It really is amazing how often that happens. It's like these two schools don't feel the need to build local support and the desire to play for them from local kids.
That said, looking at USC's 6 commitments, only one is from out of state.
In 2020 class, they had 8 out o 13 commits from CA. What??? Only 13 commits in the class?
So, it's not like they don't recruit the state. But, for some reason they sometimes don't go after some of the top ones.
