Lincoln Riley admits his biggest regret at USC was relying too much on transfer players instead of building a team around local high school talent. Now, he’s making a big pivot—focusing on recruiting standout athletes from Southern California, like five-star tight end Mark Bowman from Mater Dei and running back Deshonne Redeaux from Oaks Christian. With 17 California prospects in the latest class, Riley’s betting on homegrown stars to bring USC back to the top. Do you think this local-first approach will pay off for the Trojans? Let’s hear your thoughts on building teams with transfers vs. local recruits! #Sports #Football #USC
