Composite Two-Star Recruits: NCAA dealt legal blow in NIL ruling, biggest needs for USC's 2025 recruiting class

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the regular season, breaking down USC baseball's sweep of Utah in the final weekend of the regular season to get above .500 for the first time this season while climbing to 17 Pac-12 Conference wins and the No. 4 seed in this week's Pac-12 Tournament.
The Trojans got outstanding pitching all three games, led by the continued excellence of ace Caden Aoki, who threw four scoreless innings as he continues to work his way back to full strength after missing more than a month with a shoulder injury.
Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the weekend before previewing the Pac-12 Tournament, including chatting with USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz as he joins the show from a Scottsdale hotel room after the Trojans' six-hour bus ride.
Stankiewicz talks about what the return of Aoki as well as Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek has meant for USC as it moved some other players back into more comfortable roles. He also discusses how things change going into the tournament in desperation win-or-go-home mode this season and what it means for the program to climb up to a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 for the second year in a row.

Dedeaux Download: Hot Trojans head to Pac-12 Tournament playing best baseball of season

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the three-week period for USC baseball before the Trojans begin the final weekend of the regular season. During the three weeks, USC saw its at-large hopes officially dashed while going 6-6 with series losses at Arizona State and to California. The Trojans enter the final weekend carrying a three-game win streak after rallying to win a road series at Washington State and taking a midweek road game at Gonzaga.
The 25-27 Trojans had been without ace Caden Aoki for a month, which really impacted their pitching, particularly the starting pitching. The weekend rotation has been in flux for most of the season due to performance and/or injuries, which has been one of the primary causes of USC floating around just below .500 rather than being able to ascend to their full potential.
Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the three-week stretch in their 'Three Up, Three Down' segment where they look at both the positives, including William Watson, the return of Aoki and the breakthrough of Ryan Jackson, as well as three negatives from the week, including a lack of come-from-behind success this season, Austin Overn going on a 3-for-33 slump and the Trojans not seeming to be able to pick each other up when a mistake is made.
The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down the Pac-12 standings where the Trojans enter the final weekend in sixth with a chance to climb potentially all the way to No. 3. To do that USC will need to sweep Utah in the Trojans' final home series of the season. Shotgun and Jack look forward to the upcoming action between USC and the Utes.

Dedeaux Download: USC baseball looks to gain momentum heading into Pac-12 Tournament

On this special edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham is switching gears to talk a little beach volleyball after the Women of Troy completed the unprecedented four-peat by beating UCLA for the national championship and claiming their fourth-straight NCAA title. Ryan is joined in studio by the beach volleyball twins, Nicole and Audrey Nourse, who for the second year in a row closed out the national championship with a win on their court against the Bruins. The twins talk about winning four national championships in their USC careers, what their favorite moments were on the court and what they plan on doing in the future.
Afterwards head coach Dain Blanton joins the show, coming into the studio for the second year in a row in what is becoming a tradition after closing out the national championship. Blanton talks about putting together another championship run, coming into the season with a target on their back, and what the plans are to try and get back there in 2024 with a completely rebuilt roster.
