Inside the Trojans’ Huddle: Latest recruiting developments and viewer questions
In Tuesday’s edition of Inside the Trojans’ Huddle, panelists Marc Kulkin, Chris Arledge, Bruce Bagni, and Greg Katz give their opinions and evaluations of last week’s latest recruiting developments, as well as upcoming recruiting news and updates, Mater Dei HS’s 2014 prospects, more historical Big Ten football program reflections, the Pac-12 future, and viewers’ questions and panel answers.
In the first half of the Huddle, the panel gives their views and analysis of Mater Dei corner Zabien Brown committing to Alabama. The panel also discusses the future July announcements of running back Taylor Tatum (Longview, TX) and linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, and the chance that both will not commit to USC. The panel addresses the possibility that in Brown, Tatum, and KVA, all go elsewhere. What does that mean for the Trojans? Could it have been avoided?
The first half of the Huddle continues with the panel assessing the very talented Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei class of 2024, and of the Monarch’s five major recruits, none may commit to the Trojans. However, there is one MD player that the panel would definitely like to see commit who is still uncommitted at a position of need. Should USC fans be concerned with the Mater Dei recruiting situation?
The first half concludes with the challenge of Alabama recruiting the Southland hard and getting results. Was this a case of getting a foot in the door with former Mater Dei star quarterback Bryce Young, once a USC commit, and extending its influence? The panel definitely has some thoughts on this question. Does this go back to the Clay Helton era raising its ugly head?
Halftime brings some historic quick-hitting memories of three more Big Ten programs: Purdue, Illinois, and Indiana. Purdue has some special memories for a number of panel members in terms of players, traditions, and one very hot game against the Boilermakers in the Coliseum. By the way, can you name the Purdue QB that hot afternoon?
