Hey Jordan fans we're back here on the peristyle podcast a Trojan blast recruiting edition of the peristyle podcast a lot of

tweets and people emailing wanting to know when we're going to talk about recruiting and of course there's been a lot going on with

Ed Orger on taking over as head coach but we thought we'd squeeze in Gerard Martinez

here our national recruiting analyst on USC football.com talk a little USC football

Hello Trojan fans

boom you do that time I have to give that to them because they usually get it on the

podcast and people that just like recruiting and they just want to listen to the

All right, well it must be a big week with recruiting that if you're going to say that.

What's been, what's the latest scuttle butt?

What's going on here with USC recruiting?

Well, it's, it's been a lot.

And interestingly enough we have both right now.

You know, we have USC closing in on a possible 10-win season

and we have them closing in on a new head coach for next year
