Sports SCene: Episode 2
USC landed Rival.com's top recruiting class in the nation thanks to the signing of Gardena Serra's Rasheem Green and John Houston, as well as Long Beach Poly's Iman Marshall on National Signing Day on Wednesday.
Rasheem Green is a five-star defensive tackle recruit out, who could bring in a lot of strength and size to replace Leonard Williams, who is headed to the NFL. Green's teammate Houston is quick and athletic, with a 4.6 40-yd dash time. Green and Houston add to the legacy of Serra High School grads who signed with USC. Former Trojan wide receiver Robert Woods and Marqise Lee both went to Serra High.
Iman "Biggie" Marshall, also signed with the Trojans. He is the No. 1 ranked cornerback in the country, and could make an immediate impact for the Trojans.
The top trio joins five-star linebacker Porter Gustin, from Utah, who signed with the Trojans on Tuesday.
Freshman cornerback Adoree' Jackson, who is a Serra alum, joined us in studio, and talked about the impact that the newest Serra additions could have on the Trojans in the upcoming season.
"I'm going into my sophomore year, with them going coming into USC, it's just going to be a great atmosphere to perform," said Jackson.
Contributor Jeremy Bergman also joined us in studio, and broke down Sark's impact on recruiting his past 2 seasons at USC.
"I think there's no doubt that Sark had one of the best recruiting classes that he's ever had, and the best recruiting class that he's had as a coach in college football" said Bergman.
Sarkisian and the Trojans, however, did not land Cordell Broadus, son of rapper Snoop Dogg. Snoop was a fixture on the sidelines at USC football games and practices during the Pete Carroll era. Broadus, instead, is heading to rival UCLA.
