 staying up too late at night as a young student-athlete to watch Johnny Carson’s. Always had a reference to “Governor Moonbeam” in the monologue.
USC needs another WR like Helton needs another hole in his head.

Jake Smith actually pretty highly-rated HS player … #49 in the nation … Bru McCoy #9 that same year. However beware of the #ClayHeltonEffect which is ubiquitous at #USC.
Hmmm, based on avg/recruit, seems we’re I a world of hurt.
ALL College Preview mags have USC in the Top Ten in terms of Power Rankings….
Another SUCC NFL bust?
I guess Chuma didn’t!
The Jets continue to draft worthless SUCC players and wind up getting screwed!
#SUCC FB: Tough as a Ladybug.
PS: In all sincerity and honesty, I am sorry for the loss of Terry Donohue. God Bless him and may he RIP.

Well we just landed an OT, but he is a 3 star and we were competing against just a handful of schools that are not top programs.
Clay Helton, Graham Harrell, Clay McGuire. Do any of these guys make an OL player believe they will land in the NFL? The only way that USC gets top linemen and develops the offense to SC standards is if McGuire delivers an incredible line on the field this year. I am wishing McGuire the best luck, but very doubtful it will happen.
It just feels like there is a true lack of management skill at SC. They try to sell recruits on NIL and the LA scene, instead of creating a program that will truly convince recruits that USC is on the rebound as a player development program. You cant sell the fluff, you need to sell the meat. And if you dont have meat, you are in trouble.
Remind me, did we not just have our last two left tackles taken in the first round?
Pudly76 – You are living in the past, which is where Clay Helton is living. The oline players you refer to were recruited during the years when Sam Darnold carried the team on his shoulders and Clay was still living off the recruits from his precedessors. But as soon as Clay’s lack of talent was revealed, we have failed to recruit any o-line players that will be NFL players.
Do you really think the current o-line has a single first round draft pick on it? Will it even have any players that get drafted in any round?
It takes time to build a program, but it also takes some time to destroy a program. Helton has been working to destroy this program every year. Failures to land the top players and failure to land the best coaches and failures to build the right organization and lead it.
I am not rooting against the team. I hope they do great. But there has been a constant destruction of the greatness of SC football. And it starts/ends with Helton.
I fear that McGuire will strike out with every single 4 star lineman we are recruiting. Because McGuire simply does not have the resume that would attract them. He should never have been hired at SC, even if he is a good coach. SC deserves a o-line coach that is top 5 or top 10 in the country.
I’m still celebrating the wins at SC. But I fear those wins are going to collapse if the team does not deliver on the field.
This year’s draft is now… this is the same things people said last year.
Same sh!t, different day..
He’s a darn good receiver. I’ve seen his film. But another receiver? SC will have one of the best receiving crews in america. You’ll have a number of guys transferring out.  But how about some O-Linemen? SC has one of the best recruiting teams in the country when it comes to skill positions. They have one of the worst in the country when it comes to O-Linemen. And their O-Line coach is nothing to scream about either. You win games on the LOS.
Business as usual on the O-Line……Oregon gets a 5 star and they are going to get Dave Luli, a 4 star that SC has been persuing big time(Oregon gets him). Meanwhile, SC gets another 3 star project. I’ve seen his film. He looks pretty good. He definitely sustains his blocks. But you can’t help asking why the really good O-Line prospects don’t want to go to USC. Neither do the really good O-Line coaches. For receivers and d-backs, SC recruits like Alabama. For O-Linemen, they recruit like Boise State.
But why does #CarolFolt hate USC football and its fans!?
Dolt hates SC because she went to the bong captial university of the world, UC Santa, pass the bong, Barbara. Most UC students hate private schools. I bet she hated SC when she was token. That belief is still in here, I bet. She is more into being the center of attention than the team succeeding. What do you expect from the progressive, left wing, socialist wing nuts. No wonder the threads on a nut go to the right when tighenting. 
Yep. Women’s sports “doin’ us proud” at USC.
I firmly believe SUCC FB squad won’t be complete until they add receivers from Delaware and Rhode Island.
#SUCC FB: Tough as thin-sliced ham.
Next Next post: Morning Buzz: Is This The Difference Between Oregon and USC?Falls can cause physical and financial devastation. It’s critical to assess older adults’ strength, balance, and mobility to determine individual fall risk and implement exercise therapies to prevent decline.
Falls are a major health problem in the elderly community, increasing the risk of mortality, morbidity, disability, and frailty.1 Falls are the leading cause of injury among adults over the age of 65, and each year one in three older adults reports having had a fall, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So is there a way to meaningfully identify the fall risk of your residents or those older adults living in the community? Is there a way to look at optimal aging and know when someone is transitioning from barely functioning to becoming frail? The answer is yes.
It is possible to measure older adults’ fall risk and prevent a downward spiral from barely functioning to frail, thus saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in related medical costs. The key is collecting information that allows an older adult and a practitioner to compare individual results with normative data and use those data to predict future functional and disability status. The objective then is to find markers that predict a clinical decline in the future and proactively do something about it.
A closely linked concept to optimal aging is the “slippery slope of aging.”4 A major factor for older adults’ optimal aging centers on physical ability, including strength, mobility, and balance. The sooner healthcare professionals can detect decline or movement down the slope, the sooner they can implement exercise to prevent further decline in an individual who is teetering between the thresholds of function and frailty, which may be a small physiological change but can result in a huge change in independence.
Older adults who are physically inactive lose muscle mass and strength more quickly than active individuals who participate in strength training.6 After the age of 60, power decreases even more rapidly at a rate of 3% to 5% annually, affecting the ability to move and react quickly.7 Thus, 60-year-olds who maintain sedentary lifestyles will, at the age of 70, be up to 50% weaker than they were at the age of 60.
At Fox Rehabilitation, the Fox Better Living Strength, Mobility, and Balance Exercise Program utilizes three core functional outcome measures, along with an examination of fall history, to assess a resident’s risk of falling. A thorough medical chart review is completed to determine a resident’s comorbidities, medications, and documented falls.
The first functional outcome measure helps to determine lower extremity strength. Lower extremity weakness is the highest risk factor in predicting falls.9 Another measure identifies patients who are prone to falls and is a valid method of screening both for functional mobility and fall risk in community-dwelling older adults.1 The last measure is a test of balance.
The AGS recommends all older adults undergo routine screening to determine their risk of falls. The Fox Better Living Strength, Mobility, and Balance Exercise Program provides these screenings to all facility residents on an ongoing basis to track changes over time and implement proactive plans of care before a fall occurs or functional deficit develops. Screenings also are performed when a new resident moves into the community, after returning from a hospitalization, at the request of a family or staff member who recognizes a possible change in function, or after a fall.
Residents’ scores on the assessments are compared by age and gender with independent-living older adults without a history of falls. Exercise physiologists review the scores with the assisted-living facility’s healthcare team, and an appropriate plan of care is implemented. If a resident scores below the mean for any one test, he or she is determined to be at a high risk of falling. Residents who score above the mean for all tests are determined to be at a low risk of falling.
Residents at a high risk of falling are often referred to physical therapy to improve their leg strength, posture, gait, balance, cardiovascular stamina, and transfers; to occupational therapy to improve their arm strength, posture, and dynamic balance and cardiovascular stamina during activities of daily living; and/or to
