00:00The case of Malachi Nelson will be studied for years to come.

00:07He was the highest rated quarterback prospect when he went to USC to be groomed by Lincoln

00:12Riley, the quarterback whisperer and elevator that he is.

00:17He leaves Southern Cal, he goes to Boise State, he does not win the job despite me thinking

00:23optimistically he would to elevate this Broncos team to a Mountain West crown and now Kev

00:28is back in the transfer portal.

00:31Is he a sought after prospect?

00:34Will he go somewhere and make an immediate impact?

00:37K-Dub's house has three tiers, invites, waitlist, not invited.

00:44Malachi Nelson is there.

00:46You could probably figure out where I will be putting Malachi Nelson.

00:50I will tell you this, I would be glad to make an amendment if he does what he should do

00:56and that's go back to Lincoln.

00:58What a ridiculous decision he made.

01:01Some of the worst advice somebody has ever been given was Malachi Nelson being told to

01:05leave Lincoln Riley and you might think, but USC was...

01:09Doesn't matter.

01:10It does not matter what USC was.

01:12Malachi Nelson went to Boise and watched Maddox Madsen be not that good.

01:19Couldn't crack this team starting lineup and now doesn't even get to enjoy the spoils

01:24of Boise maybe competing for a national championship because he has to hit the portal to go find

01:30work.

01:31He should go back to Lincoln Riley because he's probably...

01:33Would Lincoln want him back though?

01:34Yeah, well, I mean 500, I'm just thinking of a 500, you know, team overall.

01:39That's basically what they would be under Lincoln Riley.

01:41So he should move back to USC.

01:43That he's deserving.

01:44I have to stir it.

01:46I do.

01:47Malachi, we have no idea whether Malachi Nelson is going to be a good quarterback or not.

01:51If he couldn't crack the lineup at Boise State, a group of five team, to Kevin's point

01:56with Maddox Madsen at the helm in the Aston Gente, who's to say he's going to go back

02:00to USC and light it up?

02:03What I would say in defense of Malachi Nelson is college coaches are nuts because there's

02:07a college coach right now who might cost his team a national championship for some reason

02:11because he needs to defend the honor of Quinn Ewers.

02:14So quite frankly, look, Malachi Nelson might be 10 times better than Maddox Madsen.

02:20I mean, honestly.

02:21But then why'd he go?

02:22We don't know why he went, right?

02:23Why did he go to Boise?

02:24Yeah, I think he went for cash probably.

02:28Just a nightmare decision.

02:29But Spencer Danielson said, we're not paying freshmen.

02:32After Malachi Nelson already transferred in.

02:35And listen, you know I'm not the biggest fan of Lincoln Riley either.

02:39And yes, it was just a 6-6 season.

02:42But he is better than a 500.

02:44Football coaches win percentages 77%.

02:46It is one of the five best among active FBS head coaches and he's been doing it for eight

02:52years.
