Is a USC Rivals writer enough of a source? 

Spit out the hook before your lip gets ripped off. Then go back about 5 pages.

Lulz. I must say, I picked a great time to return to Surly. The last few days have been peak surly/shaggy recruiting thread. Feels like we finally broke in the Recruiting board on the new site.

Anyone still want to debate whether a 9.95er's bullshit can influence outcomes of these things? If that Rivals guy report is true and the USC team has descended on Bru's dorm room and trying to talk him out of leaving...how well do you think that would go for us? As opposed to him quietly putting his name in the portal and being done with things?

Sorry, no way I can keep up. I think I am just going to step away for a while and wait this one out.

You're not wrong.  But whatever prompted the McCoys to consider the transfer portal is still there, and it's festering.

This last hour has been a real time illustration as to how fake news spreads.  That jackass Swanson made up some shit and now it's literally all over the place.   Amazing.

To be fair though, didn't some USC player tweet something out today about making yourself happy and not choosing a school for anyone else, even your parents?

I think you mean French, Napoleon.

So when you're sitting in the portal, do they feed you?  Allow you any phone calls? 

You wait for your next leap.  There's some dude named Al you can talk to, but he's not much help without Ziggy.

Yeah, he's either a player or a recruit, I didn't see which. But at the same time, do you think that's the majority of teammates? What if only 15 guys corner him instead of 50? Is it even arguable that the road would be easier without all this?

Can you all stop posting for a few hours?  I have a meeting until 8:00 p.m. tonight and I don't want to miss anything.  Thanks.

Even when I dream of Bru, the sweetest dream will never do.

Cause I miss you, baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing.

If you missed the past 24 hours...you wouldn’t have missed anything.

Well... I did take French 1 four times, so...

I don''t mean to brag, but yes, my knowledge of the first few weeks of French did help with my comprehension.

Probably no effect on the outcome.  I can't imagine him putting his name in the portal with the AD's office and the coaching staff not being notified of the fact.

I agree with the premise, but if/when he notified the school he wanted to be placed in the portal, this was all going to happen regardless of what EJ's dumbass did. It's not like the coaches would have just said 'oh well'.  They would have immediately rallied the team leaders.

Pretty sure there are rules in place that prevent them from intervening once a player has decided to put his name in the portal. So, you'd be wrong. Sure, they'd be notified once he put his name in, because there are actions that are triggered from that. However, that's not even remotely the same thing as making it extremely challenging to input his name in the portal in the first place. And on top of that, if he WERE in the portal, then Texas could talk to him. If he's not in the portal, we cannot.

All these got dam stupid tweets circulating the same bad article are really making me a believer in the power of Russian bots.

Unless you stick to reading the newspaper version of the Times or the Post I feel like we're incapable of defending ourselves from this shit

Step away?  Why?  You got a job or something?

I am attempting to get away for the weekend with the wife and some friends and the amount of attention it takes to keep up with this thread it making that difficult. 

Also your mom is getting jealous of the attention I am paying to my phone.
