Take this graphical representation for what you will, but USC still holds the best record in the state of California. The USC Trojans are back in business on the recruiting trail, and this next week could really speak dividends about the reputation of USC against the likes of Cal, Stanford and UCLA.
Porter Gustin To Make Announcement Tuesday
#USC #OhioState #ArizonaState Top 100 target Porter Gustin @portgus15 tells Sporting News he hopes to announce Tues Feb 3. 11 am MTN at H.S.

Four-star USC target Porter Gustin says he will make his college decision one day before National Signing Day. Gustin has welcomed Arizona State, Ohio State, USC and Utah into his home for final visits over the past week, and his decision remains hanging in the balance. Gustin and five-star linebacker Osa Masina, a current USC commit, both reign from Utah and have a solid relationship. But the race for Gustin's services will be rather hectic before Tuesday's selection.

Tristan Payton Decommits From USC
I've decided to decommit from the university of Southern California thanks for all the support and love ✌️
— Tristan Payton (@tristanpayton6) January 23, 2015
Three-star WR Tristan Payton announced that he will not be attending USC. Payton posted himself in a Florida jersey on his twitter account and the local Floridian might be leaning towards UF before National Signing Day. The Trojans have already added an assortment of weapons, and the recent commitment from Osa Masina may have created that awkward situation where USC did not have enough scholarships to keep him for 2015.

Chuma Edoga Can Be As Good As He Wants To Be
Chuma Edoga is freakishly athletic, and showed some good things on his highlight tape. Playing Division-I football is a whole 'nother ballgame though, and he'll have to prove can lean on other parts to his game besides his natural ability.

Early enrollee Roy Hemsley (Windward High School) started the spring semester this week as one of the five newest members of the recruiting class. The 6-foot-6, three-star offensive tackle adds even more depth to a loaded offensive line group of underclassmen for the USC Trojans.
USC's Scholarship Distribution Chart
The departure of Nelson Agholor, George Farmer and Leonard Williams has changed the current scholarship numbers on campus. USCFootball.com has done an excellent job of tracking the scholarships on campus, laying out what positions USC has done well in developing (OL, CB) now and not so well (DL, RB) for the future. Here is an inside look into the 61 players on scholarship, including the 2015 class, that lays out the entire position-by-position look at the entire roster.

Isaac Whitney gives USC unique skillset
USC hasn't had a prominent receiver with unique size in some time, but that could all change with Isaac Whitney, who has the size and speed to beat any defense.
Marvell Tell's Has Strong Potential at USC
Marvell Tell is an extremely versatile player who can play both coverage and the run. His knack for the finer aspects of football means he can probably come in and help the Trojans right away.
How Ykili Ross Can Help The Trojans
Ykili Ross just announced his commitment to USC, proclaiming his excitement for "the next three years." If he becomes the versatile defensive threat he can be, three years may be all he needs.

USC Has Dominated Recruiting In The Army All-American Bowl
#USC now has 8 commits playing in the @ArmyAllAmerican, the most of any school in the nation.
— Evan Budrovich (@evanbud) January 3, 2015
The USC Trojans have some of the best talent in the prestigious Army All-American Bowl, and one more could be coming from four-star Marvell Tell. Led by two quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Ricky Town, who threw a 61-yard touchdown in the game, the Trojans have plenty of offensive firepower in this football game. Keep in mind that USC targets Porter Gustin and Osa Masina could make it double digit commitments, but those won't come until closer to National Signing Day.

The USC Trojans are still in the recruiting running for five-star linebacker John Houston. On Friday morning, Houston trimmed his list of potential schools down to five teams. Houston could continue the Serra High School pipeline to USC that has featured dynamic playmakers such as Marqise Lee, Robert Woods and Adoree' Jackson among others.

While there were a handful of high school Class of 2015 prospects on official visits, Class of 2016 wide receiver Javon McKinley was also in attendance. The consensus four-star Corona Centennial receiver left with a smile on his face after seeing a good practice and also receiving a scholarship offer from the USC coaching staff.
