USC’s Matt Barkley To Announce NFL Intentions Today
MATT BARKLEY, NCAA, USC | COMMENTS

USC quarterback Matt Barkley will announce his decision on whether or not he will return to school or enter the NFL Draft today at a press conference, ESPN’s Colin Cowherd said on his radio show this morning.

If the 21-year-old quarterback leaves school he is expected to be a top-10 pick in the draft, however some believe that if he were to stay in school for his senior season he would be a lock for the No. 1 overall pick next season.

This year Barkley led the USC Trojans to a 10-2 record, including a 7-2 mark in the Pac-12. As a result of NCAA sanctions, the Trojans were not eligible for postseason play, which means despite defeating UCLA 50-0 in their final game of the season, they were forced to watch as the Bruins represented the Pac-12 South in the conference title game.

This season Barkley threw for 3,528 yards and 39 touchdowns while only tossing seven interceptions.

Has he said anything about only wanting to be drafted by the Chiefs?

Do these guys really have to hold press conferences to make the announcement?

If the press doesn't attend then the press conferences would stop. :shrug:

I suppose Twitter just isn't enough "look-at-me" exposure.

Some think he's staying. RT @USC_Athletics: USC junior QB Matt Barkley will hold a press conference this afternoon to announce his decision.

This comes as a shock to me but sources from So Cal tell me the word is Matt Barkley reversed course and is likely to stay at USC.

Does it really matter anymore? We're not getting a top 3 QB. Just embrace your new O-lineman.

If Orton wins these two games, you can bank on a Trio of Orton, Cassel and Stanzi for 2012.

Given the amount of $$$$$ he already took from USC loyalists, yeah...

Why do the other Chiefs even bother to show up to the game then?

Just let Orton play, because "Orton wins," the Chiefs as a team do not...

Did Matt Kalil declare? I read an article that said that if one stayed...the other would stay.

He is, apparently, as of the current, declaring and coming out...

Whether he will change his mind between now and Feb when he has to really decide may be something USC alum have a few weeks to ponder carefully...

really carefully...
