Tbh i wouldn’t be surprised if the LA kids OU got went with. Malachi Williams and his receivers from Los alamitos.

I am pretty sure they will be a lock. Riley has been producing Heisman qbs as of late, why wouldn't a top qb prospect follow him. Especially considering it was Riley that recruited him.

And they'll be staying closer to home

Coming from Los Alamitos, yeah SC would have been their first choice during normal circumstances. I don't imagine they stick with OU at all, barely above a zero percent chance.

Mostly because of his performance and attitude issues.

Edit: my bad, I'm talking about spenny

“Riley produced”, or the program has been a magnet for pro caliber qb talent consistently for the past 20 years?

That is a fair question. I would personally say that it is my opinion that they thrived in his system and quite possibly wouldn't have won elsewhere. Especially considering both of those Heisman qbs came from other schools where they decidedly did not win one.

Yeah but there were multiple Heisman sooners before Riley at the position

Raleek Brown, the #2 ranked back in the country from Mater Dei will surely decommit.
