Morning Buzz: Leave USC And Thrive

I’m getting tired of hearing someone in the transfer portal was a four-or-five star prospect or top 300 player nationally.

Is it just possible they were overhyped by the recruiting services?

  • What do Houston Texans safety Calen Bullock, Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Christian Roland-Wallace, Arizona State safety Xavion Alford, Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson and Nebraska cornerback Ceyair Wright have in common?

They all got better after they left USC.

That’s what happens when you are no longer coached by Alex Grinch and Donte Williams.

Bullock leads NFL rookies in interceptions. Alford was first team All-Big 12 Conference. Roland-Wallace is getting playing time with the best team and one of the best secondaries in the NFL and forced a fumble Sunday. Wright has more interceptions and almost as many tackles this season at Nebraska as in three seasons at USC.

Here’s a note on Jackson, who was considered a disappointment at USC. He was selected as a defensive (skill) player of the week by the Crimson Tide coaches for his efforts against Wisconsin, Georgia, LSU, Mercer and Auburn.

  1. -True that the ‘star system’ of footballers is not always accurate, but the best teams get more of the 4’s and 5’s so there might be something to it

  2. Wiley is not worried about attracting receivers as he claimed that with SC’s “history of throwing the ball… there’s really not any better place to go play it”

    DON: He probably wrote that when his favorite party lost

    1. The season means nothing to Kamala. She is not a Christian. Embraces the anti family, pro abortion, gay marriage and adoption, anti Israel Democratic platform. Raised a Hindu, now an Atheist, and sends out Kwanza cards. Like Obama, she will always give deference to the Koran while mocking Biblical values.

        And they wonder why she lost, blaming everyone & everything under the sun. LOL
