USC recruiting and everything else

[BoredIrish]

So much for Riley as being a QB guru.

Cole Leinart, yes, Matt’s son, just committed to SMU, class of 2026. Shit, I feel really old now.

Imagine sucking AND being put on probation in the process

I definitely respect this decision.

Kid is from Oaks Christian... It's unbelievable how bad Lincoln Riley is at recruiting SoCal.

Maybe he should stop wearing his OU Nikes.

When juju and the ot flip to colarado…

 

[Irish#1]

And everyone was worried about USC becoming a juggernaut again, when they hired Riley. Seems the guy can't get out of his own way.

I can unders a 3 star going to Auburn but Auburn must be playing a shit load of cash for these players.

I think Arnoux has a pretty good reputation locally, he plays at Carrollton which is pretty solidly in the Auburn orbit both geographically and in familiarity to the program. With a JuJu flip on the horizon, I wouldn’t be shocked if Arnoux wasn’t inclined to stick around for his current teammate’s sake anymore

If Juju flips, the flood gates could swing wide open.

ND should make sure they stay in touch with Tanook Hines.

Someone ping Fortuna and remind him of his 2022 post USC pod comments. I’m still mad it to this day lol

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Fortuna doesn't actually watch any college football.

I've said it before, but he is the asshole kid with glasses from Polar Express

When thinking of the Notre Dame beat, there isn’t anyone less knowledgeable of Notre Dame football than Fortuna

 

[JadedDomer]

Sampson also bugs me. He has an "I'm too good to be here" vibe. I think he has a balanced view and is insightful, just a bit smug.

Fortuna was fine when he covered Notre Dame as his job for ESPN. But that was a long time ago. Listening to the podcast he and Sampson do now for The Athletic, he has no particular access or sources. At most he attends a couple of games a year, and probably knows less about the day-to-day of the program than most of us do.

Dumpster fire.

These schools are going to reap what they sow. It's going to cost a fortune to get this guy to go away.

NCAA sanctions give Southern California ammunition to fire Lincoln Riley and escape contract

If Southern California truly wants to get out from under Lincoln Riley's mega contract, the NCAA just gave the school the ammunition to do it.

If this gets them out of the Riley contract and they end up hiring Cignetti, I'm going to be pissed.

I dont think Cignetti would take that job, not really his style. Just popped into my head but I could see him staying at Indiana and waiting for the PSU job to open up. He would kill it there.

IMO, a coach like Cignetti is exactly what USC needs so I hope they keep going after the newest offensive wunderkind to squeeze 2% more production from their cast of five star skill players.

Yeah, I think Cignetti would absolutely crush it at USC. He'd be the grown up in the room the program has needed for the past decade.

Worst case scenario, IMO.

 

[rikkitikki08]

If ND crushes them I could see them firing him. Especially if they can figure out how to for cause due to being on probation
