I think so. I take it to mean he’s on board with going to Ole Miss but if we can’t sway Dart while he’s here then we lose both. We’re taking someone in the portal and Corral and Kiffin are both Cali guys. Wouldn’t be the wildest thing to happen. How hilarious would it be if Dart and Slovis left USC and CALEB went elsewhere.
5* Slade gave you 471 yards and 8 TDs in 2 seasons High 4* Ford gave you 629 yards and 6 TDs in 3 seasons High 4* Cain gave you 806 yards and 12 TDs in 3 seasons idk what else you want to call it. either they're all shit and PSU can't eval or PSU misused at least some of them because my god nobody averaged more than 300 yards rushing a season in their careers at PSU.
Slade burned out of football; he followed Rahne to ODU and just gave up. I don't think his heart was in it. Ford just sucks so bad eval I guess. Cain got hurt and hasn't regained his form. He was a beast before the injury. Nice of you to conveniently leave out turning Journey Brown, a 3* nobody but Temple wanted, into an NFL prospect before he had to medically retire. Sweet narrative you put together.
why would you think I'd mention a "3* nobody" in a post dedicated to talking about the high blue chip talent that did nothing at PSU?
I'm not framing it, that's just what happened. you were given talent, it did not develop. just suck it up and accept the reality, happens to every school.
it's a real shame y'all missed out on travis hunter can't believe you guys got beat like that couldn't even imagine something like that
I don't believe PSU did a bad job of developing those kids. Slade entered the portal and had no P5 offers, transferred to OD and washed out. Justin Shorter also transferred out after not seeing the field, went to Florida and hasn't amounted to shit. Cain was well on his way to having a good career before a bad knee injury (he may bounce back next season some since it generally takes a few seasons to get fully healthy) Ford had no hope from day one and I'm shocked hasn't hit the portal. But that is a list of some pretty highly rated kids that didn't pan. On the flip side PSU recruited Dotson in the same class as Slade and Shorter and he's likely to be a top 50 pick. Parsons, Oweh also in that class were first round picks and candidates for DROTY. Freiermuth, Luketa, Scruggs, Walker, Mustipher all in the same class have been or are projected to be drafted from this class. It's kind of funny to point out the lack of development at RB from PSU under Franklin when Barkley turned into the #2 pick in the draft and Sanders was a 2nd round pick
Our OL has been trash for a decade... possibly longer. I'm shocked we could land a talent like Singleton tbqh
This guy committed to UT when Kevin Steele was the interim coach. We wound up paying Steele $600,000, so not a great ROI. He was actually pretty good in practice. But apparently we are going to self impose scholarship reductions to the 85 for some reason.
If a good player goes into the portal, and then quickly withdrawals, it means the NIL deal he was told about isn’t actually there.
Saw him hit a 65 yarder in warmups that was halfway up the netting before the Texas game. Huge leg but has to have some accuracy issues
