That article has a link to the USF '17 signing class.

They seem to rank our players better overall than the recruiting sites.

Of our 18 commits, this is the ESPN breakdown:

One four stars.

Fourteen three stars.

One two stars.

Two haven't been evaluated.

Gotta keep up the momentum, and the kids will become fans. Getting CCS was a critically good move to salvage our progress, now we'll get to see if he's truly a good fit for the program. Spring yet?

The best part is UF is nowhere to be found.

Being ranked in these preseason polls helps a lot. I was out last night and a random guy came up to me and asked if I went to USF as I was wearing a shirt with the iconic U. He went on to say how much he liked our helmets and jerseys and how they were one of the most recognizeable logos stating "right there with Texas, Oklahoma and USC". I was shocked personally but with all the media hype building up around us even people in Spokane, WA are starting to recognize USF and our branding.

And here we are, again. We're on the door step of true respectability. BIG QUESTION is... are we ready to step thru it?

This.  Highest ranked G5, LOVE no UF (and no Oregon plus ahead of Texas, just sayin').

Go Bulls!

I think a lot are anxious to see what Oladunkin can do. Not sure he is the duel threat Flowers.

Flowers is a generational athlete; we can't just hope we will get one at QB every cycle. Kean stepped in and looked pretty darn good with his time in the system; and some folks were saying Chris O is even better at slinging the rock. Honestly believe one of them will take the reigns once Q graduates, but their skill set will vary from Q's; and the offense may adapt to that.
