BREAKING: USC CAN NOW PAY PLAYERS DIRECTLY

The light the torch crew will be discussing the big transfer portal News as well as giving updates on whats going on with the program.

[Music] welcome everybody to another episode of the like the torch podcast I’m your host B Jones and I got two my boys with me today’s been a little busy day for the for the crew man so uh you know we got some guys that’ll be out today but we’re here we’re here live for you man and we got some some news to bring to you we got some breaking news but before we get into all that we gonna give a big shout out to our baseball team guns you wantan to go ahead and take that away yeah man like like B Jones said shout out to the USC baseball team they uh went 2 and0 in their pool uh round in the Pack 12 tourn tournament so now they advance to the semifinals they had a 4-2 win against Oregon today and then a 761 against Utah Tuesday um so they’re waiting for their official opponent but Arizona Advanced Sanford Advanced and I think ASU or California maybe is probably going to be the other team I’m not quite sure on that part but um it’s excited two two wins away from a potential uh Regional and uh you know tournament um and uh regardless of what happens we’re above five 500 for back-to-back season since like 2005 so I mean we got the right staff so those those fans out there that like to harp on them you know I just give us give us some time there you go shout out to Ken Wayne with the start [Laughter] ear Johnny 5c what’s going on man fight on [Laughter] oh ken you might want to double that now my guy over here he’s hurting right now he’s hurting it’s not that funny all all right we got pause ourselves Fu I don’t know I don’t know what happened it’s not I didn’t make a mistake or anything I just randomly decided to shave and this is what happens okay so with all people being um accused of uh looking like a speedo you want to come out here look like for yourself [Laughter] that’s why I did it all right enough about me now PDF file man too funny yeah no my dogs instantly barked at me the moment that I I came out bet yeah I bet I bet everyone at my job like what the hell me all we where we at in the [Music] show we got some finally got a ding guys why is this Banner so large and he’s better than people are at least our fan base is giving them credit for it you know our fan Bas could be pretty uh not even know where pretty brutal yeah pretty judgmental yeah yeah a lot of things man a lot of things comor if it’s not like a five star fourstar defensive line exactly they freak out and say that the coaching staff is not doing a good job exactly even though you see them all over the place this week shout out to the coaching staff man they been hustling and bustling right now people are just over critical yeah exactly so that’s better our guy uscj mentioned in his videos If you guys haven’t checked those out man after the show go ahead and get those uh get those some views because uh he mentioned about the comparison between Gavin Meyer and uh Derek Harman right production is what we what we look at not the rankings not the whatever else you want to look at Y Pay Derek Carman one point what was he ask for 1.8 or something like that 1.8 million oh yeah for a guy I mean you know for guy who has the same stats as a Gavin Meyer yeah so you guys wanted you guys want a house of Victory to kick out 1.8 million which is almost twice as much as our guy bear is making right now for somebody that his stats aren’t even up to Bears par you want him to come in more and what do you think that’s going to do to the locker room yeah and people want say that um that oh it’s the conference and all this but like you know Solomon bird was from Wyoming as well and look how well he did so you can’t compare conferences saying oh the the competition different yeah of course there’s so there’s some differences but like it’s all about the coaching and getting them up to speed and that’s what we have right now we have the coaches to get these players up to speed like yeah people want to harp on him about his size we don’t really know his true size it’s just what people are reporting he could be heavier right now or whatever so I mean you can look at his frame and tell you can put on a couple more pounds yeah so and has Benny W widely not proven that he he can do that by now yeah he has a he has a whole summer to gain weight exactly I’m not worried about that at all I think my thing also is I’m I’m kind of slowly like less uh focused on on weight like I was kind of looking at some the teams last year and their rosters um terms of what they least listed these players at I mean they weren’t weren’t a lot of consistent 300 pound players right like you remember Michael Hall from Ohio State he’s about 290 I mean he’s not 300 I think Michigan was the only the real big team out there that had a lot of 300 pound guys Penn State didn’t really have a lot of 300 pound guys so I mean it’s all about scheme technique I mean uh Eric Henderson had a nose tackle uh 288 290 Colby young or or um kobby Turner is the name like yeah I mean we don’t need him to be 315 right get him to close to 300 and then he’s he’s going to be pretty solid for us listen the best to ever do it arguably the best to ever do it Aaron Donald never hit 300 pounds you know he’s actually undersized yeah people will get mad at you for saying Aaron Donald though I mean of course that’s you know he’s a oneoff but but you get what I’m saying like I think what would be best is if we have the guy at whatever weight that he’s able to move effectively you know will not be moved yeah so whatever weight that is that’s where he needs to be that’s if that’s 285 he can hold his grown at 285 cool yeah and do do these people not trust Eric Henderson to get these players ready for for for physicality exactly like if you don’t tell us just tell us like that’s what you guys are saying when you guys are making these complaints about his size or whatever is that you don’t trust Eric Henderson to get him up to speed that you just want him to be a uh what’s it called a hole filler that’s not going to do anything just weighs down the uh the offensive line so that’s not what that’s not what they’re coming in here for they’re coming in to get uh coached up by uh Eric erson to make an impact and not just be a space filer right so to me great if nothing more it would be I mean of course he still has to come in and compete yeah but he uh you know he he being a senior and very experience I like his eyes you know and then behind him I think that’s a great guy for a guy like our guy Carline Jones to you know s watching you know and learn some some things from his experience so yeah and I mean he he also also was pretty good at getting pressure from from the nose tackle and D tackle position um shout out to Rusty on this stat but he had a pressure of about 4.84% of snaps last season and that is basically higher than any returning D linan in the Big 10 so I again right you want to talk about the conference that’s fine and all that but stats of stats and he had a higher percentage than than these other guys so um yeah I like it yeah you watch that Texas game man I was seen a lot of film on that one yeah um yeah man and put it NC NCAA terms man the the video game we found a gym man so I I would take Gavin my over any overpriced player any day so I’m happy with and you guys should be too man so like I said go ahead and check out the video uscj dropped about it it it makes no sense that people were like where’s the defensive lineman where’s the defensive lineman and then we get them and then they start they still complain yeah our fan bases is never gonna be happy man yeah so question for you too do you do you feel like another depth D lineman is needed like it’s a must because like if you think about some of names right those we got Gavin Meyer we got bear we got Clifton Elijah Hughes carlan Jon Jones J um Pepe I mean Lucas can come inside as well at a three Tech um just yeah what are some of your thoughts uh at this point I don’t feel like we need it but it would be for comfort you know I mean I would be okay with us getting another dep piece honestly it doesn’t hurt we have the we have the space for it um if anything we’re going to need to focus on our offensive line right now uh more than our defensive side uh but I still wouldn’t be mad if tomorrow we had another defensive line player right absolutely and and going to Ken’s uh comment I think that’s part of how they viewed this this portal they they wanted more experience step and I I don’t mean to shout him out but Ben Roberts right the the D linan from Oregon I don’t know if he was truly truly experienced right to the level of maybe a Gavin May or a Harmon or some of the the others that we were kind of looking at so um yeah they’re not just kind of looking at the hype or the the ceiling type stuff now if uh Mason Graham went in there then yeah that’d be a different oh absolutely that’ be a different story yeah unfortun that’s experience right there yeah yeah experience and impact but we can’t have all we can’t have everything we want right NOP NOP unfortunately not all right so next portal P that see let’s take the time to go ahead and uh hit that like button go ahead and share with a couple of your buddies as well and if you’re not subscribed there’s a great opportunity to do so right now so we have right here in front of you you see the on Three’s Big 10 post spring portal Power Rankings and of course we we feel disrespected once again so um I don’t know what they see in Nebraska and Iowa that is so great sure Dylan Rola look good for a freshman that’s cool but he’s still a freshman still has yet to take any snaps in college football so then Iowa come on man just come on man at this point they just trolling us with that yeah I mean listen to me it’s just more bulletin board material for us man I mean they just constantly disrespecting us all off season so I can’t wait man a lot of these guys gonna be eating some CW in all honesty I’d probably put Wisconsin over Iowa what’s that I I’d put him over Washington I know that for for fact yeah I would have like out of these two Iowa and Wisconsin both teams that don’t have offense I’d probably put Wisconsin over Iowa would you put Ruckers over Washington no that’s that that’s disrespectful too they still got that running back last from last year ruers from ruers oh yeah he was leading uh the Big 10 for a little bit wasn’t he did he lead the Big 10 that’s a good question yeah we got got to learn the stuff now guys yeah now we’re actually have to keep up with Maryland and Indiana and Purdue hey watch out for Indiana watch out I’m telling you man they they are they’re coming up you know say they some say they’re gonna get the top QB out there we’ll see everyone says they’re gonna get Juju this comment I can’t say just that that’s my thought the right these rankings knew about the top four and then yeah not gonna lie yeah I think Northwestern is being disrespected as well in this really for for that coach for having that issue at the beginning of the year and I think they were above 5 500 last year so that’s that’s he I thought he got fired the the guy did but then like the interim coach came in and and you know just kind of took over the locker room would have UCLA above Maryland and Illinois for sure oh yeah and Ruckers to be honest see the thing about UCLA we just don’t know about them yeah I know it’s a big question mark but they got a little buzz they do have they do have um what’s his name uh from Washington the offens coordinator what’s his name uh EB Eric bamy yeah Eric B Eric Bellamy yeah that guy he’s definitely he’s a big name when it comes to offense so yeah I want to be some biam Eric benamy there you go that’s it but um other than that like they they’re were surprisingly they’re actually doing decent with recruiting yeah I mean good good for them yeah but that’s all that’s all the credit I’ll give have an NFL guy on staff you know you you got to draw recruits attention I mean that’s also what happens though when they take over two of our uh um operation um employees yeah Chris Chris Carter and Morgan Lawrence they’re now over there at UCLA so not saying that’s the reason but you know just saying they recruiting efforts have probably increased because of it right as long as they don’t take Annie Hansen I [Music] okay Ken it’s not even just me too okay guns was having issues too so if you if you if you’re GNA give me [ __ ] give him [ __ ] too not just me too F I gotta say though I mean I think Penn State deserves to be in the top five four makes sense to me and everything I’m just interested to see like who they have at the wide receiver position cuz it seemed like everyone left in the in the spring portal so like who does who does Drew have to throw to the tight end I guess I don’t know so well we have drew all’s uh number one fan in ra here all right but but a little bit under the weather so I’m put my camera off today feeling it no worries you got tissues in your nose huh dude don’t lie but we fight on sorry to interrupt but suck it ducks in with the duck head hey you recognize that guy on the top screen man no yeah I know I don’t know who is that guy yeah I see I’m the new guy we got a new one there it’s Jackie Chan right there black Chan all right let’s see what else we got man everybody seems to want to talk about Juju Lewis man listen I’m not worried about Juju I’m just not listen I’m be honest with you even if he decides to flip we’re gonna go flip uh what’s the kid stre yeah Long Street yeah you yeah we’re we’re we’re perfectly fine DJ wants to come that’s fine if not it’s going to be long Street 2026 looks perfectly fine we got Ryder we got the kid from Utah potentially as well uh since Ryder is more of a 2027 kid um yeah it’s we’re we’re we’re perfect at that in that room so what did uh Nebraska do to jump us other than keep Tony white uh Dylan Rola so you guys are really going to trust Dylan Rola over Miller MOS that has about 3 four years of college experience already listen well they’ve they’ve been picking everyone else that’s had less experience than Miller Moss but they they picked that Tennessee quarterback uh uh I am Mala and then also Arnold yeah I mean it’s not like Miller Moss was a scrub out of high school he was a force a fourar too exactly leite 11 final like top 100 player yeah I think people are just just like get not respected him after we lost Caleb so I mean yeah I mean I mean Caleb was generational Talent yeah Miller Moss has learned a a thing or two from Caleb and sitting behind linoln Riley for the past two years you’re gonna be ready so yep I’m really I don’t get the disrespect but I mean that’s only going to fuel Miller Moss to have a a breakout year this upcoming season and I might put uh a future bet there for Miller Moss to win the heist man you never know can who did I forget I don’t know I am AA y probably yeah Nico y I still know his last name it’s okay it’s okay take that two off and make it back to one oh so Chad at it um quick question I need you guys to tell me who you think will win in a one-on-one basketball game yeah why is this even I already know he’d win I’m not good at basketball hey you never know dude never know I am not good at basketball you never know look at look at joic he doesn’t look like he plays Ball but somehow he’s do not even put me on that kind of playe here he knows that basketball you can run 40 4.6 40 so I mean come on you got a lot of confidence in you I see that vertical my vert now maybe maybe in uh I know I I I Could Touch the rim in high school but that ain’t high school that was in 2007 my knees ain’t ain’t that good anymore I want to see best did did did his brother commit to UCLA I don’t think officially I know he’s he’s had some I know he’s had some crystal balls and predictions I don’t I don’t think so I haven’t been really following him but I think he committed to him no okay yeah if so think they did is he 2026 but who cares no 2025 and Walter Walter said that these rankings are just for the portal it’s not the portal right it’s like actual Power Rankings just after the spring and portal I mean the spring if if anything what did Michigan do in the Portal same thing same question for Penn State they lost W wi receiv series none of them did anything in the portal yeah so that’s why I I think I think the portal respects the rankings here right like yeah that’s what I’m thinking think Washington would be above us for the portal because they got a lot or maybe even less because they lost a lot too so I don’t know like we’ve gained some in the portal as well so it’s not like we just sat there we just didn’t get the defensive line that we were all expecting what are you talking about we got Gavin exp true man no no don’t underestimate that guy man I’m tell I did not say I was underestimated him I’m just saying so I see that as a win I mean who did we really miss on maybe uh I think Dominic and Harmon right other than that but we weren’t gonna like overpay for those dudes when we I think Dominic Williams was probably the best one out of all of them that we were hoping to get but we all know what happened with that so just fine but um all right let’s go move well what are we going to next what are we going to next we already talked about recruiting buzz but we can talk about we still talk about it because right now USC has three five star recruits in the 2025 rankings right now because Isaiah Gibson just earned his five star uh rank that’s right that’s right at least for 247 uh 247 sports right yepe so right now and there’s no I have knock on wood but I haven’t really heard much about people in there saying that they’re gonna Flip or whatever I mean there was WR about Gibson but still early it’s yeah it’s still early so just like just like Juju so yeah yeah but then we also go ahead I was gonna say pretty much the for for recruiting you know starting next weekend which we’ll have more uh details around that is our uh official visits we we start so every every weekend starting next week uh next weekend I guess you can say officially is when we started so every so on and so forth um and then I believe the staff is just finishing up some uh some scouting some travel um stuff like that meeting meeting the kids and and offering and stuff like that um so yeah we’re about to get into the uh the real fun stuff be honest in my opinion so because sorry to interrupt you there like Chen um I was going to say it’s crazy though because we’re in the running for like three five stars on the defensive line still um so we have a legitimate chance to potentially get anywhere from like three to four five stars on the defensive side of the ball oh for sure for sure do you guys think that uh if jacem Stewart reclassifies is he going to remain a festar uh I would say yes um let me take a look at the Players right now or defensive side so there’s Elijah Griffin I don’t know if he’ll be above Elijah uh I don’t think he’ll be above justice but I mean I think I think they what is it the first 32 players the top 32 players get a five star something like that I don’t know really how that works but uh yeah from what it’s looking like yeah uh yeah he he’d be close regardless but I I do think he he reclassifies he’s kind of really hinted at that recently um so it’s gonna be a battle I think we have a a legit shot at him too yeah it’s it’s to me in my opinion right now it’s an LSU USC battle Ohio state is there because of Larry Johnson but I think it’s really does he stay home or come West Henderson’s really good friends with Clyde Alexander his coach so so and talking about the spring game man he was attached to his HP man so yeah that uh spring game too at at their at their uh in Louisiana he was just basically like in the on the play like just involved in it just like what are you doing yeah get up close personal so right from the recruiting side what we’re we’re in the running for Elijah Griffin Jared Smith and then obviously uh jaem Stewart who else on that could potentially be on this 25 cycle I mean there’s a lot um I mean I me yeah Trad and old them I mean there’s Jared Smith yeah he mentioned Jared I mean there’s I can’t even think there there’s a lot they’re that’s pretty much been our I love that that’s been our primary focus is our defensive line so Jeff noticed something that we all noticed as well yep J keeps dropping in the composite rate ratings The Closer his commitment date because we all know the moment that you commit to UFC you just don’t have the the ratings yeah he Dro he was number one before though all of all of a sudden there’s like three four quarterbacks above him right yeah they’re like oh he’s coming to USC so we gotta put these other players above him right and none of their numbers compare the guys that are ahead of him yeah so we know what that is man I’m pretty sure he does too but regardless he’s still going to be a top quarterback and he’s the future for USC right now right next to Ryder Lions after that yetty on QV position if if all that comes to fruition which I believe it’ll that’ll be the case we got Juju R Ryder lions and then um what’s uh Jaden miava too right yeah y don’t forget my Utah quarterback all right I’m pitching that 10 for that kid all right don’t forget aboutuse that I’m just gonna say Utah quarterback because I don’t want Ken to yell at me for Mis misspelling or Miss saying his uh his his name so it’s my Utah quarterback you really you really P to be hon but for real though he has a connection with us because of uh Maya he he he actually comes out every weekend and trains with him so okay so Ken wait does juju have a commitment date um I don’t think he has an official date yet but I think he had mentioned that he wanted to commit before his senior season started right corre already or something like that I mean uh offic end it yeah exactly close out his uh recruiting like I said taking advantage of you know all his buits as he should all we can do is take him for his word until he decides to tell us something different exactly yeah the only thing I would want these kids to do like and I know it’s a lot to ask me that you know they’re young and whatnot but it’s like if you’re not ready to fully shut it down don’t commit and like just enjoy the the the recruiting if you have a top favorite school definitely you know start leaning towards that school but maybe wait until you’re officially done committing or until you’re officially um confirm that that’s the school you want to go to that’s when you commit but I don’t know that’s just me I just think like committing and then going to all these schools um not the greatest look I would rather Juju be out here recruiting for us rather than him taking visits no shots Adam like I said enjoy it enjoy it you’ve earned it but you know like if kids could just wait and Comm commit until they’re officially ready to commit that would be better but I see like I get what you’re saying but this has been going on since the dawn of time of college football so like it it’s just gonna keep going no matter what like every year every year we always have it’s not even just USC that has it it’s other schools that uh they have a whole bunch of people recruit or committing and then changing their commitments so it just it is what it is at this point yeah Ro you’re saying you wish that he was just shut it down and focus on recruiting right yeah I mean that’s what I would like him for him to do but obviously it’s out of my control and he’s earned earned all the attention he’s gotten so he definitely deserves I’m not hating on the kid I’m just saying like that if kids would wait to commit that would probably be the best thing they can do that way they don’t get like backlashed or anything like that or yeah be committing or whatever right just enjoy the process go go take all your five or six official visits that you want to take and you know when you’re officially ready to call it an in commit and then start recruiting for your class so I hopefully guju does that soon and you know starts committing or starts recruiting for us and and get a lot of the five star defensive guys and a good amount of the offensive players as well well like I said his plans are to shut it down before the season that’s still plenty of time to do good uh good number on recruiting so I think we’ll be all right all right anything else for the recruiting side of it we’re above or we’re above Oregon right now so like I said suck at ducks [Laughter] we got next we got the big news the NCAA is CED yes finally finally finally no so um it’s pending it’s not official yet but all signs lead to we can colleges will be able to start paying uh players uh directly or or through um they’ll be getting Revenue share so you share the revenue with players I think it’s a $20 million cap per team if I’m not mistaken I read how much is it 20 million 20 million each damn yeah but we know we know schools will find a way to make that 10 million for UCLA or something like that is that is that separate from the the TV stuff right this is like yeah that’s separate a whole different yeah okay so dang so we’re about to get 20 mil just for nil what 70 mil right for the TV Revenue yeah not that anle Phil needs the assistance here right that does suck that it does give Oregon more money too but but they’re not even getting nearly as much money from the Big 10 anyway so the NCAA would pay 2.7 billion over 10 years in Damages to both current and former athletes current up until 2016 so anyone before 2016 sorry man but uh oh damn so Su Cravens can get some right no no really 2016 he tweeted something so he thinks so some about they’re gonna pay for his birthday golf trip or something like that I F tweet that might have been his last year H 16 yeah okay yep see Nas get something yeah like uh yeah well he entered the actually it says he he was in college for from 2013 to 2015 I’m sure he’ll be looking into that yeah does this mean that so since colleges could directly pay players now yep does this mean that you know they can actually be in direct contact with these nil collectives collectives now and and say okay pay this guy this amount sounds like it yeah it sounds like it’s literally the pros at this point yep y so the president uh of USC can say Hey you could pay this person this much so and that’s the thing like what do we need the NCAA for now nothing we we don’t need them at all yeah like we just need them to make the trophies for us and then give it to us just make the trophies and then just hand it hand it over to us and then walk away y I mean if they’re not doing anything at this point what’s the point of having you just get rid of them completely yeah we definitely need a new governing body yeah but then we would then all the all the conferences need to come together to uh establish their uh establish a a system so I wouldn’t be surprised within the next year or two that that happens after this major major news I I can’t I can’t see that the NCAA is going to have a choke hold of uh college football anymore colle Sports in general Y and then um Rafael Orosco has a good question um would that be Revenue share from the whole school or just uh from revenue generated from football I think just like all sports oh really no saying that that’s what he’s trying to say sorry I I don’t know the answer to this question but yeah I don’t think you know they’re going to be using dollar from science is all I’m saying pretty sure it’s going to be you know what we bring in from sports sports athletic department yeah no it’s it’s definitely a huge blow for them and whoever the president of the NCA is probably trying to figure out his next his next uh job opportunities for himself probably go back to politics he was um Boston Governor or Massachusetts governor something like that some something in with the with that state or city let’s see I’m just reading the article right now uh the pending settlement does not mean student athletes will be directly uh considered School Employees though okay so they’re not going to be employees technically but uh let’s see you’re not wrong Rafa I agree with that let’s see football will generate a higher tuition so technically you would it should get a share of all revenue yeah yeah listen let’s not fool ourselves this University was built on football so yeah see see this is a good thing but then it’s gonna be a bad thing when it comes to like just recruiting in general like there’s going to be so many so many schools that are just going to be paying out the Wu for these players and it’s just going to be even worse when it comes to recruiting out of the transfer portal or just in general yeah I kind of agree with Jeff I feel like K’s football just headed toward a cliff like like I like I like the fact that these players are getting paid but not like this like when I when they initially announced nil I saw it completely different and I just hate fact that it’s kind of becoming like like a minor league NFL league at this point um in terms of How It’s run so I kind of want some of the old traditions to stay right I mean I don’t know that’s just my opinion but I he I hate that some of the Traditions are going away but you know with the conference realignment I don’t like conference realignment more than the nil thing um but if you we we can’t really say that it’s going it’s going down the cliff we haven’t seen it yet got see how things work out I mean there’s definitely things that need to be governed and cleaned up college football right now but you know the way it is right now it’s definitely it’s off the cliff yeah right I’m saying hanging by a hand right now in there’s a little more structure again in the actual governing body to I think college football be I mean you said it’s like the minor leagues but I mean pretty much always has been yeah terms Traditions are going to oh so I was going to say the I think the Traditions are going to continue I mean regardless of these guys are kids are getting money I mean like if you want to try to compare it to NFL I mean there’s there’s still robberies in in the NFL right like legit robberies where these fans hate each other so like you have those that tradition still so I don’t I don’t think that’s going to die obviously what we used to it grew up is obviously dying but yeah yeah see I I don’t really see any traditions I just see the way that players are recruited is is dead I guess yeah that makes sense we’re still going to have like the red R River rivalry like the uh the what is it called the iron Bol all of that’s still there it’s just fans are gonna be more upset with how players are being acquired no yeah I mean it that’s the thing I dislike the most it’s like like we’re all excited about this 25 class right um if if we landed and then but going into the damn uh what is it spring portal we can lose some of those players that uh committed to us just kind of like Alabama losing um what’s his name Woodard and US losing uh what’s his name the center right yeah that’s one Ken uh but yeah so I don’t know I I just wish they would put some type of some not I guess like some type of restriction like if you want to transfer after if your position coach didn’t like leave the school or your head coach you know if you want to transfer you have to sit out a year at the very minimum to get them second guess themselves in terms of like transferring out because um I don’t know I just feel like it’s it’s it’s like coaches and schools put all this effort behind recruiting a player and then two months down the line like you lose them completely it’s kind of like what’s the point of putting all that effort uh recruiting that player so like if if they can put some type of restrictions in that end I think it’ll make it a lot better in terms of just dealing with the recruiting and not make it as crazy as it is now I agree where you’re definitely coming from I would say like the Jason Z example I mean he I am he was really homesick I I I get it he you know left us in two months or whatever but I mean the kid wanted to come home he he wasn’t going to go get a bag at in in Ohio State or or whatnot um so yeah I do think there should be type of some type of parameters but I mean there’s like those you know one-off situations that just happen the thing that I think should happen when it comes to nil I feel like you shouldn’t be able to take nil your freshman year yeah I mean who knows I mean wait wait to your sophomore years that’s when you can actually start accepting nil because then you’re not being you’re not being talked to behind the scenes uh going through High School recruiting you have to prove yourself on the field even if you don’t get too much playing time you’re putting the effort to get onto the field rather than just getting the money and then not even seeing the field yeah actually do like I mean so two years two years with the school because like let’s say my Soph mare right I don’t I don’t get get paid my freshman I’ll just I’ll just leave cuz I’m a sophomore and then get paid you know like are you saying just two years you have to be with the school for two years or or be a sophomore because that’s two years to start to start taking an iil or to leave yeah correct start getting Anil yeah well like uh it’ be interesting if it’s you have to be at of a school for a full year to be able to accept nil and then if you leave then you have to start all over that’ be I would I would like the ex I would prefer that yeah so you can’t just jump ship and then take out another school because they’re giving it to you but you have to stick at a full uh you have to stick at this team for a full year and be on that same team to continue to nil something like that yeah exactly these n evaluations will be based off the type of college football player that you are not your high school yeah so everybody was good at High School yeah everyone like if you’re getting recruited by these schools you’re good at this point like you’re you’re good in your school you’re the top player in your school but then once you get to College you have to prove yourself just like the NFL you’re just not gonna be put on there because oh hey you did good in high school so you don’t have to work hard just to get onto the field you still have to continue to work hard and you’re going to have to work hard to get your nilo you don’t just have to look the part to get your nil John W say there’s need to be a pay structure in CES it be ridiculous if players have paid Millions without I mean just like the just like the pros like you have to get like a certain amount of sacks to get a bonus or whatever yeah like I remember jadeon Clowney was trying to get his bonus to get a like a specific like T tack for loss or Sack or whatever and one of his sacks got counted by someone else or whatever rather than him happens all the time H yeah I mean can can we go back to like one national Signing Day too I don’t mind the early signing period um like I don’t mind it but then now they have like four early signing periods don’t they I mean they have two oh no they’re adding another one right adding some more I thought it’s just unnecessary like I feel like and it should be not even well I don’t mind that after the the the regular season’s over either so but yeah there there’s just so many different things that they’ve added to it that’s it’s good in some aspects but then it’s negatively impacting majority of it yeah like I remember for national Signing Day I would get excited about national Signing Day and all that but now it’s like like whatever because Mo majority of the signings already happen yeah early signing yeah like I did I did like to like on Wednesdays you’re like okay you’re look you’re constantly refreshing ESPN or whatever to see who’s who has committed or whatever but now like it’s already in December and like Mo most of the of signing period is just like oh okay yeah maybe one person comes over to USC and that’s it then it’s just the most lackluster thing even though we may have like the top two or three class in recruiting regardless so yeah that’s what I mean by nil is kind of like impacting college football now like it’s it’s changing a lot well speaking of college football let’s talk about some college football 25 so we will be heavy playing uh right here on this channel against each other but after a while we’re going to get tired of whooping up on each other man so we invite some of y’all go ahead and uh join our memberships man where you can get in on the action too I got called out by game is yeah I saw it you better be ready Blacky Chan yeah might have to do a su cast that one I’m not I’m not calling out anyone I haven’t played this game in I I remember now I was looking at the covers it was the Reggie Bush cover that’s the last game I played which was5 I think it was 07 right was it 07 or I thought it was 05 we got to do the online D so that’s all I know I got I got to out recruit you guys I thought they said they I thought that wasn’t a thing g n hey you got hey you got to get a PlayStation over there dude you need to figure it out yeah you have plenty of time I’m to now man right hey sell that Xbox not crossplay for dynasty no for online dynasty no so so we’d all have to be on a PS5 to be able to go against each other for for online dynasty but like like play now it’s I’m pretty sure that’s crossplay like there’s certain modes that are and then just this one isn’t yeah B Jones you got you got you can get maybe you can you can get like $50 store credit from uh from Gamestop yeah you’re probably right too probably would be like 50 they always be getting you dude yeah I don’t get how they how they charge that crap but whatever disrespectful right yeah we’re all on PS5 so you gotta you gotta we get that you’re different B Jones so it’s all right we understand yeah you’re Xbox you’re Xbox fan and you’re a Clippers fan everybody yeah any other USC news did you guys talk about Gavin I’m assuming you guys probably yeah we did talk about Gavin yeah we talked about how what what are your thoughts about Mr Gavin Meyer dude no I like it I mean he has experience playing the nose tackle I know some people were saying that oh it’s not the ideal way and he didn’t go against the same competition but nothing beats experience so he might be a little undersized compared to other nose tackles but he has room to uh oh he has some time to gain a few pounds and he’s going to be working with a good defensive staff so I think you know the staff is going to get the best out of him and he’s going to produce and he’s probably going to be just as uh productive as Harmon and uh these other guys that you know cost three four times more expensive Jones more be tripping yeah hey we talking about gab man no but uh yeah no but like I said man check out usj’s video on that um he he gave a comparison between Gavin and Harmon and yeah why would you pay more for a similar player so be happy man we found the gym in my op Y and then nothing beats experienced like anything in the real world out there you can get somebody that has all these tools but he has if he doesn’t have the experience playing that position they’re not going to do well he has that experience I think he’s going to he’s going to have a chip on his shoulder and he’s going to outperform a lot of expectations this year in my opinion just like people are counting out USC with eight wins or what not I still have them going 10 two at the very minimum but that’s that’s me I have a few bets going on there so I don’t know if that’s me just trying to be a homer here but you know I really do think that we’re going to go 10 two we can even go 12 and zero 120 exactly I mean I don’t see one team in there that’s a for sure loss with us like it’ll be difficult games in there for sure but I don’t see one game that’s like oh it’s for sure lost right I agree I agree with that all these games are winnable I mean it’s a murderous role but these games are all winning hey everyone don’t forget to like the uh uh what is it called subscribe to the channel we’re still trying to get to 1,000 Subs before the you uh the LSU game so help us get there right I think I think last time I looked we’re uh % of our 50% of our viewers are not subbed to the
