'13 CA S Su'a Cravens (Verbal to USC)

[Duff Man]

The board's opinions on opposing coaches is always good for few laughs. Lane Kiffin sucks. David Shaw sucks. Who else am I missing?

 

[BUFFset]

If they have an injury season like the Buffs had last year, they'll be in serious trouble.

Everyone is thinking about outlying situations. The facts have shown that they can pull in 15 4* & 5* players every year and have a two deep that is better than 90% of College Football. The NCAA sanctions were not harsh enough.

Nick Saban. Even Dan Hawkins only lost to him by one TD. What a bum

Lane Kiffin sucks as a coach though, even USC fans agree.

I don't think David Shaw sucks, it was that Jim Harbaugh was really really good.

Lol. I'd take Lane Kiffin 365 days a year over Embree.

I think most USC fans today have a much different view of Kiffin now than they did when he was hired. He may not ever be an an Xs and Os wizard, but you do not have to be if you recruit lights out. I originally thought Kiffin was nothing more than a placeholder, not so much anymore.

Disagree. He is a good fit for USC. In Boulder? Fairbanks II.

With the way Kiffin recruits, how could you not? You also get Ed Orgeron too.

I thought he was a placeholder as well, still think he might be. I just don't think he's the right guy for USC, personally think he's playcalling is terrible and that kind of offsets the talent he has on there. But that's just me though, and I'm not in the heat of the moment during the game so I just sit on my couch and play MMQB

The NCAA sanctions went the wrong direction. Scholarship reductions help recruiting no matter the program. It makes the offer more special due to the limited numbers. If the NCAA wants to hammer a program in the future, it should not reduce scholarships at all. Rather, give them a multi-year ban on post-season.

plus make 'em pay back a couple of years of bowl money.

I bet Dan Hawkins could win 10+ games with SC's talent. All you have to do is say go play football

Not with Cody starting over Mat Barkley.

 

[BuffUp]

get so d@** tired of these teams dragging talent in over two deep and still sign 4* and 5* guys.... really don't even need a coach on the sideline. They can just play every game like a pick-up game and win, s**t gets old!!

 

[Unleash Hell]

Not with Cody starting over Mat Barkley.

you are correct

 

[Buffnik]

Not with Cody starting over Mat Barkley.

And a 5'6" walk on starting over Robert Woods until Woods learns his playbook.

Is this year 2 or year 1 of USC's scholarship limitation?

 

[Buffnik]

It was supposed to be year 2, but USC challenged it and ran business as usual until the NCAA ruled. This past signing day was the beginning for recruiting. They signed 30 with a bunch counting back in 2011.

 

[DesertDawg526]

U$C will not hurt with quality of athletes. They always have and always will average a high 3* to low 4*.

They are in year 2 I believe of sanctions.

What will hurt is depth over the next few years. When their starters get injured... Their starters and classes will always be at the top in the Pac if not the country. They are as big-time as it gets in college football. What will hurt them is depth. They are still a year or two away from feeling the full effects of the sanctions with their depth, but they will hurt (as in suffering .500 seasons, sigh)...

I wish Lane Kiffin was stinking it up but he's turning out to be pretty good for them so far...

Don't expect them to take on lower recruited athletes... Look at them to take 15 4* average players. Their depth and coaching is the only thing that will limit them.

Now, if/when Oregon hits the sanctions.... THAT will hurt:devil: They are not U$C and cannot weather the same sanctions in the same way...

after the 2013 class, the 2014 will be the last class with restrictions of 15.
