The time has come -- National Signing Day, the end of a long process that for some kids in this class began years ago.
One way or another, USC will know what its 2019 recruiting haul looks like by the end of Wednesday.
The Trojans signed 19 recruits during the early signing period back in December and entered the day holding six additional commitments from wide receivers Kyle Ford and Puka Nacua and defensive backs Jaylen Watson, Kaulana Makaula, Dorian Hewett and Jayden Williams.
With four early enrollees counting towards the Trojans' 2018 numbers, they can take up to 29 in this class.
Will Nacua, a highly-coveted 4-star WR, stay on board after visiting Washington, UCLA and Oregon the last couple weeks? Will 4-star OT Enokk Vimahi choose USC, Ohio State or Oklahoma? Will the Trojans flip 4-star Arkansas CB commit Adonis Otey?
Those are the major storylines Wednesday for USC. Follow along for live updates all day. Here's a breakdown of what to look for:
Officially signed ...
7:40 a.m., Kyle Ford, 4-star WR (Orange Lutheran HS)
-Ford has sent in his signed National Letter of Intent. While the Trojans lost 5-star early enrollee Bru McCoy to Texas, they hold onto Ford, who is rehabbing his way back from a torn ACL but has incredible upside. He's ranked the No. 9 WR and No. 65 overall prospect in the 2019 class.
8:10 a.m. 3-star DB Tuasivi Nomura (Corona Centennial HS)
-Nomura ended any remaining suspense with his announcement Wednesday morning that he is signing with USC over UCLA and Louisville. Here's what Nomura had to say leading into his announcement.
8:10 a.m. 3-star CB Jayden Williams (Corona Centennial HS)
-Williams committed to USC on Tuesday night over Washington. He was offered a week and a half ago, but the Trojans came aggressively after him in that time. Read more about his decision here.
8:25 a.m, 4-star CB Adonis Otey (Blakman HS/Murfreesboro, Tenn.)
-Otey flipped from his commitment to Arkansas, as expected. USC impressed him on his official visit two weekends ago and ultimately swayed him to LA. Our Woody Wommack talked to Otey about his decision. Read the full story here.
Otey is the ninth (and presumably final) DB USC adds to its 2019 class.

8:30 a.m., JUCO cornerback Jaylen Watson (Ventura College)
-Watson committed to USC two weekends ago after his official visit. He chose the Trojans over UTEP, Toledo, Texas Tech and Boise State. Originally from Augusta, Ga., and listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, Watson had 4 interceptions, 13 pass break-ups and 43 tackles this season for Ventura. Read more here.
9:20 a.m., 3-star safety Dorian Hewett (North Shore HS/Houston, Texas)
-Hewitt committed to USC on Tuesday evening just days after taking an official visit to USC and saying "it felt like home for me." Read more about his commitment here.
9:55 a.m.
-2-star safety Kaulana Makaula (Punahou School/Honolulu, Hawaii) has signed his NLI. That gives USC nine defensive backs in the 2019 class. Makaula committed a week and a half ago.
11:30 a.m.
Sources tell TrojanSports USC has announced its full class for today -- 26 members.
12:30 a.m.
-4-star wide receiver Kyle Ford (Orange Lutheran HS) has a ceremony at his school. Ford committed to USC on Jan. 5 and has already sent in his signed NLI this morning.
Ones who got away
-4-star running back Darwin Barlow signed with TCU. USC tried to flip the longtime Horned Frogs commit late in the process, hosting him on an official visit a couple weeks back.
-4-star offensive tackle Enokk Vimahi (Kahuku HS/Kahuku, Hawaii) announces he's signing with Ohio State. USC once held a big lead with him until Oklahoma became the frontrunner. The Sooners didn't have room for him after the transfer of Jalen Hurts, prompting Vimahi to choose Ohio State.
-4-star all-purpose back Keilan Robinson sticks with his Alabama pledge and signs with the Crimson Tide.
-3-star offensive tackle Hunter Hill (Orem HS/Orem, Utah) announces he is signing with Utah State. The former Washington State commit's USC offer appeared to be contingent upon high school teammate Puka Nacua signing with the Trojans.
-3-star running back Jordan Wilmore announces he is signing with Utah. He was once committed to the Trojans but backed off in the winter after opting not to sign in the early signing period.
-3-star offensive tackle Dawand Jones (Ben Davis HS/Indianapolis, Ind.) announces he's signing with Ohio State. Jones was choosing between Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, USC and Florida.
Remaining announcements/signings (all times PT)
TBD
-4-star wide receiver Puka Nacua (Orem HS/Orem, Utah) has decided not to announce a decision Wednesday. He has been committed to USC since the summer, but he will announce a final decision between the Trojans, Washington, UCLA, Oregon and Utah. Adam Maya has the latest on his recruitment.
