He really should play defense. We have no shot. He's going to USC.
The portion of the linked article that was posted here was pretty misleading. He talked about how he loved every coach and the campus. He has a great relationship with Cristobal, Taggert, and he loved Chip.
At the end, he says he will visit Texas, USC, And UW. This was the only somewhat useful information. The rest was just praising every school on his list. It's all a waste of time because he's not leaving LA.
Which is just CRAZY to me. Go read the pre-draft player bio for ANY USC player in the last five years or so. Find ONE that talks about how well-coached and polished they are. Just one will do. I don't think you'll find even one that talks about how well coached up they are. It's all, "Tremendous athlete, but raw." "Great potential, good instinct, just needs to work on the fundamentals of the position." And Chip is a great offensive mind who can scheme the hell out of an offense, but does he actually develop offensive *players* other than QBs? De'Anthony Thomas was ELECTRIC, he went late 4th round. Chip never developed a good WR his whole time at Oregon; his best skill position success were TEs in the last 3rd round.
I get it, the whole staying close to home thing is still a draw for guys, but this is your long-term future here. Is this really something you want to put in the hands of coaches that don't seem to get the most out of players on a consistent basis?
