In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about all of the latest news and notes surrounding the USC football program as the team heads into the summer. With finals over and graduation kicking off this week, players have some downtime before heading into their summer workouts and player run practices, preparing for fall camp in August. During this time the Trojan coaching staff is trying to add more pieces to the roster from the transfer portal, getting the squad ready for the first season in the Big Ten.

The guys start off talking about what USC's portal needs are and which players the Trojans missed on and what players are still available to help out, especially on the defensive line. They also discuss the rash of special teams commits and what that means and where this roster sits now in terms of scholarship limits and how those are broken down by position and class.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down an extremely active offseason for the USC men's and women's basketball programs.

Shotgun and Connor dive into USC men's basketball's new-look roster after nine transfer portal additions, highlighted by the Thursday addition of Big East Most Improved Player Desmond Claude from Xavier. They look at what each of the new transfers bring to the table and how their game could translate for the Trojans with almost all of the additions taking a step up from the mid-major level. Shotgun and Connor then pick their starting fives from the current roster of Trojans with one scholarship spot remaining.

After a short break, the podcasting duo look at the released Big Ten opponents for the 2024-25 season and try to decipher what exactly it could mean for the Trojans and the amount of travel they may have to endure.

The final segment of the Triple-Double Podcast is a discussion about the impact and implications of the Women of Troy landing former Pac-12 foes Kiki Iriafen and Talia von Oelhoffen in the transfer portal, bringing in two elite talents to fill the void caused by the graduation of Ivy League transfers Kaitlyn Davis, McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla. Is is now championship or bust for the Trojans?

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with Oregon State transfer linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold joining the show. The veteran from Mission Viejo comes to USC after three years as a Beaver where he played in 37 games and had 107 tackles, 6.5 for loss with two sacks and pair of interceptions for OSU last season.

The Trojans are desperately looking for production out of the linebacker spot and the addition of Mascarenas-Arnold should go a long way towards that goal. The guys chat with him about the decision to join Lincoln Riley, D'Anton Lynn and Matt Entz on this new-look USC defense, coming to Los Angeles with his brother Akili Arnold, how he felt he performed during the 15 spring football practices, what he wants to improve on and what his goals are for his senior season.

After the interview Ryan and Connor recap how the Trojans did in the NFL Draft with the first overall pick being Caleb Williams and six more former USC football players being selected. With seven overall selections the Trojans had the most of any program to finish the 2023 season unranked, a dubious distinction that Riley and company will try and rectify in 2024.

The interview with Easton Mascarenas-Arnold was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with UCLA transfer safety Kamari Ramsey joining the show. The talented redshirt sophomore started 11 games for the Bruins last season, recording 40 tackles including 2.5 for loss, 5 pass breakups and one interception. The 6-foot, 204 pound Ramsey brings good production and experience in new defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn's defensive system.

The guys talk to Ramsey about his experience as a starting safety last season, working closely with Lynn, what went into his decision to transfer across town, how spring practice went for him and lots more.

They also discuss the breaking news that Reggie Bush had his Heisman Trophy returned, giving USC 8 Heisman Trophies, the most of any program.

After the interview Ryan and Connor recap USC's spring game from Saturday where the defense got the better of the offense including four interceptions including a 100-yard pick six. They discuss what they learned on both sides of the ball from watching the game and where they think Lincoln Riley needs to add talent to compete in the Big Ten next season.

The interview with Kamari Ramsey was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a five-game week for the Trojans that proved to be a big disappointment after the Trojans went 2-3 with a pair of losses to Sacramento State, falling to 0-4 against the WAC this season. They break down USC baseball's up-and-down week that did feature a blowout victory over a top 20 UC Irvine team and a late-inning rally from a 10-5 deficit to snag a victory.

The Trojans' inconsistent week saw them go back and forth from a proficient offense that capitalized on extra opportunities given by opponents to one that reverted back to its early-season woes of too many strikeouts and inability to come through in the clutch.

Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the 2-3 week with each providing three things up, including Austin Overn and experimentation, as well as three negatives from the week, including a struggling Jacob Galloway and a gaudy win-loss record for Tyler Stromsborg.

The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down what has become a quagmire of seven teams within two and a half games of each other in the middle of the Pac-12 standings. They also look forward to the upcoming week of action that has the Trojans slated to play four road games against traditional powers that are no longer playing like perennial juggernauts, Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together recapping USC's spring game that featured the defense getting the better of the offense by a score of 43-28 in a modified scoring system. With D'Anton Lynn at the helm, the new-look USC defense secured four interceptions including a 100-yard pick-six and three-straight drives ending in interceptions in the first half.

Coach Hyde thought the Coliseum looked great on Saturday afternoon with beautiful weather, turf in pristine condition and everything looking perfect. When the game started he was happy to see the offense huddle up to get the plays in with helmet communication now allowed per NCAA rules. He wasn't as happy to see the game not feature live tackling and instead defenders would "thud" the offensive players instead of tackling them to the ground. Coach doesn't feel you can get a true game speed evaluation when there is no live tackling and you can't see if the tackling has improved at all because you just aren't running at a full speed pace like you would in a real game.

Overall he felt the defense played more to defend the pass than the run since there was no tackling allowed and the offensive play calling was more skewed towards passing than running. The secondary and linebackers were able to play more coverage and so it makes it hard to evaluate their performance when they aren't as worried about coming up to support the run. Coach liked how the offensive line blocked in pass protection, but again it just wasn't a real life game situation when you aren't including the physicality of the run game.

The secondary did stand out with four interceptions and coach loved how they were always around the football. It just looked like the players were better coached, not leaving guys wide open and forcing the offense to make contested catches.
