The Miami scandal could have major repercussions on current recruiting. Middleton junior wide receiver Richard Benjamin, one of the most sought-after players in Hillsborough County, said the report will play a role in his college decision.

"They were actually my number one (choice), but now they are probably lower,'' he said. "It all depends upon what happens (as far as sanctions).

Benjamin has us in his top five. That's great considering his offer list(everybody and their dog). He's making an OV for UTEP

Thought about something after I posted. Next year is really looking positive, even now. The skill positions with McQuay, Hargreaves and Benjamin are Top Ten recruiting targets and all have sincere USF interest. I like what we are doing. Skip is a low key recruiter but the kids that fall in love with us stay in love with us. I think it is because they have come to realize what a tightly knit program we are. Even kids who want to leave the Bay(can't blame a young man for wanting to go out on his own) are giving this program a great deal of respect. Chickillo last year and Agholor this year are great examples.Recruiting is gonna be great if conference politics can keep their mitts off us.

Benjamin, who holds more than 30 Division I-A offers, said Thursday his top five schools, in no certain order, are USF, Florida, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame and Florida State.

from the article bill listed.

I read recently that UF plans on only signing 16 players in this class. They already have 10 verbals. One of them is listed as a WR. So, I'm not sure how high a priority he really is to them, with apparently so few remaining scholarships to give out.

    "I wish you guys could be in the locker room and be on the practice field because it is so much different from what it has been in the past."

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
