I know what I am saying is pure speculation, but I think the strength of this USF team is in the Junior class, so I think if he leaves, it will be the year after next. Losing Sanchez, Mack, Johnson, MVS, Senat, Nichols, Fullwood, Abraham, some linemen, and Flowers.
All we lose this year is Adams (huge loss) and who else? Harris? Godwin? Awoloke? Amichia? Those are plenty manageable losses
Plus, the buyout would be less if he stayed an extra year.
