USC Trojans Head Coach Lincoln Riley Addresses Transfer Portal Spots That Need To be Filled.

Transcript

00:00You're halfway through spring camp essentially. Less questions, more questions?

00:05Yeah, I mean, last we're moving in a good direction. The team's progressing.

00:11You know, we're going to, we're starting to add some situational work, which is a little bit later than what we've typically done,

00:16just because we're not trying to hustle along for a scrimmage to get in before the spring game.

00:20That's going to, all of that has shifted where it's allowed us to maybe go even a little bit more patiently through the installs.

00:27So we're starting to get in some situational work. We're starting to get in some move the ball, you know,

00:31where it kind of feels more like real football instead of just scripted first downs or second downs.

00:35So we'll continue to learn more there, but that team's progressing.

00:38And so far it's been a very solid first half of camp.

00:41You have a transfer portal window coming up. Are you able to share any thoughts on positions or spots that you need to fill?

00:50Yeah, still, I mean, certainly some of it still remains to be seen.

00:53I mean, I think there's some of the, you know, obvious positions, you know, that where we're a little bit thin that we may look at.

01:00I mean, you know, linebacker is one of those that we may, we may look at, you know,

01:05certainly kind of depending on how spring plays out and some of these other position battles and all that, that'll determine the most.

01:11But I don't think it'll be a huge, I don't think we'll be like incredibly active during that.

01:18My gut is we'll end up having, you know, a handful of positions that we're going to look at it.

01:21And if we feel like somebody fits and we may pursue them, but maybe a little bit different than other years.

01:27I don't, I don't, I don't feel like sitting out here that we're missing a whole lot, you know,

01:31just got to keep developing what we have and then make sure that we've got enough depth to make the run that we expect to make.
