From an OU fan...Big thank you to USC for taking our offensive coordinator that thinks he knows how to run a whole football program. Riley knows offense, no argument there. He doesnt have the leadership skills to run a program though.
As sports fan, I can like and dislike whoever I want for however long I want to without your permission.😆 If you think he is head coach material, then you're just fooling yourself. He should have fired Grinch while at OU, but he takes him with him to USC and keeps him there for 2 seasons? Dumb. My only guess as to why is because Grinch had dirt on Riley. Lol
Dude completely Dodge the question on what was wrong at usc? He didn't even say why these kids left in the first place. What were the reason for the decommit besides "God's plan".
yeahh just goes to show J.D. Pickell is an idiot "reporter". he talks a whole lot, but really says nothing after 10 minutes. Appeals to the SEC audience though
There is nothing wrong with the USC football program, the athletes, or the coaches. The problem is the state of California. The state of California is not allowing donors into the NIL collective to deduct that money fromtheir taxes. Therefore, fewer donors, less commitment, and a downward spiral that will end in failure. Why in the world do you think Chip Kelly left California?
Wasn’t one of the main reasons Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma was so that he could recruit a better roster? 😂 he hasn’t had a better recruiting class than OU since he’s been there. Location isn’t the problem; Lincoln Riley is.
What is the over under betting line for which head coach will leave their school first: Lincoln Riley from Southern California or Deion Sanders from Colorado? I think both will have left by Thanksgiving or Christmas. Based on the response from athletes and recruits, they see the writing on the wall.
As great as the 2 5 star commits were, they were never a lock. Usc still had to prove their defense on the field. Their defensive recruiting will be dictated by the play on the field.
The riley era is dead, OU fans tried to tell you guys Riley isnt a good recruiter. He can get them early, but he can not keep them through the season. He will never have a top 5 class
Well, when your future coach is deathly afraid of competition (left OU b4 getting in SEC, tried to back out of LSU game, & just cancelled H&H with Ole Miss) I’d either de-commit or just flat out not take your program seriously.
You'd have to be a moron to sign a NIL deal in California with one of the highest State income tax rates in the nation up to 13.3 %. On a million dollar NIL bag. Right out of the gate California is taking approx 105k. The Feds will snatch up more with other fees like SS approx 40%. You will end up with half the million. You're better off taking a bag in a State like Texas, Florida or Tennessee (no state taxes). 100k is significant. That's a good size down payment for a 4 bedroom home in Texas or Florida. Young men need to start thinking about stuff like this. Where are their fathers to explain this to them. A 4 year degree is a 4 year degree. It's not the paper. It's what you do with it afterwards. I didn't graduate from college and I own my own business. FYI the income tax rates in Georgia are 1-5.75% in Alabama it's 2-5%. If these two were offered the same million dollar bag by USC and Georgia. They are gonna save a min of 50k just for picking UGA. I live in a NO income tax state for a reason. Newsom's not getting any of my money to squander on his social programs.
@thestorieshero I believe you are taxed in the State you earn the income. I know if you work for a California company and live in a State like NV and work remotely. You're in come is taxed at the NV rate.
It's almost as if....Georgia and Texas should pay their fair share in taxes and stop relying on California to keep the whole country's economy afloat.... and then those same states want to talk shit to our football recruits every chance they get on why they shouldn't come here because it's too expensive lol hilarious circumstances
Every LR team as the HFB has worsened, both in-season and season to season. The expectations folks have for any LR-coached team based on track record is a bit confusing…
He's probaly going to need to hire Brent Venables as A defensive analyst when he gets fire from OU. BV is really great at winning the off season and USC could use some help.
@@elvinware8033 No Caleb to bail out USC? Jilted or otherwise, you have to admit this is sheer drama with that $100M contract. B1G Ten gonna spank that butt
Everybody is jumping to the gun too fast. As much as we think distance doesn't play a part in some guys decisions, we are sadly mistaken on that. Yes, it's early. That just means USC is gonna have to keep recruiting these guys and others until signing day. And 5 star don't mean impact. A 4 star can definitely come in and change USC fortunes. So everybody relax. We already have a decent class and it's still time for it to be a awesome class. FIGHT ON
I think the B1G is going to make Lincoln Riley leave the conference. He historically has had huge offense and no defense. They shouldn’t score as many points as they did in the PAC.
@brandonmcbroom9209 USC will still score a lot. We have to take into account that part of the Big 10 being so good at defense is because a lot of their offenses are quite frankly terrible. A lot of these big 10 teams haven’t faced a Lincoln Riley offense consistently. That being said if the USC strength&conditioning staff continues to have undersized players then USC will get blown off the ball defensively
If a player commits then backs out that ONLY means he is a pay for play players. USC is not going to be that Texas A&M Bank of America. We all know what happened with that. Im totally fine with players leaving if their heart is not for SC. I'll take the heart and guts over ANY 5 star high school ranking anyday. High school rankings dont mean shit if you cannot bring it to the next level. Case in point. USC got the #1 defensive ranked player in the Nation a few years back. How did that work out? USC in my opinion got some excellent coaches on the defensive side this off season. USC will show it by the TRUE NUMBERS. On the scoreboard
How is USC supposed to go out and prove it with no talent? We have kids that should be working at the snack bar but you want him to go out and Sack LSU's quarterback? Get real.
Didn't USC suddenly figure out NIL? At least, that's what Reddit was bragging.... Now they find out 5 stars want more than just the biggest bag, they want development and a clear path to the NFL.
Word around USC football is if things dont change with USC leadership, Riley is weighing all options moving forward. probably leaving sooner then later
How biased can you be, Josh? Over there talking about Tennessee being a recruiting powerhouse with Georgia and Alabama. Lol, their last 5 classes are 22nd, 17th, 10th, 14th, and 17th. Yikes.
Exactly it’s rlly gonna come down to a prove it szn fo USC these next three szns to be tha top teams in tha nation and mainly a consistent program and team bc whetha ya like him or not Lincoln Riley is on of tha best young Offensive minds in football and believe me D Lynn is tha real deal and some of tha position coaches are too jus watch tha only thang tha needs to be seen tha I haven’t seen is tha mentality of being different USC is not hollywood or any shit like tha look it up we in south central LA tha heart and soul of grinding and mamba mentality and head down work Fr
This isn’t news. Why on early any 5 Star, especially on defense, would go to USC is laughable. It was pretty obvious that they weren’t going to land these guys.
As an Oklahoma fan get used to this. So many time TBOW let teams come in and flip top offensive talent like receivers, running backs, and quarterbacks and he was supposed to be an offensive guru. Decomits and Flips are coming!
It's nothing against USC and more about these kids realizing how far they are displaced from family and friends from home. They chase the shiny thing only to realize they are very homesick. All it is. Nothing to do with Riley or money. Kids!
Auburn just flipped Henderson from PSU... same thing! He's a small town kid. It happens to Auburn as well. You get away never having been away and the first thing you think is ' holy crap, what have I done? No you didn't join the Navy but you did something totally out of character.
NIL. USC doesn’t pay. Period. That’s the issue. Schrader for USC on 3 doesn’t report the real deal. The truth is there are a ton of issues with USC and NIL. USC is unstable here and unwilling (their collectives, alumni and school [the school too now that we know schoos can legally and directly lay players) and its recruiting will continue to pay the price unless they pay up. There are few kids who will keep their eyes on their future only and the NFL and development as the way to their ultimate goal and pay day. They want both. And will go to a place where they can have both. USC recruiting gurus had better stop covering up and shading and start reporting to fans the truth. Fans, do yourselves a favor: stop paying for recruit site subscriptions. They won’t tell you the real deal. They get mad when you want it, too.
Money $$$$ That's simply all this is about. Its gonna be this way now. Schools are paying 5k plus just TO VISIT so of course they are gonna waver on commitments and go collect some money.
Hey Riley... you're getting your come uppings...and please... As much as it has hurt the past couple seasons.. I would take the loss of Mr I couldn't win 2 heismans in a row and a 5 star WR and Mr I couldn't win 2 heismans in a row 5 star backup and the countless other 4 stars just to get rid your ass. It's sad the university is having each home game to celebrate the Coach Bennie Owen era and then the Coach Bud Wilkinson era and then Coach Switzers era and then Coach Stoops.. all 4 will be spread out through out the season. Riley with all his Big 12 titles could have have had his geme where he was highlighted.. But he $hot that away with how he lied after the Bedlem game about how he made it appear he had no interest in leaving OU. But all is ok... When he is fired after the upcoming season and he yeah he will land somewhere fairly nice.. But his legacy is done. Specially how he made USC sound like it was all that when all USC has in the past 30 years is a coach who cheated his way to titles and the same university that latched on to O.J when he died as a great Trojan. It would be the cherry on top for his qb to find a new home.. Maybe he will when USC takes a @$$ LSU, Michigan, Penn st and Notre Dame lites his weak @ss D up...
NiL needs to be Capped by the NCAA; Kids need to earn thier keep & not be able to demand unrealistic amounts of money and or be allowed to transfer without academic committment. Students should have to aign a contract for several years like Unrestricted free agents do in Pro Sports....NIL with no structure & Cap is Ruining College Sports.
Man naw. For years players could make 0 while the NCAA and schools made 0. If someone gave you $5 u lose eligibility. Clown talk if you saying cap NIL. Players get paid whatever you can. Nothing is promised.
@@Jralford8 Even the NFL has cap and rookie guidelines. Players can still get cut after the draft. Right now with no general set of rules, players are getting money in the bank before they even sign an NLI. There should be total transparency when it comes to amounts instead of the current secrecy. Total nonsense. There is nothing wrong with having national guidelines.
You guys are sugarcoating the very real possibility that Southern California will finish with a 6-6 record, one game better than the university of Florida. Then Lincoln Riley will leave Southern California and take the job with the Florida football gators.
I think it was just rated as third hardest schedule in the country. I don't think anybody is going to be like throwing a party at having such a difficult schedule
@@thestorieshero finally. Yall are playing an actual schedule no more cupcakes like stanford, arizona state, cal, and colorado. Welcome to real college football and next year yall will be playing georgia southern and some other g5 team.
@@Purp4040 SC is the only school to never play an FCS team. Don’t like cancelling the Ole Miss series but get real… every other team schedules more cupcakes than SC, especially the SEC.
@@jayrod1980 then lets get real by not playing in south dont get mad when southern recruits decide to decommit if you wont even play in their backyard.
Isaiah Gibson will be in Norman tomorrow and Saturday. Just a note. The door step of a top 10 class??? Now they are 17th. And JuJu is flipping to Auburn
@@mikehappy2620 True, December is a long way off but I'd put my money on UGA. A little less money on UGA where Terry is concerned. He could be rolling tide by Monday.
Lmao yep- not the fact that there are teams with proven RECENT track records of sending Dlineman to the NFL, winning/competing for championships, having the best defensive minds....and oh yeah being driving distance from home. None of that factored in 😂 just NIL...from a team like UGA who is widely known to NOT throw top dollar at high schoolers 🤦🏾♂️
@@thestoriesheroTexas and Ohio State by far paid out way more in NIL than UGA did. Kirby has made it clear to athletes that he doesn’t just give out money. You earn it.
NIL. USC doesn’t pay. Period. That’s the issue. Schrader doesn’t report the real deal. The truth is there are a ton of issues with USC and NIL. USC is unstable and its recruiting will continue to lay the price unless they pay up. There are few kids who will keep their eyes on there and development. They want both. USC recruiting guru better stop covering and shading and start reporting to fans. Fans, so yourselves a favor: stop paying for recruit site subscriptions. They won’t tell you the real deal.
Yes, they do. Perhaps not as much for high schoolers but they do pay. I think where they fall short is assuming that the marketing deals they can arrange, a la Caleb Williams, will make up for the difference but in most cases it won't. They need another year to prove the staff can develop. USC was never going to hold on to these kids. Way too many reasons outside of NIL for them to stay in the Southeast. Even academics, Gibson said he was interested in a Real Estate degree. UGA has a top 5 program and the highest ranked in the region. Lots of Dline Dawgs in the NFL.
@@thestorieshero I don't think either of them "knew" they were going to decommit. They got caught up in whatever Henderson told them, whatever money they were promised, and the whole Cali vibe. Look at Terry....he's from a small town in West Central Georgia with a population of less than 4,000. LA must have seemed like a dazzling new experience and they sold him on the idea of having his own barbershop while also playing football. He got caught up in the experience as most would. Plus, I think he's only 16 or recently turned 17. He's a good kid from a good family and I'm sure the process has been overwhelming and the money amounts seem like retirement money for his parents.
Athletes aren’t leaving Southern California because Lincoln Riley is terrible. They are leaving Southern California because California is terrible. The amount of money being exchanged really is quite irrelevant. It’s all the same.
@@StandOutProd919 ah yes that’s why California has net negative migration… because everyone is a Q Anon. I’ve been to California multiple times it is the most beautiful place on earth full of the worst people
What is going, man don't act like you dudes are crying for us. Man on3 are haters man. You haters been recruiting against USC with these two guys man all along. On3 don't try to play us like you care, USC will find, might end up with these guys, ya never know. Yet I know this on3 is a USC hater, for real, so save this bullshit for somebody that wants to hear this bullshit
@@ard2756he's saying that on three usually run smear campaign negative recruiting against USC which I believe is objectively true almost all of their reporting for USC over this summer has been decommit talk. this week has been like a Christmas to them
@@thestorieshero I picked that up but man I had a stroke trying to read it. In the end, juju will flip to Auburn and that's the only thing I care about.
They stated facts, yall was loud af in the comments, then when he claps back at yall when they were right, it’s a problem. I get it, you get it from your Charmin soft head coach.
USC fans talked so much trash about how they came into Georgias back yard and took their best players. While they are playing checkers, Kirby and his staff is playing chess. Win on the field and stop celebrating micro wins on the recruiting trail.

@@rynebozzell you responding to the wrong comment Ryne lol we're here to talk about what California did to you lol
FIGHT ON ✌️ We can fill those spots easily. Our Defensive line depth is getting scary right now.
😂
Fight on!
HUH? you think these guys are easy to replace? 😂 how many other five star defensive players does USC have in their 2025 recruiting class right now??
@@sector783this seems like a loaded question.
✌️
All these opportunities and they crying their schedule is too tough 😅😅
I think it was just rated as third hardest schedule in the country. I don't think anybody is going to be like throwing a party at having such a difficult schedule
@@thestorieshero finally. Yall are playing an actual schedule no more cupcakes like stanford, arizona state, cal, and colorado. Welcome to real college football and next year yall will be playing georgia southern and some other g5 team.
@@thestorieshero i seen some fans and media people calling to be in big 12 or acc as well... not a good look to recruits.
@@Purp4040 SC is the only school to never play an FCS team. Don’t like cancelling the Ole Miss series but get real… every other team schedules more cupcakes than SC, especially the SEC.
@@jayrod1980 then lets get real by not playing in south dont get mad when southern recruits decide to decommit if you wont even play in their backyard.
✌🏾✌🏾
Who could replace Riley?
Deion sanders
Isaiah Gibson will be in Norman tomorrow and Saturday. Just a note.
The door step of a top 10 class??? Now they are 17th. And JuJu is flipping to Auburn
De Committed after visit to Knoxville. I get it, just sayin
Gibson is not going to Oklahoma.....or Tennessee.
@@wpony714 Just saying. He is taking an OV to Norman this weekend. Who knows where he lands.
@@mikehappy2620 True, December is a long way off but I'd put my money on UGA. A little less money on UGA where Terry is concerned. He could be rolling tide by Monday.
@@mikehappy2620 Oops. Won't be in Norman. He's going back to Athens instead.
That is brutal lol
LR is a fraud
The problem is Lincoln Riley is soft as a coach
They got more money to go elsewhere. Pretty simple answer
NIL is what happened
Lmao yep- not the fact that there are teams with proven RECENT track records of sending Dlineman to the NFL, winning/competing for championships, having the best defensive minds....and oh yeah being driving distance from home. None of that factored in 😂 just NIL...from a team like UGA who is widely known to NOT throw top dollar at high schoolers 🤦🏾♂️
@@jordanbayne2083didn't Georgia pay more in NIL than any other school in the country last year?
@@thestoriesheroTexas and Ohio State by far paid out way more in NIL than UGA did. Kirby has made it clear to athletes that he doesn’t just give out money. You earn it.
@@jordanbayne2083 usc doesn’t throw dollars, if you think NIL hasn’t changed anything you’re brain dead
Easy y’all can just call them 4 stars and all will be fine
Josh is the biggest hater lol
They're going to whoever gives the bag
You just can't recruit to Oklahoma.
Extra medium shirts went out of style at least a decade ago
Why are you concerned about it bro?
NIL. USC doesn’t pay. Period. That’s the issue. Schrader doesn’t report the real deal. The truth is there are a ton of issues with USC and NIL. USC is unstable and its recruiting will continue to lay the price unless they pay up. There are few kids who will keep their eyes on there and development. They want both. USC recruiting guru better stop covering and shading and start reporting to fans. Fans, so yourselves a favor: stop paying for recruit site subscriptions. They won’t tell you the real deal.
Yes, they do. Perhaps not as much for high schoolers but they do pay. I think where they fall short is assuming that the marketing deals they can arrange, a la Caleb Williams, will make up for the difference but in most cases it won't. They need another year to prove the staff can develop. USC was never going to hold on to these kids. Way too many reasons outside of NIL for them to stay in the Southeast. Even academics, Gibson said he was interested in a Real Estate degree. UGA has a top 5 program and the highest ranked in the region. Lots of Dline Dawgs in the NFL.
Then why were these kids spin their wheels and commit knowing that they were going to decommit? If that just seems like a dofus time wasting move.
I don’t believe that. Never heard it before. They just hadn’t got the other offer yet
@@thestorieshero I don't think either of them "knew" they were going to decommit. They got caught up in whatever Henderson told them, whatever money they were promised, and the whole Cali vibe. Look at Terry....he's from a small town in West Central Georgia with a population of less than 4,000. LA must have seemed like a dazzling new experience and they sold him on the idea of having his own barbershop while also playing football. He got caught up in the experience as most would. Plus, I think he's only 16 or recently turned 17. He's a good kid from a good family and I'm sure the process has been overwhelming and the money amounts seem like retirement money for his parents.
@@thestoriesherocheck bounced, or they pulled they heads out they ass
Guys, it's chess, not checkers......
JuJu let them know that he's going to Boulder
Athletes aren’t leaving Southern California because Lincoln Riley is terrible. They are leaving Southern California because California is terrible. The amount of money being exchanged really is quite irrelevant. It’s all the same.
Lol here we are again.....man you REALLY hate California lmao what happened? Honestly
It is an amazing place… full of terrible people
@seminoleboy96 love a good Q Anon bullet point lol
@@StandOutProd919 ah yes that’s why California has net negative migration… because everyone is a Q Anon.
I’ve been to California multiple times it is the most beautiful place on earth full of the worst people
What is going, man don't act like you dudes are crying for us. Man on3 are haters man. You haters been recruiting against USC with these two guys man all along. On3 don't try to play us like you care, USC will find, might end up with these guys, ya never know. Yet I know this on3 is a USC hater, for real, so save this bullshit for somebody that wants to hear this bullshit
Bro what are you ranting about
@@ard2756he's saying that on three usually run smear campaign negative recruiting against USC which I believe is objectively true almost all of their reporting for USC over this summer has been decommit talk. this week has been like a Christmas to them
@@thestorieshero I picked that up but man I had a stroke trying to read it. In the end, juju will flip to Auburn and that's the only thing I care about.
They stated facts, yall was loud af in the comments, then when he claps back at yall when they were right, it’s a problem. I get it, you get it from your Charmin soft head coach.
On 3 is a dam joke only make videos when something goes wrong with USC.
Very professional ..
They reported immediately when USC landed every 5 star commit, it just stings when it goes the other way.
F on three this is trash
Fight on cry babies😂😂 SCO DUCKS!! 🦆
Oregon's degree is worth less than 1-ply gas station toilet paper, and Phil Knight made his fortune off child slave labor.
It's funny how much yall want to be our Rivals. Never gonna happen webfoot.
SCO DUCKS 🦆
Ore-go away, please.
GIBSON TO...........UGA.
TERRY To FOLLOW !
GO DAWGS !

Georgia is what’s the matter with USC
Why is USC even on your radar?
@@thestorieshero they’re not them 2 5 stars are Georgia bred and Georgia is going to land both of them.
USC fans talked so much trash about how they came into Georgias back yard and took their best players. While they are playing checkers, Kirby and his staff is playing chess. Win on the field and stop celebrating micro wins on the recruiting trail.
@@charlesdalton_93 exactly You can’t count Kirby out when it comes to high school recruiting
@@thestorieshero "Why is USC even on your radar?"
Because the players are from Georgia.
