NJDuck Author Moderator No. 2 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM Posted by EastBayDuckDad: U$C is holding a fire sale. Incredible that nearly every recent five star is jumping ship. Z Branch and D Robinson are very good players that would find roles in OBD offense and special teams. These high profile highly rated and now proven performers usually don't enter the portal unless something is really wrong with their original team and they have a landing spot already in mind.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 5 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM Posted by Charles Fischer: That receiver could be the next Tez... Zion is a former Top 100 recruit who played in all 12 games at safety for USC this year, recording 19 tackles, 3 PBUs and one sack. Zachariah tied for the team lead with 47 receptions this year and won the Jet Award in 2023 for country’s top returner. — Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) December 17, 2024 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 6 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:10 AM The school may not want to fire Riley ($) but the players? What does Jen Cohen need to see before parting ways? Pete Carroll is only 1 year older than Chapel Bill? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante had a really solid season at Nebraska and probably would break 1000 yards next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrw Moderator No. 11 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:28 AM What has Mr. Riley done/not done to have this many top players bail? Demonstrated an inability to win games, treated players poorly, broken promises, melted down...what? This is crazy, and as others have pointed, not something one sees with this level of player and this level of program. It's like when top executives leave a company en masse; something is very wrong at the top. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when top executives leave a company en masse; something is very wrong at the top. There is a narrative that the broken promises involve unfulfilled NIL payments. It could explain the loss of high profile and productive players. If that is the case the details will ultimately leak out. Riley's willingness to throw his players under the T-Bird can't help. Regardless, Oregon will be in a great position to pick up a prized position or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman60 No. 13 Share Posted Wednesday at 03:54 PM If you were a big time USC donor would you keep giving money to Riley (Thats what NIL's are really doing) to recruit players just to lose? They might be cutting off the faucets till Riley proves himself so they dont have the money to full fill their promises to players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
