Ok Willie- pull out all your old PAC-10 contacts

Max Wittek is transferring from USC and will be immediately eligible!

We can dream can't we?

[usfgrad84]

Would love Wittek. He grew up and played in our local youth football league here in CT before his dad moved him to CA to play high school ball.

OK lets invite him in for a visit

I know we have a lot of folks on the board here who love to do some research....so does anyone want to provide a quick list of all the Power 5 Schools that have a question mark at Starting QB.  It would be interesting to see just how much competition we have for this guy.  

 

He will obviously go somewhere that he pretty much a lock to start.

I would say FSU is off the list

Only reason I'm not sold on him is while USC did run a more pro-style offense, that I'm sure he could adapt to here at USF, he'd be a one and done. The conundrum there is logic states you would redshirt Flowers, but then in 2015, do you basically have an open QB competition between White and Flowers (and others), and you never get a chance to redshirt White - which I guess won't matter if Flowers ends up being better than him.

 

If Wittek were to come, Floyd is all but gone if he ever wants to play somewhere, and I'm not sure Bench would transfer again (esp with having to sit out a year this time). Perhaps in 2015, if Flowers starts, you could have Bench as the backup and roll the dice trying to redshirt White then?

I hear UCF will offer him, they're super thin at QB.

 

But for real, could see him looking at SMU perhaps. Isn't Gilbert gone? Maybe Fresno State as Carr is gone and it would be wide open, or NIU since Lynch is gone. He has the clout to get into a P5 school though if there is a need.

there are plenty that I think would be "off the list"  not even schools with returning starters but schools with a highly touted recruit who has been in the system for a year or 2.  

 

I imagine Max wants to go somewhere that is a slam dunk for him to be the most talented QB on the roster.  

[USF_BULLS_R_WE]

Louisville, Texas A&M, UF, LSU, Georgia. Just to name a few. If he's wanting to stay in California my sleeper to get him would be Fresno State to replace Derek Carr.

Max has 2 years of eligibility.
