(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1. Upland linebacker Justin Flowe has committed to Oregon.
2. USC is currently last in the PAC 12 in recruiting.
3. Arroyo linebacker Dylan Leonardis received a scholarship from Missouri Valley College.
4. The Milwaukee Bucks (25-4) beat the Lakers (24-5) 111-104 Thursday night.
5. Herman Boone, the Virginia high school football coach who inspired the movie “Remember the Titans” passed away at the age of 84.
6. The Jacksonville Jaguars fired executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin.
7. The Angels signed pitcher Julio Teheran to a one-year, $9 million deal.
8. Memphis Freshman James Wiseman, who has missed the last seven games due to a 12 game suspension stemming from an NCAA investigation, has left the school and will prepare for the NBA draft. Wiseman is projected as a Top 3 pick.
9. On this day in 1980 NBC broadcasts the New York Jets 24-17 win over the Miami Dolphins without audio.
10. According to Coach Chris Fore at EightLaces.org there have been 50 high school head football coach changes in Southern California so far this off season.
Maybe Denzel can be talked into doing a sequel to his hit film, this time with the Pioneer Titans. The movie would open with the team at their current low point, and two hours later, they beat Mater Dei in the Open Division Championship.
Just read that Garfield High lost their excellent QB to Sierra Vista. You have to wonder how that was accomplished. The East LA fans have to be very upset at being I don’t know how to put it these days, OUT BID?.
#8 The NBA and the teams within the NBA should be concerned about drafting a kid who can’t even get through the first year of college without getting in trouble. You think he’ll start making smarter decisions with a couple million dollars in his pocket?

There many more than 50 HC openings. Smart schools are waiting to announce coaching changes until the new guy is ready to be named, By doing this it reduces underclassmen leaving mid year worried about the next coach. My sources note 6 more right now open a lot more after the new year. This could be a huge year for changes. Not sure why.
There’s nothing wrong with USC that an impeachment won’t cure. I say bring charges against new A.D. Mike Bohn for non-use of power (to oust Helton) and obstruction of winning.
