    It's not that $$$ is beneath USC ... that being said, if you get out recruited less than a week after an official visit tied into the bulk of your class and SC can get you to visit ... questions need to be asked ...

    It's easy to claim foul play ...

    Looking at it internally and figuring out the breakdown also needs to take place ...

    Dropping the ball like this in the corporate world would be viewed as a terminable offense depending on the facts and circumstances

    Oh Christ. Fire all the coaches. We're back to 0-12.

    In case you haven't followed football for the last 25 years, USC gets who they want, especially when they are good.

    Also, rumors out there now that Tui had been secretly talking and meeting with USC coaches for the last month and had this planned. Was going to visit last week and Pete found out so he lied to Pete .
    Wow, lied to pete

    Like I said ... you don't make decisions without understanding the facts.

    Getting outworked by Nansen on this is a giant miss though ... you can't sugar coat that.

    Perhaps equally as fucked up was the strategy of only recruiting 1 DL/DT this class ... we put ourselves in the position to get absolutely fucked over and the sharks have circled on us not only here but elsewhere in the class.

    As we keep recruiting at this level this will become more a norm ... what is Pete going to do about it? He has multiple evidence in this class that this can happen ... what has broken down? What needs to change?

    As for USC they are the massive gorilla in our conference ... to get to the top of the mountain we have to first prioritize beating them both on and off the field. We didn't beat them on the field this year and it is going to cost us MASSIVELY in the court of public opinion ... but we MUST over time change the narrative against them ... it will not happen overnight ... but this offseason is the reminder to EVERYBODY that this is ALWAYS the immediate great challenge for the program ... and I say that as someone less than a month ago didn't realize how badly this month was going tonplay out for us ... didn't take long after the Rose Bowl to read the writing on the wall.

    There are elements of the recruiting system that I think they need to re-evaluate going forward that have been exposed a bit in this class ...

    Oh please. If he wanted to check out USC a month ago he would have done it.

    No need to think some 17 yr old kid is going James Bond on a coach he clearly has an affinity for, whether he commits here or not.

    It's too easy to default to blaming $$$ ...

    The miss starts on our end by not closing the potential openings ...

    Teq we are just bsing and coming up with excuses for our program's shortfalls.

    I just hope he did not pull a conny wedding move. If he did, then I would be interested to see if Peterman sticks to his principals and pulls the offer.

    This guy has been comited since April and has not wavered once. Yes it looks bad but it also looked really bad for Miami with dj. Jones looked all but gone at one point. Let's let this play out before we take out the pitchforkd

    There's always things in recruiting that smell fishy ...

    If you don't play the fishy game your job is to shore up openings and if you have reason to be concerned you either fix it or move on to a contingency plan ...

    The miss here for me is less about 1 particular recruit but the big picture elements ...

    By only recruiting 1 in the class at a priority position on the field we opened ourselves up to a massive potential liability ...

    We have now apparently had at least 2 recruits in this class that have given verbals for this class and then carried on their recruitment in the shadows behind the scenes ...

    Do we have issues with our recruiting strategy that we need to address?

    How do we combat going forward the reality that basically the entire conference will be trying to go after our verbals and targets?
