Additionally - if he continues to progress at USC next season like he did this season, he'll be next year's Andrew Luck.

Barkley has serious momentum right now.

Or he could end up Leinerting himself.

I'd have gone, but he's evidently willing to gamble on himself and there's something to be said for that. The good news is that this really did appear to be a shallow QB class at the top anyway. Maybe his addition to next year's draft pool will help us more than being in this year's pool would have.
