USC always reloads fast, but a USC with 10 red shirt seniors and a lot of quality upper class is always going to be better than a USC with 4-5 RS playing a lot of underclassmen just coming off sanctions. Until you get back to that strength you won't fully be the USC of old no matter who is coaching it.
True. The one thing we will feel for maybe a couple of seasons after the sanctions end is the fact that there are kids playing right now that would be redshirting if we were at 85. Now, many of those players will be graduating or going to the NFL right about the time the sanctions are over. Hopefully, some will decide to stick around for another season.
We don't usually end up with many RS seniors because of the players we typically get, but we do usually have a lot of RS juniors.
