needed to and it cost them the game down the stretch. I have my postgame instant reaction in the first segment.

In the show's second segment, I offer more perspective on USC's new general manager hire, plus how he can hit the ground running when the recruits show up on USC's campus this weekend.

The final segment looks at USC's roster and who their best player is on a national level.

USC and Lincoln Riley added one more piece to the championship puzzle when they hired Chad Bowden to be its new general manager. Bowden is largely credited with setting up Notre Dame's run to the CFP championship game. I have the details and I also offer my perspective on the hire and the impact it could have.

It's not about how you start but how you finish. Lincoln Riley can help his team finish stronger if he starts the season with strong play-calling. I explain in detail during the first segment.

USC football usually starts the season strong and ranked in the preseason polls. However, the Trojans have failed to finish ranked for the 2nd consecutive season.

The 3rd segment wraps up the episode by me calling Nick Saban a hypocrite, even though he is 100% right in his opinion.

Ohio State Buckeyes clinch the national championship, sparking debates on the future of college football. How will NIL deals reshape the landscape for teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and USC?

Join host Craig Sheman and guests Jay Stevens, Zach Anderson, Spencer, Roman, Zach Seiko, and Mark as they explore Ohio State's path to victory and the impact of NIL on college sports. Discover insights into the Buckeyes' strategic intensity, the ethics of recruitment, and the evolving playoff format. The discussion also touches on the significance of rivalry games and the role of the transfer portal in building powerhouse teams.

Will traditional powerhouses adapt to these changes? Tune in for expert analysis and insider perspectives on the shifting dynamics of college football.

USC and Lincoln Riley are known for having elite QBs every year. The question heading into 2025 is, does USC have one of the top 10 QBs returning? I take a look at the current situation and compare it against USC's schedule.

In the second segment, I have some recruiting news, plus, where the coaching staff is emphasizing their time and who are getting offers.

Both of the Trojan basketball teams won on the same night; The Women of Troy beat up Purdue on the road winning their 14th game in a row. Meanwhile, the men won on the road against Nebraska. It's their 3rd win on the road in conference and both teams take on UCLA next.

USC has already started its winter conditioning this offseason and the spring game will be here sooner than later. So who will you be focused on the most when the spring game is played? I have a couple of players on defense that have piqued my interest in the first segment.

Now that the "Honeymoon Phase" is over between Lincoln Riley and the fans, I want to know how close or far away the Trojans are from contending for a championship. In the 2nd segment, I use Notre Dame and Ohio St. as the benchmarks.

The best running back duo to ever play together is the 3rd segment's hot topic. I'd take Charles White & Marcus Allen over LenDale White & Reggie Bush.
