If you had to project right now to the best of your ability, which recruits not currently committed do we add to this class and who do they replace that's currently here?

There obviously has been an inordinate amount of criticism aimed at Clay Helton, some of which (IMHO) is unreasonable. To your knowledge has this been impacting the USC players and/or recruits in any way? Thank you. LDIABootney, Rodgarnay51 and Rigged4fun like this.

Who do you think might be the most likely replacement at QB? What do you think of a two QB system? Rodgarnay51 and gubo&palanka like this.

As you look at the team now, name one player on O and one on D that you see as becoming impact players in 2018 who (whether due to injury or inexperience) weren't really major contributors last year. I'm thinking Daniel I. will come back from injury and build on what he did in 2016, and on the other side, I look at Levi Jones as having the potential to make a major jump.

On a more serious note: Your take on the Impact of Coach Keary's presence on the sideline this season. Will BKU join him on the sideline (assuming he stays)?

Any current USC player who could try from DL to OL position?

Now that they are in the dirt, are they planning to lower the playing field level to improve the site lines for folks down in the lower rows?
