So, [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/non-uconn-recruiting-thread-2025.207800/post-5315239']kudos[/URL] also to Willnett (re: USC’s recruiting coups). On your [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/non-uconn-recruiting-thread-2025.207800/post-5315239']third option[/URL], maybe Juju’s forced timeout and the lesser expectations would be an opportunity for a hard reboot for Gottlieb from her “Let Juju be Juju” Icarus path. This forced Juju timeout could serve a delicate balancing act: [LIST] [*](1) building gravitas, despite the recent out-transfer fiasco, so other great recruits will be tempted to join the [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/2026-1-saniyah-hall-to-usc.208666/post-5315481']Big 4 and the middlings[/URL]; [*](2) conditioning Juju by letting her observe how things can be better without turning her off. [/LIST] Very tall tasks, for sure, especially for a coach for whom such predicaments are still somewhat new. USC can be a poster child or a cautionary tale for the new paradigm (portal+NIL). [LIST] [*]And I agree with you that Juju transferring could [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/non-uconn-recruiting-thread-2025.207800/post-5315532']actually[/URL] be not a bad outcome for USC and Gottlieb if USC’s program could become more sustainable as a result.
