Talk about being indecisive. Kid left USC 2 weeks after enrolling, and is now considering going back to USC. I'm all for player mobility but this is just ridiculous.

I saw something about this last night and did some reading around the USC and Texas boards. Interesting, no word at all on Texas. In fact, he was singled out along with another early enrollee as being "stars" in spring workouts, etc.

On the USC board, there was more. There is some reference to a story that Texas never applied for his waiver. Supposedly there were promises or assurances made and not fulfilled and he is not happy. Nothing really specific or concrete.

Will be interesting to see how this story plays out..... It is looking like he will absolutely be sitting for a year no matter where he ends up...

I don’t think it’s ridiculous. As long as USC has a position for him and wants him back then he should be able to go back. If they don’t want him back then he just have to find another school.

USC looks like they will have at least one of their 2019 guys not qualify and there is the possibility a second won't either. It sounded like they had space in addition to that.

It's almost like that coach that got hired to be a head coach at some G5 school then immediately went back to his old school to be head coach there instead.
 
Things happen and people change their mind. It's better for all parties if that can be corrected instead of forcing someone to stay where they're not happy and will only add negativity.
 
Has anyone shown him where Arizona and Arizona State are on a map? Maybe he should just split the difference and go to one of them

To be fair, seems like the kid probably went to USC to play for Klimt. Kliff goes to the NFL and so the kid transferred. That doesn’t seem like that random or indecisive of an initial decision.

He got hired by a company and a better company made him a more lucrative offer. Happens everyday in the world.

As far as transfers I'm for letting kids transfer without having to sit out, but you I'd have to place certain restrictions on the transfer.

Not to mention Temple was compensated for Diaz leaving

All this probably really shows is that USC went into re-recruitment mode with some of these kids and that Bruuuu (and Texas) here might be a little more susceptible to whatever they're selling than Bubba Bolden and Miami were. I highly doubt they weren't trying to flip him back during that day he visited their practice. They're obviously in damage control mode on the sinking SS Helton.

Why should the kids have to sit out? Coaches recruit these kids, make false promises, then kids show up to campus and see reality. So why can’t a athlete transfer before the new fall term just any other student without having to sit out a year.

It’s just like you said, manny made a company decision. But coaches aren’t losing a year of the new contract as consequence to leaving for a better situation. Point is be 100 percent clear and hold everybody to the same standards. That includes coaches.

I didn't say kids had to sit out. Reread my post. I said I'm for letting them transfer without having to sit out
