Top 30 Most Important Trojans for 2024: No. 12
Like all USC offenses, the 2024 Trojans will rely on a Lincoln Riley-designed passing game that creates space and after-catch opportunities primarily for the team's wide receivers. USC spent about half of its 2023 offensive snaps with four or more offensive weapons split out. Unlike most of Riley's tenure and certainly unlike his first two USC teams, the Trojans don't have a clear frontrunner to headline the wide receiver position. In 2022, Jordan Addison was expected to be that guy and he very much was for the Trojans. Last season, USC added Dorian Singer from Arizona but it ended up being Tahj Washington and Brenden Rice who did the heavy lifting for Caleb Williams.

USC legend Cheryl Miller coaches WNBA All-Stars to upset of Team USA
It was just an All-Star game … or was it? This WNBA All-Star Game was the exception among modern professional sports star gatherings. The MLB All-Star Game used to be a game both leagues desperately wanted to win. The NBA All-Star Game used to be played with cutthroat intensity. (If you don’t believe us, watch the 1987 game in Seattle on YouTube. Trust us.) The Pro Bowl used to be a bare-knuckle, knock-down, drag-out game in which AFC and NFC players went full tilt for 60 minutes and treated the game as another professional football competition worth winning. Today, these games lack vigor, but the WNBA All-Star Game was the exception. USC icon Cheryl Miller was the winning coach, leading Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese — and Arike Ogunbowale — to victory. The WNBA All-Stars outscored Team USA, 117-109, in a spirited contest in Phoenix which clearly meant a lot to everyone involved.
