Family Feud: USC gets a new offensive lineman, Trojans in the draft May 03, 2019

Show notes

USC football's offseason is already off to the races. The Trojans finished their spring practice schedule on April 13, but they have continued to have developments since. They likely lost another player to the transfer portal as quarterback Matt Fink announced his intentions to enter a few days after spring camp's conclusion. But on Friday, USC finally got an addition from the portal, grabbing a commitment from offensive lineman Drew Richmond. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss the latest roster development for USC and their reaction to how the 2019 NFL draft played out for the Trojans. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Richmond comes to the Trojans from the University of Tennessee where he made 25 starts, including starting all 12 games at right tackle last year for the Volunteers. But what will he bring to the Trojans in his final year of eligibility? Shotgun discusses how Richmond's experience will provide leadership for the Trojans and how the added competition the offensive line will have with Richmond being thrown in the mix will push the group to be stronger. The Richmond addition could also follow a pattern set by another graduate transfer at USC, Keely says, before posing the question of how the offensive line lineup could be shaken up by Richmond's presence. The USCfootball.com duo then break down how the NFL draft played out with four USC players being selected, five Trojans signing as undrafted free agents and two others earning minicamp invites with teams. Chuma Edoga was selected first at No. 92 overall by the Jets in the third round. That was followed by Iman Marshall in the fourth round by the Ravens, Marvell Tell III a round later by the Colts as a cornerback and Cameron Smith by the Vikings in the fifth round. Which draftee found the best fit? What do each of the four draft picks have to do to make an impact with their teams? Which of the undrafted players have the best shot at pushing their way past other offseason additions to make a roster or at least a practice squad? And how does it affect Clay Helton and the program that there were no Trojans selected in the top two rounds of the draft? The Family Feud Podcasters answer those draft questions and your listener-submitted questions about the summer player-run practices, recruiting outside of Southern California, Reggie Bush's future with USC and how his new position at FOX affects the NCAA sanctions that have loomed over him and the football program for a decade now. Lastly, USCfootball.com's Chris Trevino asks whether a hot dog is a sandwich, leading to a deep dive into hot dog cuisine. We are looking to feature your question on an upcoming episode.

Family Feud Podcast: Wrapping up USC's spring camp Apr 26, 2019

Show notes

USC football's spring camp is over. It was a spring of change. New offensive system. New roles for several coaches. New emphases on discipline and turnovers. And as always, some new players stepping in -- a couple making immediate impacts. But already there has been change since the Trojans' camp came to a close as well. Just days after USC finished its allotted 15 practices, redshirt junior quarterback Matt Fink announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss the totality of the Trojans' spring camp, including the standouts, what we heard on the sidelines and from the coaches and the chances that Fink will find a new home during the summer or if he might be back in cardinal and gold in the fall. The USCfootball.com duo start the show with a discussion about Fink's situation and looking ahead at this weekend's NFL draft, discussing where some of the Trojans could hear their names called. That includes trying to figure out what exactly a failed drug test with a doctor's excuse could mean for outside linebacker Porter Gustin. Once they get into the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely rattles off a laundry list of players that she thought stood out in a positive manner this spring. Atop her choices are a pair of defensive linemen -- Jay Tufele and Drake Jackson -- that look like they could be elite playmakers in the backfield. Shotgun's Stock Up list starts with new offensive coordinator Graham Harrell and the impact he's had over the five weeks of practice. His list is shorter and includes some of Keely's choices but for some different reasons. On the flip side, both feudsters have concerns on the defensive side of the ball in the back seven. The future of the starting cornerbacks is questioned in Keely's Stock Down as no one has yet separated himself from the pack. Clancy Pendergast's decision to move several linebackers to different positions is also a concern that the duo have after not getting much clarity in the final couple of practices. In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, the USCfootball.com pair dissect Clay Helton's extremely positive comments about the offense's ability to run the football and whether that is/can be a strength for the team. They also look at the intensity infusion that Johnny Nansen and Chad Kauha'aha'a have combined to give the defense and what some of the players have been saying to their teammates during practices. Should fans be positive coming out of spring? It seems like a preposterous thing to say for USC fans after a 5-7 season, but Keely and Shotgun discuss why it should be considered in the 'Agree/Disagree' portion of the show. The Family Feud Podcast also answers listener-submitted questions about how the team should be marketed following that 5-7 season and why JT Daniels seems to have so many haters.
