USC Trojans RB Emmanuel Moody decides to transfer

Does anyone know much about this guy? I wonder where he will end up? Seems like a pretty talented guy.

 

He's going to Okie State.

The thead title was kinda vague but here it is. :thumb:

SI Jinx returns

 

lmao...kind of a stretch... :hihi:

 

I'd posted earlier that he was headed to Okie St but according to his uncle via a Dallas paper, no decision has been made yet. Emmanuel is returning to Texas and the family will decide from there so he's wide open.

He is very talented, great moves, lots of speed. He missed the last 4 games last season due to injury then almost all of spring practice due to injury and some of the other backs really started to perform. They were all in the mix and then Emmanuel got dinged a bit at last Saturday's scrimmage and that seemed to be the last straw for him. He has stated that he wants to be THE feature back. Nothing wrong with that but it wasn't going to happen at USC.

He's solid in the classroom and will have a great career.

 

Thanks, I missed that thread.

 

I mean, with all the programs out there, why Okie State??? Bet 'cha they're pumping up that "you could be the next Barry Sanders or Thurman Thomas".

Los Angeles to Stillwater....dude's gonna be in culture shock!

But on a serious note, Okie State, under coach Miles, DID produce some pretty good running backs in Tatum Bell and Verand Morency.

 

You were right.

You seem to know a lot about their program.......you a fan of USC?? Or just a bandwagoner, in light of their success as of recent years?? :grin:

Here's a link to the article you referenced- I'm sure you've seen it but others here probably haven't.

Nice of you to be so classy in speaking postive of him even after he's decided to leave....seriously. :thumb: Heard a walk-on kicker also walked off today.

So true about life in Oklahoma being hard to cope with........I've seen a lot of evidence of that.

 

I've already covered why. Revenge

 

With a name like that, you knew he was eventually going to get tired of the bottleneck situation at SC.
