Redd considering USC, then NFL

Tough spot for all of these kids. Admire the loyalty if they stay, but can't blame them if they go. Be smart on this one Silas.

Kid is looking out for himself. Do not blame him.

+1 He's got to decide where he can put himself in the best possible light for the next level.

If he's going just to fill out the depth chart, then don't go...if he's going to start, then go.

Redd needs to go to SCw... He wont have to worry about teams stacking the box cuz McGloin sucks.. Would easily have better stats playing with Barkley Lee and Woods.. Its a no brainer and they will compete for a BS Title

Yes, and one more year in college will up his draft value. Redd's landing at SC will be a very good team better. Depending on Barkley's play, USC will be in the top 10 all season.

Correct me ICE, but wouldn't he be 2 on depth chart this year? But, with that O, that is still a lot of touches. Then, as he says, done. Get out before the depth is a real issue the following year.

Be a dawg!

If Redd wants a NFL Pro career he has to leave. Loyalty doesn't matter when money is involved. Exposure on a big stage will help Redd at USC. Plus it's a better environment for him. Go west young man go West.

Are you kidding? Exposure...he'd have amazing exposure at PSU. If you haven't noticed, they are the center of the Universe right now and with the "core" players staying at PSU for this season, he would be highlighted every week because they will talk about PSU and highlight their progress every week...thoroughly & in-depth. That's coverage he is seeking and he doesn't even realize it. I don't blame him if he goes either, however the argument that he'll get more exposure out West is erroneous, in my opinion.

Okay...he will take a pay cut in the NFL!

I think PSU exposure will be lacking in the Bowl season...unless you count the shower exposure!

If you're a good enough player, the scouts will find you anywhere--even in Division II.
Every draft, there are players that seemingly come out of nowhere to make it big in the NFL.
Redd is already on scout's radar.

Just waiting on the sidelines for USC to implode again.....NEXT!

Yeah, he would be 2 on the chart. But like you said, plenty of opportunity for touches. With Barkley, Woods, and Lee, opposing D's will not be crowding the line very much. Redd would provide valuable depth, and take the role Madden would have had if he had not gotten hurt. Nothing but upside for him to come out here. We shall see.
