USC Trojans have officially perfected the art of the official visit for their recruits and committed players this week

Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans have officially perfected the art of recruiting and the official visit. I mean, let's look at everything they have done for the 2026 class, one that has them predicted to finish with the No. 1 class.

USC is doing it in different ways, too, because when you look at who they have committed, it's not that they are just the No. 1 class because they have a few five stars. They have one in tight end Mark Bowman, who just committed a few weeks ago, and then the rest of their class is pretty much built on high-end four stars

USC has 16 four-star players in this class. The No. 2 class in the LSU Tigers has six four stars, with two five stars and a few three stars. USC had 10 three stars, but not just any three stars, some of them are local kids, and others are kids who play very crucial positions that they will need.

But let's think back to his days at Oklahoma when he was getting the Sooners in the postseason -- Lincoln Riley knows how to recruit, that's for sure. He's brought that to USC in a dramatic way, because you won't see many other schools, of any, doing what he's doing on official visits.
