What are we to do with Bru. Bru McCoy was ranked as the 9th overall recruit in the 2019 recruit class by 247 Sports. For those of you who don't know, Bru committed to USC during the All-American game on January 5th of this year. He enrolled early and was even already attending classes. Kliff Kingsbury was the offensive coordinator at the time of Bru signing his letter of intent. Three days later Kliff hit them with the ol' well actually it's been a cool month here but I'm gunna go coach the Cardinals and draft Kyler Murray instead. That's when Bru was like wtf dude, that's shitty, now I'm gunna go to your rivals and become a UT Longhorn. So USC lost their offensive coordinator and top recruit in the matter of days all because Kyler fricken Murray decided to play football instead of baseball.
Bru commits to Texas on January 25th which prompted this awesome tweet from the Longhorn's QB, Sam Ehlinger:
This league! Am I doing that right? Texas and USC still hate each other over the Greatest Game Ever Played (that's right, fuck you Shia Labeouf), the 2006 Rose Bowl, Vince Young vs Reggie Bush. So, ballsy move by Bru McCoy to jump ship like that but he's still like an 18 year old kid so whatever get off his back.
That's how I did feel. DID. Now USCFootball.com is reporting that Bru McCoy is considering re-entering the transfer portal to head BACK to USC.
Reading up on Horns247, it sounds like no one is really sure why McCoy would want to leave. Bru is liked by his teammates, and he holds his coaches in a high regard, and was poised to make an immediate impact by inheriting Lil'Jordan Humphrey's target shares. So what's the deal? Maybe it's because his immediate eligibility appeal isn't going so well. Since he enrolled in classes at USC I think he's supposed to sit out a season. If he goes back to USC can he play right away? Is that it?
Or maybe Bru's just freaked out that Tom Herman won't stop smoochin him. If that's the case Bru, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Follow your heart, you know like Coach Herman said when you transferred, "I applaud Bru and his courageousness to say 'Hey this is not where my heart is and I'm going to do something to change that." Maybe he forgot his heart in Los Angeles?
Whatever the outcome of this is, one thing is evident. Players are addicted to the transfer portal and the NCAA needs to do something about it. Quick.
