Special guest Gerard Martinez on USC's potential football recruiting boom with Lincoln Riley at the helm

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham welcomes in a special guest to talk about the the potential surge in USC football recruiting with the hiring of new head coach Lincoln Riley, USCFootball.com national recruiting analyst Gerard Martinez. There are two weeks left until the start of the class of 2022 early signing period and Riley has already been hard at work trying to put together the best class possible for the Trojans. Gerard talks about some of the guys that are on Riley's radar including prospects that have de-committed from Oklahoma, the players that have de-committed from USC and where he thinks this recruiting class could end up come December 15. Gerard and Ryan also talk about some of the key events that will happen during the two weeks leading up to the early signing period including what should be a HUGE recruiting visit weekend starting on December 10. The more prospects that are able to visit campus and meet with Riley and his staff, the better chance the Trojans have at signing a highly ranked class. They also give their thoughts on Riley flipping his first five-star prospect, class of 2023 Los Alamitos (Calif.) quarterback Malachi Nelson.
