Georgia DL Bear Alexander transferring in. That’s a decent pick up

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.

It should be easy for every team in the country to recruit against USC for high school prospects, right?

I'd imagine the pitch would be something like this: "Unless you're an All-American or All-Conference player as a true Freshman they will get the best player in the portal at your position every year and you'll be riding the bench your entire career."

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…

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...

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