Heard very unverified rumors Bru McCoy wants out of his LOI. Would not take to the bank.
He didn't sign a letter yet.
There is a window for him to sign early he didn't sign in that window so He can't actually sign his LOI until the next signing session. All he signed was for financial aid, there is nothing binding him to USC. If he wants out of USC all he has to do is drop his classes and leave.
Here is the way I see it.
Early signing period is 3 or 4 days. Once an athlete signs he is with that school and no other school can recruit him. Bru didn't sign in that early period because he announced at his all-star game. That was why the Texas coaches kept recruiting him. He did however enroll and was taking classes. At the very least that makes him a walk on. In essence he is more like Patrick Mahomes was at Tech. Now if he decides to sign in February He is likely going to have to sit out a year.as of right now I'm thinking he can drop classes and leave and the SC coaches don't have a thing they can do about it.
I don't remember how the Mahomes situation with Tech turned out but I'm pretty sure he was eligible to immediately play.
Son of Wasatch...I'm from the USC site...pages of posts regarding this situation as you might imagine. What I'm hearing is that he did sign an LOI. Still, if true, that doesn't mean he can't leave -
Bottom line, we're hearing both stories...the truth should be clear in the next day or so. Too much drama if you ask me.
By the way, congrats on your season and the bowl win over Georgia.
How could he sign? The early signing period was from Dec 19 to Dec 21. If he signed would have had to do so at that time. We know for a fact that if Texas was still recruiting him after he signs then this is a clear violation, and Texas was recruiting him right up until the day before he announced.
You don't have to sign to be an early enrollment student, all they do is get him some financial aid and when he signs he gets his scholarship money. This is the way early enrollment took place before there was the early signing perior.
So he either caused a recruiting violation by signing a LOI and allowing Texas to think he still had not made a decision or he is not signed until February.
Whether or not Bru signed an LOI in advance, back in December, is completely irrelevant at this stage. The fact of that matter is that he enrolled, has been attending classes, and is officially on an athletic scholarship at USC. If he decides now that he wants out and transfers, he's subject to all of the same transfer rules (sit out a year, etc.) as anyone else.

I would be shocked if he was paying for this semester out of pocket. Maybe his parents were ok paying for a semester of private school. Maybe they will get a partial refund. This entire deal will be educational on what the rules are, as they seem pretty ad hoc.If he hasn't signed a LOI, how can he be on scholarship?

Worst case scenario: he has to wait until 2020 to play.
Not ideal for anyone, but does he lose a year of eligibility? Can he train under Yancy?
Actually they have us at 3 now and yesterday we were 5! And that is not even including Bru in that ranking I don’t believe.247 top 5 recruiting rankings
