USC QB JT Daniels Enters Transfer Portal

Daniels is eligible to be granted a waiver if he decides to transfer from USC. If granted when he transferred he would be eligible to play immediately. But if he picked a PAC-12 team USC as a member of the PAC 12 has the unilateral right to require under those circumstances to require Daniels to have to sit out the first year at his new school.
That’s mostly dependent on the one time transfer exception becoming a reality in May...as strongly rumored. Former teams don’t have a say anymore regardless...conference or no.

Another argument against adding Daniels is transferring within the conference. Coaches can block a player from playing right away if he transfers to another league member.

With a UW-USC Pac-12 title game always a possibility, Trojans coach Clay Helton is well within his rights to make the quarterback sit out a year.

And btw...... you being in “recruiting” making a comment like that only shows why you guys miss 70% of the time. Kind of hard to recruit accurately without doing your homework wouldn’t you agree? His receivers averaged 11 drops a game his junior year. There were also 11 td passes dropped that year. 6 of his 12 ints were tip drill ints that were drops just like DWAs and JJs. So no...... HE was not a turnover “machine”. He did HIS JOB! He simply fell victim to his receivers letting the ball into their chest on a consistent basis. His senior year the number of average drops dropped to 5 a game. Bringing his completion % from 58% in 2017 to 67% in 2018 as well as his td/int ratio up from 18/13 to 34/12. And yes.... three of those 12 were also tip drill ints. Another thing you you would know is his team was an 85% passing team. So the point is, it’s not so surprising that you claim to be in recruiting and don’t know chit.
Now there's a surprise, BMs little handler is blaming everyone else while claiming BMs greatness when he turns it over. You're one of his biggest problems, making claims that he can make throws only a couple of pros can make, that was your dumbest overhyped statement of the year last season. There is nothing special about Maurer other than his interception to passes thrown ratio.

Making claims is assuming. That’s what YOU do. It becomes more than a “claim” when there is video evidence to prove said “claim”. At that point it transitions into FACT. That’s what I do. Where were you when everyone was freaking out over the HB rail shot in a practice setting and someone “claimed” no one else on our roster can make that throw until I showed BM do it in a game? 🤔

The only special arm talent BM has is throwing the ball to the other team.

And yet the only evidence you have of that claim is Mississippi State while defending JG to no end. Smh....... you’re a piece of work.
You're a handler, which just happens to be a position most feel is not needed and is a black eye on the sport.

You fail to mention that he went 16-16 the next 2 years. The greatest that ever played took 4 years before he stayed above a .500 winning pct. Like I said, in college football you don't have time to wait on your QB to quit throwing it to the other team. BM continues to throw the ball off his back leg across the middle of the field. He did it numerous times last season and his last pass of the year he threw vs Indiana was off his back leg and was almost picked. He didn't improve 1 bit last year and I don't think he'll ever be the QB at UT again unless JG or Bailey gets injured.

The GOAT didn’t take that long, Brady never had a losing season.

If by “handler” you mean fan then call me what you will. However I’m not going to just sit back and read false claims from a known hater without telling the truth. And the truth is a complete 180 than YOU and your buddy KTown want to project onto a message board. If I KNOW otherwise, expect to be called out on it. But let’s not forget that the reason you call me a handler is ONLY because I defend him the same way you defend JG and HB. Must be a star thing huh? 😉.
I’m done arguing with you. You obviously have NO rebuttal to my arguments so you’ve been avoiding every bit of what I’ve said with childish remarks.

I personally don’t care how many stars you have next to your name, I get a kick seeing all these posts about how Pruitt makes everyone compete. If that is the case, then BM or JTS must not be worth a tinkers damn, because Ole GJ, is the absolute worst starting QB I’ve ever seen. And I’m old.

Did I dream this or did the NCAA say last year they were going to crackdown on players transferring and becoming eligible immediately if not a graduate transfer? Thought I remember reading or hearing that?

Did you miss the update on the one time transfer exemption which is expected by many to be implemented in May?

@PulaskiVolFan ...... I was going to leave a comment but this interview exposed two different bs comments you made just last night. I’ll let you figure out which ones they were. All I’m going to say is ....ouch.

Great nugget here from Joe Burrow about really working on his accuracy off-platform this offseason and attributing that to part of his growth. The pocket is in chaos on more than 50% of snaps —>

Could be true. Guess we’ll see

On “The Swain Event” this past Thursday (16th), Jason Swain and Ben McGee we’re talking UT women’s basketball around the 40 min mark. Ben was arguing that better players would lead to less turnovers when Jason used our qb room (all 5 scholarship qbs) as an example to drive his point home that decisions are NOT connected to talent. He asked Ben “who do you think is our best qb in terms of TALENT?” Ben responds “Jarret Guarantano.” Jason responded, “I think it’s Brian Maurer.” “He can make all the throws, he’s accurate and he can run it as well. But his DECISIONS effected his competition % and lead to ints (paraphrased).” This has been my point all along. Take his talent and hypothetically fix his decision making (which will come with time and coaching) and those that wish him gone will one day regret how they felt about the freshman version of him based solely on 4 starts of his college career if he were to leave.
I disagree with Swain here. Decision making is a talent. Peyton Manning is talented between the ears. Seems like he’s confusing “talent” with athleticism. Also, I wouldn’t say Mauer is accurate. He’s made some good throws and seems to have a lot of potential, but still a long way to go.

It’s his competitiveness that separates him from the others, IMO.

This is what I’m here for, friendly debate. Decision making comes with time in a system simply because as a freshman it’s your first year in that system. It’s extremely hard to learn an entire playbook/new terminology and presnap audibles in one year. The result is freshman tend to “stare down” option #1 and wait for the opportunity to get it in there because they just don’t KNOW where option #2 or #3 is. They have to LOOK for them in year one as opposed to year 3 KNOWING where they should be. Because of this, I personally will only look at junior/senior tape from Hs because that’s the years they knew the “system” the best, thus giving a more accurate indication of playing style from natural abilities and the ability to go through progressions. So I respectfully disagree. Decision making is acquired over time imo.

Accuracy is simply where the ball finishes. There’s a reason they score where the ball finishes at the elite 11 competition. If it finishes on the face mask it’s a 3. On the chest, it’s a 2. If the receiver had to adjust in any way it’s a 1. Incomplete is obviously a 0. A great example of this is the int vs UF where JG threw it to JJ in the front of the end zone. It went through his hands because it was thrown too hard to be so high. Certainly still catchable but a general rule of thumb is :front of the end zone target is knee to chest. Back of the end zone target is 9-11 high. If JG had hit him in the chest or below it was a td. With Maurer, in terms of accuracy, I see where the ball finished regardless of outcomes or decisions. In most cases the ball arrived in the 2/3 zone (score wise). And accuracy is all about hitting the mark you intended to hit. Which is why completion % is a bad stat to resort to as an indicator of accuracy when decisions, drops and defenders play such a huge part in that particular stat.

I'm not sure I would say talent, because it takes talent just to make it to the pros in any sport. What separates GOATS from the rest is they aren't satisfied with their talent, ever. They demand the the highest level of performance out of themselves and their team mates. If you look at film of the true great team leaders, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, Brett Favre, Micheal Jordon, etc. It sometimes seems like they are angry at their team mates, but they have expectations that everyone around them should give what they are giving, no excuses. These men raise the level of play of everyone around them. We're any of these people taller, more muscular, or have a higher IQ than everyone around them? No, it's the mindset. They visualize every throw, block, tackle, 3 point shot as a success before it happens, when everyone else has left the film room, they are still there. It's an expectation of ones self. As a Ravens fan, I watched over and over players get huge payday's being traded from that Ravens D to other teams only to never be heard from again.

His 2018 stats are very unimpressive (14 TD, 10 INT and 60% passing in Pac-12). Given that was his Freshman year but this is also SEC. Unless Tee, who saw him in person, thinks he is upgrade, I do not see anything from stats he has posted so far.

Of course those states are his freshman year. Something to keep in mind when considering whether HB should start this year.

I’ve never seen anyone other than you do so.
Same thing I told Pulaski. If you were from his area you would hear it. And truth is I don’t understand what’s so hard to believe about it. Aaron Rodgers is known for his ability to throw accurately from off platform, ability to escape a dirty pocket and his ability to run when needed. Brian is known for all the same things. So is the real problem with the comparison the fact that Aaron Rodgers is a successful qb? If so that’s cheap to assume that BM can’t be.
