In the most recent recruiting cycle (class of 2021) USC signed four of the top eight recruits in California (#1, #3, #6 and #8), including the top ranked DL (#2 overall player in the entire country), #1 LB, #1 DB and #2 QB (Miller Moss, one spot behind Tyler Buchner). The other four signed with Oregon, Texas, Notre Dame, and Utah. This with the uncertainty of who the head coach would be given that Helton was clearly on his last legs as his buyout decreased, and coming off an 18-13 cumulative record in the last three years. In fact, USC signed nine of the top 19 recruits in California.
I wouldn't underestimate USC's ability to once again dominate west coast recruiting once a real coach is in place with a stable recruiting-focused staff.
DC86, that may depend on whether they retain their lead recruiter, Donte Williams.
