re: Free transfers this year, so Riley can take Caleb & Mario Williams to USC with him

I'm with you - it'll be a rough transition but I think you guys can find somebody more balanced in the long run. Not to mention how much of a chicken shite move it is to clearly run away from depth of competition for a place where it will be easy to play 1-2 games a year and pop into the playoffs.

Like cyde said above - this really could be a blessing in disguise for you guys, because you'll be able to hire just about anybody you want to hire. Lots of good options out there who have a complete, balanced view on running a program.

An underlying issue, that I believe factored into Riley’s decision is our compliance department. It’s extremely strict and can make recruiting difficult. I am well aware of our past and our transgressions, but that department is going to have to lighten up a bit.
