May 27, 20196 yr I remember when I got blasted for saying McCoy was a jackass for not seeing the writing on the wall with Kingsbury/USC when he first committed... and now he reportedly wants to transfer back to Cali? IF TRUE (a big if), let his ass walk. Dude seems to have bigger issues than footballYep. He was going to be a potential headache sooner rather than later. Let USC embrace the suck as they have done enough of it the last few seasons.

May 27, 20196 yr Californians are moving to the metroplex for purely work and economic reasons. None of the want to be here and the vast majority hate it but choose the money over happiness. Really??? That’s hardly factual at all.
May 27, 20196 yr If he wants to transfer back to USC, I say more power to him. We don't need players who don't want to be here. Dude hasn't played a down of college football...hell, he hasn't even made it to the football season of his freshman year and wants to transfer a second time? Well, bye.

May 27, 20196 yr I just wrapped up a month in Miami. Anyone I encountered, from Coral Gables to South Beach to Little Havana who saw my Texas plates or DL wanted to chat about how great Texas is. If Texas is known for anything, it's football, not mythical ties to the deep South. My family down in South Florida sport Texas gear now and then, and get nothing but compliments. My 70 year old mom told her friends to buy a Texas shirt due to the men that come up to her to chat. Even the Aggie that worked the boat I was on in the Keys was happy to see some Texans. In Boston as well, we were greeted well and Canadians love us. My only negative comment was from a sorority dipshit who declared they didn’t like people from Texas in Tennessee. Most were fine, though they were confused about having a perceived rivalry with Texas.

For a kid like McCoy it can be overwhelming once you get here. I understand it. Read more Pretty sure I travel more than you and have never been treated that way for being a Texan. Maybe it's you.

May 28, 20196 yr I just got back from a work trip hitting NYC, Boston, and Providence. Everyone I spoke with either loved Austin, planned to visit or wanted to move here. Now I did hear some smack talk about Houston and Dallas, more of those parts of Texas are too conservative. But ATX got nothing but props. These were young 20-30 something, public relations, and marketing folks.
May 28, 20196 yr All these people from other states who talk up their love of Austin would quickly change their minds if they spent just one August here.

May 28, 20196 yr IT on Bru From: Eric BRU MCCOY, PORTAL POSTER CHILDLike everyone else, we were surprised by the discussion that arose late Sunday, early Monday of Bru McCoy wanting to transfer back to USC. My first reaction was that it was similar to his first transfer in that there was much more information coming out of the destination side of the "recruitment." And what a dumb recruitment it is.When I say everyone was surprised I mean every team source we have was blind-sided as well. We often check just to see if there are any malcontents, especially around the end of a semester. We often hear of stuff that never materializes but with Bru we never heard anything negative.In fact, a couple of my queries were the first time sources heard of anything being wrong. If he's really homesick, and still that's the only credible reason we've heard, he hid it very well.The fact that this caught UT so off guard puts to bed the rumor of Bru being upset regarding his waiver situation. I also don't believe it has anything to do with playing time. He wasn't going to start but he would have played if granted the waiver. We would have heard of him being upset if the waiver situation and playing time were factors. Besides, by transferring back to USC, he'd assuredly miss the next season unless USC digs up the OJ team.Likely what happened was he went home after the semester and realized he wanted to remain in Southern California. How he came to realize that we may never know.Expectations are that he'll enter the portal but until his name pops up who knows? If he does enter the portal and transfers there's still the chance he returns for August practice.From the Texas perspective they don't want to lose him and I'm sure the coaches will be on the phone with him a lot today. Herman should probably let Mehringer handle that.But also in talking to a few sources the sentiment is similar to some fans...if he leaves, [shrug emoticon]. A player's level of drama you're willing to tolerate directly correlates to his ability and Bru McCoy was only a five-star.I took a couple days off with the family during what is normally a very quiet time. I'll have recruiting notes either later today or early tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a team update as well. The team resumed workouts this morning.
May 28, 20196 yr Super K on Bru A few things here to add to my report from yesterday morning… ***I did reach out to someone I know quite well in the McCoy family. I did not hear back. Given the connection I have with said person, the fact that I didn’t hear back tells me all I need to know. Namely, again, that what we noted yesterday regarding the veracity of the rumors is true. ***At this point a number of outlets are reporting that Bru isn’t going to return. I have not been told that by anyone in the McCoy family but I spoke to a person close to the situation and said person spoke on the matter as if it is a forgone conclusion. But again, I haven’t received that direct from the family. ***Source said that Bru has actually been contemplating the return to USC for quite some time. It sounds like it may have been within the first few weeks of arriving at Texas that Bru decided he wanted to return. Source said that Bru didn’t know, “100% but it was a really rough adjustment”. ***Also, was told that USC does have a scholarship for Bru. I only point that out because I know we had heard they didn’t have one for Chris Steele. For clarification, I’m told that they now have a spot for both Bru and Steele though, as you know, Steele appears headed to Oregon. ***I think an important point to note here is that this has, in my opinion, nothing to do with Texas. I’ve been to Mater Dei. I’ve seen the environment Bru was in. It’s the best of Southern California. It’s an affluent community that is very tightly knit. You’ll recall that once I returned from my trip to California in the fall, I really started to feel the chances of Texas landing Bru were slim. The reason I felt that way is having been to the game and to the school, I could tell it was a type of life/community that would be very hard to leave. ***Bru in fact did sign with USC but ultimately did leave. I remember speaking to his family member around that time and was told that Bru felt USC was too much like high school. I think it turns out that perhaps it took him going away to realize just how good things were in that bubble, for lack of a better word. ***Again, I don’t think it would matter if Bru had been at Texas, Alabama, Florida or anywhere else. If Bru does indeed return to USC, my sense is it will be because of what he loves about where he’s from and not due to anything he dislikes about Texas, in particular.
May 28, 20196 yr I travel a lot for business and anytime people become aware that I'm from Texas, I am treated with scorn and derision at a minimum. Most of the time it ends up in a fist fight where I generally kick ass unless I am too outnumbered. This happens even when I travel around Texas, with the exception of College Station where I am treated like a king by the most hospitable and kind people I have ever met.
May 28, 20196 yr I guess this clears the way for Jake Smith to play a lot more this season. I mean presuming he doesn't show up on campus for a week and then transfer to Notre Dame or something. Edited May 28, 20196 yr by Valmy77
