  1. I knew of him b/c a buddy of mine has a kid that is a High School QB in that area. He RAVED about him to me and said that we didnt even know how good of a QB we recruited. Then I started researching him and watching film. Im not sure how a QB that had 3800 yds passing and 1200 yds rushing went under the radar so hard.
  2. This was very well written. Great content @Outlaw Even thought I wear my green and gold goggles hard, I have harsher grades. But I agree with what you wrote. Golesh B+: I give a B and share the same sentiment. I feel he gave the best effort he could. But playcalling was questionable. Quarterbacks A- : Brown delivered and is in the history books for USF football. We didn't play QB musical chairs this year, and the coaching staff coached this boy into the history books. I still don't think he is done growing and could be really special. I give him a B. Truthfully he was inconsistent, it's just that he is so good, that he still can have success. He had 10 Ints, too many missed opportunities, bad decisions on when to run or throw. He was sacked 40 times. He needs to learn to throw the ball away. We played a handful of veteran or good QBs. Watching us play them, I've seen a crap load of "almost sacks" that became last-second incompletions. BB has the arm strength to get rid of the ball from any angle. He needs to get better. I can at minimum say he could have reduced his 40 sacks by 15 if he had done a better job throwing the ball away. That rest I put on the O-line. I give him a pass b/c this is his first full year starting and a new OC. If he was a veteran I would give him a C-. He has plenty of film and experience to analyze this off-season. I expect him to go off next year. I posted a screenshot of his high school stats. He had 10 ints his first year as a starter and had only 4 his last year. In his last year of high school, he had 4,990 combined passing and rushing yards. 53 combined TDs, 5 fumbles, and only 4 ints. If he can duplicate those stats his senior year, we will be in the playoffs. Running backs C+: I agree. I had higher expectations. Receivers B: (Agree) Offensive Line D+/C- : I give a (D+) CAG added experienced P5, G6 and Juco players.He This offensive line wasn't that young. They were technically 'middle-aged" in the CFB world. Demontrey Jacobs was a baller. I think the FCS/D2 overachiever route is our best option for getting "hungry" players or "dawgs". Defense D+/C-: C- The secondary was so bad it dragged the rest of the of the defense down. If we shut down the run, which we did several times, there should be no surprises for the secondary. A matter of fact it's sad that most of the 3rd down conversions were passes. Other teams even passed 3rd downs 5 yards or less. I give the defensive line a B. If Jason Vaughn doesn't get injured we would at least have 3-5 more sacks and 10 more TFLs. He was our fastest DE. Special Teams B - they made it "do what it do". I am neutral. Overall B+ for Bulls: I give them a C overall because I actually felt that this team had the "ability" to win 8-10 games, they didn't put together too many complete games.
  3. I would say "you can call me Mr. Bulldick for short" if I was that guy.
  4. How crazy is it that Charlotte never even took a shot at Byrum.
  5. What game was it that the back up QB came in the game and threw a 5 yard pass that ended up as a touchdown? We might have a "back up" curse. lol
  6. Back up players give me anxiety at USF fb games.
  7. I'm listening to Andre 3000 new "flute" album while listening to this podcast. But um "Byron Brown was 12 when Frank Harris started playing" great content!
  8. We are un-duh-feeted with the gold helmets this year. Athletes are usually superstitious so one would think we would have rocked Gold helmets until we lost.
  9. We should target the best transfers from Ivy League schools
  10. It is 2023 and besides Shuler, the last decent Juco player was from 2015. That is almost a decade ago. I'm not knocking Juco players, but they haven't panned out in a while and many are at a Juco b/c they lacked discipline in the classroom or messed up at a previous destination. I think FCS/D2 overachievers give you the most bang for your buck. Then P5 and then Juco.
  11. Most Juco players technically are transfers from P5 schools or students who didn't have the grades. Besides Jason-Pierre Paul, what Juco players ever made an impact at USF? I think our best bet is to find the best FCS/D2 players in the portal. As for P5 transfers, we have had plenty of success in addition to failures. P5 transfers are not all the same. If I'm a good player sitting behind 2 NFL-caliber players, does it mean I suck? Some players are homesick, some players are clashing with a bad coaching staff, and some players want to leave a traumatic event and start fresh. You also have P5 grad transfers that may not have started, but played a crapload of games and is physically at their peak.
  12. We have 15 seniors and 1 player no longer on the team. Im sure we will lose about 5 more. Hopefully we bring in some impact players.
  13. Syracuse, Boise, Miss St, San Diego, michigan state and Texas A&M all lost coaches. There will be plenty more. With that being said, there will be an influx of players in the transfer portal. I hope our coaching staff is ready.
