Tell me about the University of Southern California
Probably not but haven't some collectives started buying "exclusive NIL rights" to guys? Like TN with that high school QB. Because if so, that effectively prevents them from leaving for NIL purposes, although they could still leave and play elsewhere.

Crawford isn't even a starter and hasn't ever really seen the field so let's not get too dramatic. It'd suck to lose him but not some kind of fireable offense. Losing Barron would indeed be a case of negligence.

Guessing he doesn't like the move to the slot? Also wouldn't they both have had to submit their paperwork by yesterday? I know there are 48 hours to show up in the portal but I think they'd have had to submit by now.

Being mentioned as in "he submitted his paperwork" or as in "there are rumors / we had to fight others off"?

Yeah it's highly unlikely. With that said, NIL offers aren't just about how much money you can sling. They're also about how bad you want/need the guy. Ex: Nebraska/Mathis. For all we know, UGA may view him as a 2nd stringer considering how much they already have on their roster. If that's the case, they probably won't bid as much as another big program who views him as a surefire starter.

Really hope the Barron stuff is wrong. Losing our best CB would be a major kick to the nads. If we're willing to approach $600k for Mathis, $200k for Barron should be a no-brainer

Others have alluded to plenty of our guys being recruited elsewhere, so I don’t think this is right. Plenty of young guys that other teams would like to have even if they haven’t produced a ton for us yet.

Preseason 1st team all PAC but missed the whole year with injury

Kind of bizarre how well we did in the portal on offense and how shitty we did on defense. Watts sounds like a starter so that was a good one but idk how you fail to add anyone else after last years shit show.

This Addison situation could get real interesting. What if he enters the portal but the public tampering backlash/accusations make USC a no-go? Does he go back to a Pitt program that just cost him $2 mil? Or does he look elsewhere? We certainly don’t need another portal WR but if Marion can land him, no brainer. <5% chance but we can always dream. Edit: watch him end up at Bama

Well I for one am shocked it turned out this way. Shocked!

So when does Bama do their spring cleaning? Bama backups are obviously our specialty

Dorbah and Harris I guess?

As disappointing as losing Mathis would/will be, I gotta say - $600k seems like a lot for a 1-2 year rental who has had one good year and one average one. That number surprises me but maybe that’s market now days, idk

Coburn is publicly recruiting Mathis (15 min ago) on Twitter so I think we can scratch him off the portal list

I know there’s still a few more days but anyone else surprised there hasn’t been more portal action this week? I expected a lot more entrants, both from other programs and ours

Anywhere can make sense with enough NIL money

2022 Transfer Thread - It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
To be fair, NIL does make things a lot harder to predict. Sounds like Mathis will just come down to final bids. But yeah, if IT is hedging, it’s definitely not as certain as we’ve thought.

Kevin Durant Longhorn Legend
Idk what to think about KD the person anymore. He used to be such a cool humble guy and most of his interviews still come off that way. But then you see his social media shit (check todays) and it’s like wtf? Attacking Barkley and calling himself a “god”..

No way we go after another WR in Cody Jackson right? Might have been a better option than Hall for off field reasons but I don’t think we need 3 portal WRs. Pending departures, imo we gotta load up on defense with the last few spots - Mathis, an LB, and tbh I’d go for another edge. Maybe an OT on offense but doesn’t seem like thats happening.

Orange White Spring Game, Sat. April 23rd (Gates Open 4pm. Game starts 6pm)
Being held back in 3rd grade or whenever doesn't make him a more accurate passer or better at reading defenses. What matters is his "high-level" football experience. Ewers was in high school for three years, starting games for 1.5 them, and has zero years of meaningful college football snaps. That's less experience than most incoming QBs like Klubnik and Weigman. Shit, he might have developed more as a HS senior playing games and getting practice reps than as tOSU's 4th string QB getting whatever scraps were leftover after the top 3. So get into semantics all you want but if you don't think there are going to be growing pains, idk what to tell you.
