Speaking of first year coaches, which one has the most interesting season for you?  Riley?  Kelly?  Napier?  Notre Dame? 

I probably missed a few.
Brian Kelly at LSU.  That is the oddest fit I can remember.  A Massachusetts Yankee cosplaying a Cajun.

Sources: USC commit Malachi Nelson, No. 1 recruit in 2023, to visit Texas A&M

Just a few days after overtaking Arch Manning for the top spot in ESPN's 2023 player recruiting rankings, five-star USC commit Malachi Nelson is taking a visit to Texas A&M this weekend, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday night.

Nelson, a 6-foot-3 quarterback out of Los Alamitos High School in Los Alamitos, California, did inform USC head coach Lincoln Riley and the program that he would be visiting College Station, Texas, sources said. Under head coach Jimbo Fisher, the Aggies put together the top recruiting class in 2022.

Nelson flipped his commitment from Oklahoma to USC in November after the Trojans hired Riley away from the Sooners to be USC's next head coach. The coaching move had a ripple effect that prompted multiple decommitments from Oklahoma, including Nelson, who immediately committed to Riley and USC.

As a source close to Nelson described the move soon after it happened, Nelson was committed to Riley more than he was committed to Oklahoma, which made the flip more or less a formality.

Despite what seems to be a surprise visit to Texas A&M this week, Nelson remains officially committed to the Trojans and Riley.

Should it remain that way, Nelson will headline Riley's first full recruiting class next year and arrive on campus as the likely quarterback of the future for the Trojans.

Nelson's visit was first reported by TexAgs.

I don't need Muleshoe coming to the Big Ten West with a hotshot QB

He's been committed to Riley for over a year now, I think.  That would be a really big flip, if it happens.

No coach is going to say, "Sorry. You can't come to our recruiting party if you're already committed elsewhere," to him. The Ags know full well there's zero chance of him flipping, but if he wants to come to the event, you let him in.

The old Tech coach would rescind your offer if you did this.  Of course, he lost a lot of games too and left.

As I understand it, Venables doesn't want a commitment until the kid is through making visits. He wants the kid to be sure. And if you're sure, you don't keep taking visits.

That philosophy is a change from the Muleshoe days.

Malachi Nelson is a loss to OU, wherever he ends up. But it would be interesting, especially considering that he and Arch are #1 and #2 (in some order), if he ended up at A&M.

Yup it would make for some fun showdowns in a few years.

I'm not so sure Malachi is a 0% chance to flip.  Nobody goes to College Station just for fun.  This is a business trip.
