My momma said, there's no need to kiss anyone's ass to get to where you want to be.

There is a difference between kissing their ass and communicating with them.

Maybe I'm the one who doesn't understand the concept of raising a bar .... When Flashy got here, to me, the bar was a lot lower than it is now ... get back back to winning seasons and bowl appearances. You know Skip totally destroyed the program, right? We are back to that point and now the bar is back up ...

The bar is definitely raised from when a Taggart got here, but the current bar is extremely reasonable and I don't see it being a problem. It's not like FSU or Bama where the bar is set extremely high forever, 2 seasons isn't enough time to permanently move the bar.

Do you 2 not understand the concept of raising a bar?

I understand what that is but I would prefer a conference championship and bowl win over a 11-2 season. I really don't think the bar is set that high, 2 good years doesn't really set a bar for most fans. Now for some fans one good season sets an unrealistic bar.

Flashy got us to 11-2. Bar is definitely higher for classy than when flashy got here ...

True but Flashy never won us a conference championship and our Flashy coach never won us a bowl game.

Isn't this the same thing as what Texas HS Coaches said about Strong?

Yeah but Strong had no previous ties to Texas, and a lot of the coaches didn't like him after he recruited Florida his first year. I don't think Strong was ever accused of "alienating" high school coaches in the area.

He wasn't the only coach with an issue

Wait why was the original post down voted?

Any word yet?

He isn't signing today. Our offer must not have been commitable since he seemed to really want to come here.

He posted a photo of him with a letter, but I believe USF has to actually accept it before it's official. Do we have some indication of that?

There was a post on twitter of him with his signed LOI, not sure why it isn't made official yet

Looking ahead, who are some the big targets for the 2018 class?

Isaiah Bolden a current FSU Commit

Ken Montgomery at Hillsborough

Andrew Cunningham RB

Devin Black Armwood QB

Michael Penix Jr Tampa Bay Tech QB

Warren Thompson Armwood WR

These are just some of the guys I can think of off the top of my head, both QB's have said they are strongly considering us and any of the other players would be year 1 starters IMO. Still a year out, plenty will change.

What names are still left on the board?

Wilson and Grayson unless we get a big surprise. Wilson isn't coming here and I'm not even sure if Grayson has a commitable offer

I agree. The Carol City 3 made up for the loss of Judson and co. 

More than made up for them

Just now, USFBULL_08 said:

Do we know when they are scheduled to announce?

Brini any second now, Wilson at 4:30, Grayson at 6

I think Brini ends up at FIU but I hope he goes here. Nothing on his twitter recently has suggested Georgia.

Just now, JoeB said:

Need Brini now...is he the only other one left is could there be another surprise?

 

Unless we magically get Marvin Wilson who didn't visit. Somebody posted that Tyrell Thompson, a JUCO player retweeted one of Shaun Kings hype tweets so we may potentially get him.

Just now, BullsFanInTX said:

Who are we still waiting on now?

Demetris Harris

Keirsron Johnson

AJ Davis

Latavious Brini

Who's left from the wish list that still hasn't signed yet?

Pretty much all of them since they announce between 11:00 and 1:30. Zachary Carter is the only one that I really wanted that has signed elsewhere so far.

Is Frederick Lloyd any good?

He won't make a splash in his first couple of years but he has the frame and hands to be a good TE.

Good sign but not official 

Good sign but not official

Signed with Washington State

At a minimum, I'm hoping Strong can land these guys:

• Latavious Brini 3* DB
• Naytron Culpepper 3* DB
• Donelle Thomas 3* DB
• Keyvaughn Dingle 3* WR
• Demetrius Harris 3* OG
• Keirston Johnson 3* ILB
• Jabreel Stephens 3* DE

This is what I expect as well but I'm not as sure about Brini, who seems to be leaning more towards FIU. I'm really hoping to get AJ Davis because he could play as a freshman IMO and could help us land Robinson as well.
