I believe that there are many positives about USF. The key any coach wants is the ability to be able to win in a major conference. Tampa is a great city and USF is very attractive to minority players. I would think Heath might appreciate that after coming from Arkansas. It might take some time but a coach can win at USF, in fact coaches have won previously which proves the point. You do not have to win the Big East to be successful and go to the NCAAs.

Ammaker may have fallen short at Michigan but he is a real quality guy. Many thought he would be the heir apparent for coach K at Duke. He did inherit a mess at Michigan but just could not push them over the top. I think Grant is a better fit for USF but Ammaker would be a fine coach.

And redshirt frosh LeBrandon Glover who is big and strong.

I think Huners and Schmidt are both rising Juniors. And I would think C. Robinson will remain at DE now that Josh has been dismissed. Too much depth at LB to keep him there when the DE position is now thin.

This is a BIG issue and one of the few areas where USF lags significantly behind other big programs in facilities. Leavitt, as usual, is right on about this. Big football players don't just happen. A lot of hard work goes into making these kids big, and USF definitely can use more size up front.

A win at Auburn would be HUGE, BUT winning the Big East would be a lot bigger because we would receive the recognition of playing in a BCS Bowl, something even Rutgers did not do this year.

Yes

If we have to take chances on academics, I am glad we are doing so with Florida kids. It helps with relations with HS coaches that USF is willing to take a chance.

Very well regarded LB/DE. Offered by some of the big boys and is in for his official visit at USF this weekend.

But if you do make the team you are treated as a full part of the team. No Rudy treatment (one of my favorite films BTW). Todays D1 programs need walkons because of the limited number of scholarships. Just look at the bowl MVP (unbelievable to think he was a walkon) and both of the senior TEs were walkons. Many others I am sure. Really these guys are what make college sports what it is beyond the cameras and publicity. Congrate to the Sheriff.

And the offensive line coach FROM wvu that was "bought" by FSU is making something like $400,000 per year. Pretty good change for a position coach!

He redshirted this year but word has it that he flunked out. VERY unfortunate because he could have been a big time player at USF. And a nice kid to boot.

Grant is trying to get a 6th year which would give him three more. And he is as serious about football as his dad. A very serious student of the game. Virtually the whole Gregory family are coaches.

Ford and McKilvey(?) are two 4-5 star transfers. Neither on the list but both really add to the talent level on this team.

remember our two best recruits this year are already in schoold, Ford and McKenzie. Along with Fonua, Warren and McCaskill all of whom will be players in the trenches in a couple of years.
