Trojans Live was back for the first time in 2016 on Wednesday night for a USC Signing Day special, after head coach Clay Helton wrapped up a successful first class. The lineup featured five-star recruits like Long Beach Poly DB Jack Jones and some of the early enrollees who are already on campus. It's a big week for USC athletics as the Trojans also host crosstown rival UCLA at the Galen Center on Thursday.
Guards Katin Reinhardt and Elijah Stewart dropped by The Lab to discuss the surging Trojans and the thrill of playing in front of a potentially sold out Galen Center.

Next up, Jack Jones, one of the most highly-touted recruits from Signing Day, joined the show to discuss his decision-making process, including his announcement with Snoop Dogg.

Seven signees are already enrolled at USC to get a head start on learning the playbook. WR Michael Pittman Jr. and DL Liam Jimmons stopped by after attending the recruiting dinner next door at the Galen Center to discuss their decision to graduate high school early.
