Poor Mitch Mustain


being a person who roots for a team that lacks any 5 star recruit QBs it saddens and confuses me to learn that former Arkansas and current USC QB, Mitch Mustain has lost out on becoming the Trojans next starting QB to a true freshman and a less regarded 4 star recruit. everyone in the SEC is aware of the soap opera that went down in Arkansas during Mustain's freshman year that resulted in current Auburn OC, Gus Malzahn, bolting for Tulsa and several of his former highschool players leaving Arkansas as well...it also put into motion Houston Nutt leaving the school for Ole Miss. if Mustain had stayed at Arkansas it's likely that Nutt would probably still be there too and Arkansas would be considered one of the favorite in the SEC west this year. i remember thinking "Why the fuck did he do that?" when Mustain picked USC as the school he was gonna transfer to. he was already behind Mark Sanchez (who should be a senior for the Trojans this year) and they had a 4 star recruit in Aaron Corp already enrolled. i mean, why the hell didn't he go to Tulsa and run up huge numbers in Malzahn's offense? or go to a school in the Big East or Big 10 devoid of any QB talent. i wonder if Mustain will transfer 1 last time in an attempt to get 1 year as a starter under his belt or if he'll just ride the pine at USC and hope that people think he's gonna be the next Matt Cassell? either way it's kind of amazing to see a guy who was considered 1 of the top 3 QB recruits in the nation (with Tebow and Stafford) now just burried on a depth chart. let that be a warning sign to all of you college football fans who are obsessed with recruiting rankings.

maybe he and Emmanuel Moody should get together and go to some DIAA school and improve both of their chances of getting to the NFL.
