You don’t wish people luck when they change jobs? Guy is walking out the door with his diploma in a box. You make eye contact (whether purposeful or accidental) and say nothing? You just watch him walk out? That’s awkward
USC Hosting Jayden Maiava This Weekend
- Thread starter 220reb
- Start date
This is business. Maiva will always be tied to UNLV. Now he's at the pinnacle of college football sports. Wish the guy well. He wins, we win. It's really that simple. He's on a team that is favored to win the championship next year. Flick that clit and just enjoy how far we've come in one year. The fact that the football board is blowing up more than the basketball one is during basketball season is absolutely mind boggling to me. Maiva is a huge reason for that.
Agreed. As much in question the decision it’s his to make and he helped give us nice season. Always a Rebel (and a Liberty HS kid) so I also wish him well and hopes he shines and remembers where he got his start.
Once you leave I really don’t are either way. No longer part of the program so it doesn’t concern me.
I think that him getting lured away by Georgia will help our recruiting since we can produce major talent (even though it gets poached).
I came here to say this....losing him was bigger than most people like to think.
Agreed. When was the last time we had a “sure thing” coming back at QB at UNLV.
Per espn...
"A day after announcing he would transfer to Georgia, former UNLV quarterback Jayden Maiava flipped his decision and will instead join USC, his father, William Maiava-Pratt, told ESPN on Tuesday night."

Well, it’s a fit. USC has QB’s that cry.
Once a player transfers I'm pretty much in the 'Peace out' camp.
Maybe some outside curiosity to see how productive they are at next stop.
But aside from that little to no interest.
In regards to recent offers.
Take Georgia for instance. If Maiava is your #1 I'm not sure you are in a good place vs an SEC schedule and SEC defenses. (At least not yet).
However you could do a lot worse if he's your number three because he probably won't start right away, but he has some experience and starts under his belt unlike a true freshman..
Also have to consider since he has a 'handler' he might have been part of a package deal.
Well, we know he could beat Vanderbilt. 😁
Me too, it reveals mindset. Don’t want a player/coach when you know they are fully distracted by something other than winning.
So he's committed to 3 different programs in the last approx 2+ weeks. First re-committed to UNLV and said he doesn't even know how the portal works. Then to UGA. Now to USC.
I understand how the portal works. But yeah. Bye Felicia. It's best long term to be done w. him now. It would have just been a longer running circus act here if he stayed.

That is kinda how I feel. I have nothing against their doing what is best for them, but just like the coaches, I have nothing against them, I just stay vested in the current players and coaches instead.
My only guess would be either he is getting bad advice that constantly is changing, or USC came up with more NIL money.
Same. He had a good thing here. Now getting pulled in different directions and appears to be chasing the wrong goals. Best wishes and adios!
Who cares!
He is no longer a Rebel and I will not follow his career, no hate just don’t care!
Some here will talk his name ad nauseam and go over every detail of what happened and why he transferred, this will happen every year because of the NIL and portal so the staff needs to work the portal like their life depends on it and Harp needs to get our NIL bag up to a respectable level. But regardless we go on!

Hope it ends up being the right decision for him. It's the wild, wild, west right now in NIL land. Wonder if NILX is getting their beak wetter in LA than they were in Athens? But I don't respect the way he left. Que sera sera.
0 respect I hope he gets pancaked right in front of Lincoln Riley the very first play of the game
