USC resurgence in recruiting signals bright future under current Trojan staff

For other fan bases, from the outside looking in, it may seem perplexing to watch USC continue to recruit at such a high level. Granted, not every Trojan target ends up signing up for the Cardinal and Gold. That is something that can be said of every program, however.

Those refusing to look beyond the latest win-loss record are failing to recognize something spectacular that is unfolding at USC. Now removed from the NCAA sanctions and with the full ability of the NCAA House settlement ruling that allows for revenue sharing among the Trojan student-athletes, the program is beginning to once again look like a true power in college football.

This is not happening by accident. While coach Lincoln Riley has had a lot of arrows come his way, there also needs to be an acknowledgment of the improvement of how the program conducts its business. The right people are in the correct positions throughout the campus. 

The efforts from personnel such as GM Chad Bowden and Director of High School Recruiting Relations Aaron Amaama, or 'Coach Dogg,' are making strong headway on the recruiting efforts of USC.

What this staff has done an excellent job at is building up trust among the athletes currently at the high school ranks and showing them the full scale of how the Trojans are in earnest building and making the needed improvements to be a contender in the Big Ten and on a national scale in the expanding college football playoff picture.

Those committed to USC already understand what once was. There is also a growing belief that the efforts of the current staff and players will allow for the future to be bright as well.

Advantageous time to join and contribute to USC

It is one thing to be another number and part of a system that will be just as happy to replace you at the earliest available opportunity. Being able to be a part of something special and play a role in the continued rebuilding of one of the great CFB programs has its own luster to it.

Because of how USC is approaching all facets of its football operations and the way in which they have established rapport among the current and future Trojans, the continued push and belief will manifest soon enough into improved results on the field. The dedication and work rate are too high for it to be otherwise for too much longer.
