Mater Dei kids to USC is akin to Glenville kids to OSU. You get surprised when they don’t commit to the home town school

 

[Thump]

Bagmen.

Is this the kid that got the 2.5 million deal with the stipulations of no visits outside USC?

I don't remember the specifics, but he allegedly is getting a huge NIL deal, so it's very likely.

That’s hefty coin for a position that is rare to play prior to year 3. The pressure that puts on coaches to play guys early to get the ROI is wild.

Get that money young man, if they're offering, then you take it

Get that money young man, if they're offering, then you take it

Tough decision

 

[Bestbuck36]

Too bad hes about to get an ugly lesson in California finance on his NIL lol

 

[pnuts34]

Too bad news about to get an ugly lesson in California finance on his NIL lol

Meh, he's still going to be an 18yo millionaire living in one of the most beautiful cities in America, going to a school with one of the most beautiful coeds in all of America.

Yeah, besides being able to wear a t-shirt with "Football Hero" emblazoned on it, there are dozens of exotic car dealerships in the nearby areas, that will be wanting to have this guy drive around in their product. Not bad. The USC area is not exactly a 'nice' area, but there are probably USC-graduate condos/apartments nearby for him to luxuriate in.

This kid is going to be driving a free car sponsored by some luxury dealership in LA, probably owned by a USC alum. And let's be honest, he's going to be living somewhere aided by the USC NIL collective.

He's probably going to be living in or near the apartment that Jahkeem Stewart is in
