OT: Rumors of Mass Transfers from USC

Submitted by HimJarbaugh on September 20th, 2016 at 2:32 PM

This is coming from r/cfb whose sources are a couple posts from a USC board, but it sounds like the transfer talk is legit.

Allegedely OL EJ Price punched head coach Clay Helton and is transferring to Georgia. The post also mentions a number of other players that plan to transfer:

Freshman Safety Jamel Cook
Junior OT Chuma Edoga
Junior QB Max Browne

The post also mentions Adoree Jackson and Juju Smith however I am not sure if those would be transfers as they are probably NFL-ready.

Apparently Helton will address the situation today but if there are lots of transfers, this can't be a good look to recruits.

If past history serves, they'll offer several hot top-20 coaches but end up bringing John Robinson out of retirement.

Any chance Urban looks at this job? 10M a year plus live in S CA and he would never have to leave campus to recruit. I could see this.

his youngest kid graduates from high school. He has said that several times and I believe it. I think his youngest kid is a junior.

Depends on why you think he left Gainesville, but I have a feeling Southern California is not in his future.

Why would he leave osu for any other college job. Have you seen his class next year...clearly his location isn't holding him back.

He's from Ohio, I doubt he'd leave for nay other job unless it's NFL (based on that interview he did before the Oklahoma game).

EJ Price is definitely leaving USC but Helton says it is for personal reasons and he didn't punch him. Apparently he hasn't even been at practice. Sounds like he is going to transfer closer to home. Probably Georgia.

I knew the Murphy kid should've came to Michigan, be nice to see him want out and have a second chance at signing him.
