That and he has it made off the field too. I wonder if USC's move into the Big 10 could potentially impact his decision though. That travel schedule is going to be absolutely brutal for them.

I know one player currently on usc and know one guy that got drafted last year. let’s just say he doesn’t run a tight ship. Inmates running the asylum type thing. I wonder how Caleb would look with a diff coach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i seen Kool-Aid McKinstry warming up with 100k+ worth of jewelry on, i knew times have changed. No way thats happening under Sabans watch 10 years ago. Kids have so much leverage now its crazy.

That travel schedule is going to be absolutely brutal for them. I think it will. It was a money move by the university. My guess is Riely himself would've preferred to stay and the Pac12 to remain. The schedule is going to be brutal from a travel and a W/L perspective. With Oregon, USC, Washington, and UCLA joining, one has to think the days of undefeated Big10 Champions are probably over with. 2 losses will probably become a norm. Whether Riley would want to risk a few 3 or 4 loss years pulling off his shine is a legit question. With what the schedule could be, 3 or 4 losses may be nothing to be embarrassed by from a rational basis, but boosters and media talking heads are rarely rational. If I'm Riley, I'm probably looking at the next job already. Worst case, he flops in the NFL. He'll just land another high-profile college gig at worst if that happens. He's in a win-win right now. If the transition to the Big10 goes bumpy, that sterling reputation he has right now won't open the same fallback options. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent been able to lock down any top OL, and theres been some top end guys on the west coast the last couple of cycles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank4Drake Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Honestly seems like Maye is gaining more traction and Caleb is losing a little. Could be a 1a 1b situation by the end of the year, like it was coming into the year. I remember getting crucified on here and on youtube for saying I prefer Maye, now I no longer get crucified lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve preferred Maye as well and yeah you take some heat. I really like both prospects a lot of course but I just see Maye as having a ceiling that’s crazy high and a floor that’s really high. Don’t think you can make a bad choice but if it’s me picking I’d go Maye and would have last year too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything other than the immediate consensus will get you crucified. I do believe we both were once flayed, impaled, and crucified for saying Jalen Hurts was a better overall QB than Lamar Jackson. 2 years ago, that was utter blasphemy. 38 minutes ago, FloydFan said: I’ve preferred Maye as well and yeah you take some heat.

Don’t think you can make a bad choice but if it’s me picking I’d go Maye and would have last year too. I don't even know if it'll be a 2 man race by the end of the year. It could be 1, ot could be 3, it could even be a no man surprise where the apocalypse occurs and the guys currently in spots QB3-7ish do well enough to make everyone second guess their strategy for taking a QB. I absolutely love Penix, for example, and I know we're not going to need a top 5 pick to nab him. Some may feel similar about others like McCarthy, etc. With big boy ball just now getting ramped up, no idea how things will shale out yet. If Williams has games like last week vs Washington, Oregon, and in the bowl game, it might not even be a 1a 1b situation anymore for a lot of people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on this train with you. Have had Maye 1a coming in, he's done nothing to deter me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
