At this point I'm more interested in the chaos and fallout if kk actually left usc... That would be entertaining to no end.

Uh no. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not sure about your reading comprehension. I'm simply saying you keep recruiting the position until your first choice signs. If your first choice doesn't sign in early period then you at least have an option with your second choice. Your second choice is not likely to be elite.Tequilla said:
This is one of the most fucktardedly idiotic thing I've ever seen on this boardwhuggy said:
Very correct. The position should be recruited up until Player A signs. Player B can also commit but should be told the offer is only committable if Player A doesn't sign in the early period. Then even after they sign all players should be continually recruited up until the first day of practice. After that coaches can back off slightly but still have to suck player dick because the new transfer rules means players on your roster will still be recruited by other teams.LaMichael_Corleone said:
Where is the upside to shutting down a positions recruiting and trusting the “commitment” of a kid when it’s backfired multiple times. This isn’t an outlier this has hurt us in multiple occasions to the point I want to know the pros about telling kids to fuck off do to a positional cap. It’s dumb.Tequilla said:It’s easy to play Monday Morning QB
If the strategy works nobody complains
When it misses turn everything over and blow it up
There are consequences to behaviors and strategies
Let's just say that there are 10 different positional groups on a football team (QB, RB, TE, WR, OL, DL, ILB, OLB, CB, S) so you're advocating for a +1 10 different times.
So first thing first, you're asking 10 ELITE level kids to be willing to go up to early Signing Day with a non committable offer while spots at other ELITE programs are filling up.
Do you realize how fucking laughable that is?
In other words, you're essentially advocating "transparently slow playing" guys ... which could be described as a similar strategy as to what is done with in-state players ... which most are all over for saying that our strategy absolutely sucks ass.
So what you're really advocating with that strategy is not having elite players on the hook but having more Plan B guys on the hook ... who potentially aren't signing anyway on early Signing Day as they wait to see how things shake out at the big time programs because that Oregon St offer will always be there still if they are good enough.
Just that what you are advocating is against what Pete has established
Now, he could change it ... but as is isn’t happening -
This doesn't make any real sense, why do these kids need an "excuse". They grew up rooting for USC, USC was their dream school, it's close to home, etc. That's all the "excuse" they need. They don't have to mention coaching at all, especially not a coach who hasn't even been there. If they're bringing @KkkliffKkklingsbury up on their own it's probably because they like KKKliff.Domicillo said:
Kliff is the excuse, he’s not the reason any of these kids choose to go USC.greenblood said:Has ford signed? Or is he still just committed? Because If Kliff leaves you have to think he won’t be happy.
And if you were a WR, why the hell wouldn't you like him? -
Welp, rumor has it kliff is interviewing, so either he resigned from USC or they backed off

Not ethically right! Lol

HE HAS A CONTRACT!

First time the USC fan base has experienced this, and they aren't taking it very well.
Kliff completely misjudged his demand, but so did USC. I would like to think USC didn't realize it either or they wouldn't have hired him. But then again, it's USC, and the stank of arrogance might have bit them. -
He’s the excuse that USC is actually changing their culture/addressing the problems that plagued them this year but that is far more about optics than fact. If USC didn’t get Kliff, their “off-season turnaround” doesn’t exist. He’s the only poster boy validating Clay keeping his job. But don’t get it twisted, all of these kids were going to commit to USC regardless, he just makes it easier to sell to the public.HillsboroDuck said:

Read what some of these kids are saying, Kliff never comes up on their own unless promoted by an interviewer. We’re saying the same thing, they don’t need an excuse for themselves, they already decided on USC, just makes it easier to sell the decision to others from a football perspective. -
We’re not saying the same thing though, I’m saying it’s very possible Ford doesn’t pick SC if not for Kliff. If Kliff leaves before signing day it will be very interesting to see if Ford waivers.Domicillo said:
