Worthy transfer to USC??

Worthy, See my Post above ... mostly size and strength problem.

Bijan - I Like Bijan, but...many times when he runs up to the line he stops and tries to juke his way out of a situation and usually ends up with no yardage (like the whole TCU game it seemed). He is great when he hits the line at full speed running at/through someone which is when he is most able to break a tackle. Which he used to do quite often. Can't break a tackle standing still.

Sadly, some of these kids don’t have the maturity, judgment and insight to process a decision such as this one. That is, if indeed he is considering a transfer.

I can’t think for him, none of us can. But why would he transfer?

More NIL money? I suppose that’s possible.

More playing time? Negatory.

Being targeted more? Again, Negatory.

Having a more accurate passer throwing to him? Perhaps. But his issue is less about passing accuracy and more about catching the passes thrown to him. Caleb Williams cannot catch the ball for him.

Having a better play-caller? Ethically challenged LR, or Sark? Certainly not a compelling reason to leave Texas.

Homesick? Perhaps. LA is closer.

Doesn’t like the Texas team culture? Seems unlikely.

It just doesn’t add up so if he were to transfer, it would likely be an emotional decision, not a well thought out one.
 
If he’s smart, he knows this years showing has not opened NFL scouts eyes in a positive manner. I’m guessing he wants to be 3 years and done. If so, he can’t risk another year like this one. Anyone movement could be with the thought that he needs feel comfortable with the QB. With a Lincoln Riley, QBs and WRs typically win.

Rumors people.. might, but has not happened yet.

True. Correct me if I’m wrong though but over the past summer (or was it the spring), there was genuine concern that we might lose him. So any rumors about a possible transfer now would have an historical basis justifying concern. In other words, this is not the first time we’ve heard such rumors.
 
Anyone who flirts with another school needs to leave. One of Herm's faults was begging people to stay, especially the cancers. Sark said it best, he wants people that are here 100%, no room for players dipping their foot in the water.

I think i'd take the Worthy to USC, Stewart to Texas rumors.... I'm tired of dropped footballs, not going after 50/50 balls etc. Hopefully this is just BS from USC folks and we get both Worthy and Stewart next year. Assuming we will be losing several wide outs to transfer portal in Dec so assuming Sark has already identified 2 WR's that could be transferring.
 
Not that it matters, but I was told by compliance that players cannot enter the portal until December 6 or 7. Anyone know about that rule?
 
I thought athletes could enter the portal during certain windows, different for fall and winter sports, but coaches can't pluck them out of the portal until December 6, or so.

Thats how I interpreted the rule, but heck, idk :idk:

I truly believe the Worthy rumors were generated from within Lincs camp. That stuff was clearly part of his MO at ou
 
Here we go.....


College Football Playoff, bowl predictions 2022: Paths the seven remaining contenders must follow



The NCAA Board of Directors on Wednesday adopted several measures designed to assist with the mass influx of athletes entering the transfer portal while also modernizing its infractions process. Rubber stamped are new rules creating dedicated transfer windows for players to enter the portal, though the board officially shelved a proposal that would have allowed players to transfer unlimited times without penalty.

Separately, the board green lit three proposals submitted by the Transformation and Infractions Process designed to focus resources toward the most serious violations.

The transfer windows, which will go into effect in time for the 2022-23 season, will allow 60 days per year for athletes to enter the portal and maintain immediate eligibility for first-time transfers. For fall sports like football, the period will be split into two periods. The first, a 45-day period, will start the day after championship selections are made. A second window will be instituted from May 1-15 so players can enter the transfer portal after spring camp.

Spring sports, like basketball, would effectively have a reverse calendar; the first window lasting from Dec. 1-15 and the second being a 45-day window that starts the day after championship selections. For winter sports, the 60-day transfer window would be a continuous period that begins the day after championship selection.

The Division I Council endorsed proposed transfer periods in July but later reviewed a handful of issues relating to the legislation, including impact of name, image and likeness opportunities and academic questions.

"Like their peers in the general student population, college athletes choose to transfer for any number of reasons," said Georgia president and board chair Jere Morehead in a statement. "We believe the changes enacted today enable member schools to adapt to students' needs, while also positioning students for long-term academic success. These changes to NCAA rules recognize further study is needed on graduation rates before we consider authorizing multiple transfer opportunities with immediate eligibility. We will continue to review potential modifications to transfer rules as the landscape evolves over time."

All athletes will be guaranteed financial aid at their next schools through completion of their eligibility or completion of an undergraduate degree. Extra consideration if a player either loses their head coach or has their scholarship adjusted.


While the unlimited transfer rule was declined, the board created a more flexible process for athletes to apply for immediate eligibility waivers outside of the one-time transfer rule with considerations given to athlete welfare and well-being.

The NCAA revealed in the spring that 950 undergraduate football players entered the transfer portal in 2021, up from 587 the previous year. A total of 54% of those players enrolled in another institution, 5% removed their names from the portal to return to their school and 41% were still in the portal at the time the report was released in April.

Many coaches have expressed frustration at the seemingly never-ending roster movement that has become commonplace since the portal was created. Utah quarterback Charlie Brewer, for example, entered the portal after three weeks as the Utes' starter in order to retain eligibility. He later enrolled at Liberty, his third school in as many years.

More recently, former Bowling Green and West Virginia quarterback Jarret Doege transferred to Western Kentucky before spring camp. After losing the starting quarterback job at WKU, Doege entered the portal and transferred again to Troy just four days later as a graduate transfer.

Infractions process streamlined: The NCAA board also released new guidelines to "modernize" the infractions process and provide quicker resolutions to rule-breakers. Notably, the NCAA will get rid of the Independent Accountability Resolution Process, created in 2019, because of the number of cases referred to it slowing down the process. The five existing cases in the IARP will be resolved using that process, however.

New rules will also limit causes for appeals, increase the standard for overturning appeals and take arguments before the committee from oral to written form. Finally, the NCAA will limit instances of extending the timeline for decisions to "extreme and clearly defined circumstances." These measures will take effect on Jan. 1, 2023.
 
Wasn't really planning on talking about this, but I was approached with an NIL deal from Surly Horns recently. Though it was lucrative, after much prayer, and discussion with friends and family, at the end of the day, I just couldn't see myself posting elsewhere.

So with that said.....I'm staying home :hookem:

No interviews please.

I'd prefer he stay but if he goes oh well. Next man up. I know a lot of this might be due to QE not being able to hit the broad side of a barn, but he's only had one 100 yd game this year and is averaging 41 yards per game the last six games. He's being double teamed a lot and he isn't physically gifted enough to fight through that.

Also, I don't really put a lot of stock into all these rumors. I've heard nothing of him being dissatisfied nor upset about anything so I'm not sure why this would even be out there.
 
I hope he stays, but I think it is a mistake if he leaves. SC is loaded at WR so he would probably see less targets. We will be fine at WR regardless.
 
Iffin he gose, I cun see dis hapnin':

I believe that he is a true sophomore, from the 21 class. So he couldn’t leave until after next year.

Caleb Williams, 2021 Dual Threat Quarterback - Rivals.com

Nauseatingly, he’ll probably win the Heisman this year. (Puke.) That is unless he stinks it up against ND (one can hope) and Stroud lights it up Saturday.

What's with the hate for the guy? Because he lead a big comeback against us? That's lame as hell.
I saw story about him on ESPN and Riley's was like 98% of the reason he signed with OU in the first place. I've no problem with him following Riley to USC.

Well I_Don’t_Exist, We Don’t Agree.

Riley made his name at OU. To devastate the program that put you on the map is “not” OK to me. I don’t give a flip if — supposedly — Williams wanted to join him at USC. There is right and wrong. Sadly, that doesn’t matter to some folks, like Lincoln Riley.
 
Don't know anything about this guy as a football coach but he speaks truth about the transfer portal. Worth the listen.

Supposedly? Doubt Riley has compromising photos of him with a goat. On the other hand your concern for the status of OU's program is most touching.
