  • I can't really blame Woods if he wants to leave. If he does then I sincerely wish him the best. I would love to have him back, but with Lee here and having to go through a qb change may be too much. I will hold out hope though, and that's because he has shown himself to be a loyal character.

    Lee can't cause he's only a sophomore. Woods can however. My thing is, I think Woods has been feeling neglected and tired of being overlooked by Lee on the field. So many times Barkley would rather throw into triple coverage Lee over a wide open Woods. Ironically, I think Wittek playing on Saturday could change things. If Wittek is willing to spread the ball around and show that he isn't going to use Lee as a crutch but take advantage of the defense is giving him, Woods may stay.

    I legit hope Lane calls plays to get Woods 10 catches and 100+ yards under Max for this very reason. I mean I hope we win the game too, but this is like a goal 1a) for me.

    Rumors have it he is headed to Ohio State.

    Terrible attempt. Though I clashed a little bit with "thatguy16" or w/e it was earlier, at least some of his stuff was funny.

    Really? I thought that guy was a ridiculous flaming troll.

    Well yeah, but some of the lines were so ridiculous that they were kind of funny. Like his "the who gives an F train just went by and nobody's on it" line.

    Everyone here who comes with alleged sources on the team says he is leaving, and I think that says a lot. I think the only way he stays is his draft stock already being severely dropped, which I think it should be without knowledge of the senior/declaring WR corps this year. Sure, Barkley has been prone to forcing it to Lee, but in the games I've been watching, all but Syracuse from a TV set or computer screen, Woods hasn't been ignored per se. Perhaps he hasn't gotten separation this year? I love Woods, he's a real man and a great Trojan, but I think his injury has hobbled him more than we'd like to admit (ah, how mortal we are!) and that he isn't the RW2 of last year, to be sure. Who knows. Would he be able to have a Pro Day before he declares? I think Woods will be a tremendous asset for any team that drafts him, but Steve Smith isn't doing much these days and the two remind me a lot of each other. How long did Smith have in the league? 3 seasons?

    Last year, the deadline to declare for the NFL draft was January 15th.
    USC's Pro Day was March 7th.
    Most draft-eligible Juniors work with the athletic department and pro scouts, etc to get a feel for where they will get drafted. So, he'll have to make the decision following the last regular season game and before mid-January, then train his butt off for the combine (if invited) and the Pro Day.

    Regarding Steve Smith, he's actually in his 6th NFL season (see attached link). He's been injury prone, but he has one Pro Bowl to his credit. Not outstanding, but not too shabby either....(he's stuck around longer than Jarrett).

    2009, Smith had 107 receptions and was 2nd behind Welker's 123.

    Man, I loved that combo. Jarrett-Smith. They put years on many Trojans' lives, could you imagine JDB throwing to above average WRs? Yeesh.

    If I were Woods I would feel very conflicted right now. SC seems to have the appearance of a sinking ship with how we spiraled this year but his numbers weren't great either to jump into the draft. I think a fresh QB could help change his perspective, especially one with good vision like Wittek. This saturday in particular, Wittek will need the help of his teammates if he wants to win.

    Can Lee leave after this season? I would think his stock can't get any higher.

    Even though Marquise is nearly 5 months older than Robert, he isn't eligible until next year because he graduated from high school a year later than Mr. Woods.

  • He's gone....he sorta hinted at it before the season. Said he wouldn't leave until he graduates. He graduates next spring.

    Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine (1998) +...

    (chorus) You need to give it up. Had about enough. It's not hard to see, the boy is mine. I'm sorry that you Seem to be confused He belongs to me The boy is mine Brandy I think it's time we got this straight let's sit and talk face to face There is no way you could mistake him for your man - are you insane? Monica See I know that you may be just a bit jealous of me. But you're blind If you can't see that his love is all in me. Brandy You see I try to hesitate I didn't want to say what he told me He said without me he couldn't make it through the day, ain't that a shame. Monica Maybe your misunderstood Cause I can't see how he could wanna change something that's so good Because my love was all it took. (Chorus) Monica Must you do the things you do keep on acting like a fool You need to know it's me not you And if you didn't know it girl, it's true. Brandy I think that you should realize I'm trying to understand why He is a part of my life I know it's killing you inside. Monica You can say what you want to say What we have you can't take From the truth you can't escape I can tell the real from the fake. Brandy When will you get the picture Your the past I'm the future Get away it's my time to shine if you didn't know the boy is mine. (chorus x2) Monica You can't destroy this love I've found Your silly games I won't allow the boy is mine without a doubt You might as well throw in the towel. Brandy What makes you think that he wants you when I'm the one that brought him to special places in my heart Cause he was my love from the start (chorus x2) Monica Not yours! Brandy But mine!

    He should go. Look what happened to one of the guys that came back ........... draft stock went swirl

    One? Try the whole team, besides Breslin, L. Williams, and Lee!

  • I dont think we should overlook his ankle problem. Its not 100% and if he needs additional work, it'll be a problem to be ready by combine time. A mediocre 40 at the combine paired with an average season will present a problem with his draft status, which seemed like a guaranteed 1st rounder not too long ago.

    Typical that you clowns think that's funny...after Matt announced he would stay, this board was euphoric. Well, Matt took his chances, and you people crapped on that mistake.

    That WAS NOT FUNNY.

    Matt got coached into oblivion.
