Gary Patterson brings a taste of TCU to USC, sparking hope for the Trojans’ defensive resurgence. Patterson’s calculated staff hires, Paul Gonzales and Sam Carter, with deep TCU ties and proven defensive back development. Lincoln Riley’s respect for Patterson sets the stage for a formidable partnership that could transform USC’s defense and recruiting edge.

On the court, TCU women’s basketball faces a tight Big 12 race after a narrow loss to Texas Tech, while the men’s team bets on JUCO recruiting to build future success. The impact of Xavier Edmonds this season paves the way for the Horned Frogs to land top JUCO talent like Trent Lincoln. Can TCU’s repeat recruiting strategy replicate Edmonds’ breakout results and keep them competitive in stacked conference battles?
