Noon in the 99 dollar section is going to be fun. I'm used to sitting in the shade, I don't think my better half is going to make that trip. I may have a ticket up or grabs if you don't mind a little sun....or a lot of sun. 

USF junior Mitchell Wilcox was selected to the 2018 John Mackey Award Preseason Watch List on Friday, the award given annually to the most outstanding collegiate tight end.

A quick look on DuckDuck says she transferred to Tampa DII.  Don't know if anyone knows different.

Yep she's on their roster. I guess the city wasn't the issue.

Nagy was having trouble getting over her injury.  Maybe she wasn't going to be getting any playing time?  Can't blame Prieto for turning pro.  Both were the nicest kids and we'll miss them.

Where did she transfer to?

Geeez....my orientation was here is your schedule...go find your class room.

I was on lock down for two and half hours because there was a potential gunman on campus. Ended pulling a lunch date out it because there’s only so many classes you can look at to schedule. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a coupel really big seasons in the future. A lot of factors at play but he certainly has the  potential to be an all time back for us. 

Because this probably the most extensive conversation on volleyball that most of us have ever had.

I didn't read your whole post, but just wanted to point out that I merely said Grothe needs to be on there, and nothing I posted said anything about a preclusion for Tino being on it as well.

Well the whole post breaks down my opinion it’s not clear as day that he should be on there. There are four other options that’s could stake a claim.

I Think he will slim down a bit just because of the change and diet and strength training he will get at USF.  Even if he slims down to say 225 he will be more solid than he was coming out of high school.  

A solid 225 would certainly do the trick. I wanna see him stay away from the 205 range.

He is getting redshirted, but looked great in the spring game

yeah I figured he at least a year away. I just  hope he doesn't slim down to get faster, I want to see 230 go through the line.

The American wrapped up the season with eight of its nine member teams in the top 100 of the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index this year. The American is one of four conferences (with the ACC, Pac-12 and SEC) to boast three top-30 RPI teams: ECU at No. 15, UConn at No. 20 and USF at No. 28.

Wichita State All-America third baseman Alec Bohm and USF southpaw Shane McClanahan were each selected in the First Round of the Major League Baseball Draft. Bohm was the third overall pick in the draft and selected by the Philadelphia Phillies, while McClanahan was the 31st overall pick and selected by the Tampa Bay Rays.

The 2018 Bulls’ offense made their mark in The American’s history book, setting season records in batting average (.296), slugging percentage (.464), doubles (147) and total bases (951). 

The Bulls’ doubles finished the year ranked No. 2 in the nation, while the Knights’ stolen bases ranked ninth.

Ten American Athletic Conference baseball players earned All-America recognition from ABCA/Rawlings, Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, CoSIDA, D1Baseball.com, the NCBWA and Perfect Game. Wichita State’s Bohm and Liam Eddy, UConn’s Mason Feole, P.J. Poulin, Isaac Feldstein and Christian Fedko, ECU’s Packard, Chris Holba and Alec Burleson and USF’s Villar each picked up awards. Packard led the group with seven All-America nods.

Now that i'm looking in to it. I think Antoine showed some flashes of explosiveness last season. I also think we are going to need someone to step up at LB, I think Polk might be that guy. 

I like Mack to have a big year but I also think Cronkrite could eat a lot of his carries.

Speaking of big backs, I'm kinda ready to see Big Brian Norris tote the rock.  I would love to see him frame out around 235. 

I Know he played a lot last season so it might not be considered breakout, but I’m looking for Thomas to take a step forward at safety. I like his big frame at the position a la Cam Chancellor. 

I'm thinking a high school coach will take the top spot. Not sure on who. I like Madden or Dungy as the top pro and either Leavitt or Urso for top college

recruits love IPF. They spend more time there.

This story confirms they are not paid 

Despite its minor-league model, players are not paid during these summer leagues because of NCAA rules. That can make the financial situation unsettling for some, but the host families alleviate some of those concerns by providing food and housing. The teams also provide meals, transportation to away games and hotel accommodations when on the road.

I'm guessing they're getting room and board, and some spending money? How does this not kill their college eligibility? In any other sport, it would, no?

 

I believe they pay to play in the summer leagues. There are people who act as host families to help with room and board, But I don't think they receive a salary 

Also leads the league in TFLs

He isn't looking at G5 schools. Maybe UCF thought their National Championship came with a P5 invite? 

Jokes aside I feel like he is going SEC. My gut says LSU

CBG will be talking about the schedule on the Bulls Beat with Derek Sharp.

A couple of stud young h/s players. 486 is unreal even with a metal bat. Can't wait to see Hinds can bring this type of power to the SEC next season. 

 Finals came down to Harper and Schwarber. In my opinion, two of the most violent swings in the game.
