USC recruiting and everything else

This is going to destroy USC's academic prestige.

- off the record comment from an ND Board of Trustee.

Most of the best colleges aren’t football powerhouses, so there might be something to that line of thinking. Given the state of college football I can see having to deal with everything that is going on being a complete distraction from the academic mission of many institutions.

It is also interesting that all of the “elite” football programs at the moment are public schools.

Don’t need to be financially responsible if you’re playing with the state’s money…

I can’t remember off the top of my head if it’s the same guy, but isn’t he the UGA player, who would be a starter on UGA this year, who played at like 3 different HS in 4 years, and now is looking to leave (as a starter) the 2 time defending national champ, for a pay day.
So USC met his money demands.

Apparently he was told by the staff he should enter the portal but yeah he was always in their DL rotation

From what I've read, the dude is kind of a head case.

Apparently skipped practice to go to Mexico and wasn't well liked in the locker room, and is generally pretty lazy despite his talent.

Yeah, I don't see this working out the way $C thinks it will.

Sounds like going to Los Angeles is the best environment for someone like him!

Hopefully it’ll be more of the same in the USC locker room.

Just watched their spring game and I don't really see the quick reaction to chalk this up as a loss. I thought OSU looked better, tbh. The USC defense still looks poorly coached, despite all the transfers. I think we win by double digits.

Is there any backstory to why Mike Bohn resigned? He'd only been there three or four years. Seems to have stabilized things...

stlnd01 · May 19, 2023

Ah. That's a shame.

IrishSpartan · May 19, 2023

Wonder if this has anything to do with the NIL thing they are dealing with now

Don’t know the story. There’s absolutely a story.

Valpodoc85 · May 19, 2023

That will effect on field performance

Don’t know how true, but I saw a tagline that it is due to health issues.

Yeah that was the front, but it sounds like he ran a sloppy shop in the athletic department.

Why??? Don’t we want our rivals to be strong and then lose to ND? Why have a reason other than ND being good for their losing to us.

Sure. USC being good makes it better when we beat them. But I don't really really care. I just want them to suffer (and lose to us).

That's where I'm at. I love beating rivals when they're good, but enjoy it just as much when ND hammers them when they're bad.

No, SCum can die a horrible death

I think you're flying solo on this one. I want them to suffer, don't care how.

I want all of our rivals to be as weak as possible. It'll help us on the field and in recruiting.

Agreed. We got enough dragons to slay. Don't need SC up there too.

And Bohn hired Lincoln Riley, he comes across as a smug coach to me.
