Here is his 2016tape from Santa Barbra College https://www.hudl.com/profile/7414328/trent-schneider/videos

his tape is a year old, but it looks like he gets good hang time and seems to do ok with both the traditional punt and the rugby. https://www.hudl.com/profile/7414328/trent-schneider/videos

they could be there. But this class could produce a DL unit that we haven't seen in the past. IMO.

DL is going to highlight this class. A lot of potential here.

Do you have a Hudl account. you can find his senior highlight tape there. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/4233204/5a282d43bed6cb3884610392 This is where I go for all film on prospects.

I second this. I don't really care to get into which BBQ is better, but this place is really good.

So much for coming home.

This was an awesome way to get my day going.

I did not expect this. That's awesome!!

November wouldn't be too bad. I think there are a lot of factors that separate football and basketball. For instance, those athletes in the elite class, are only making a one year decision. Also the fact that the championship gets decided by 64 team tourney in which everybody has a chance, if they win. Its also a much more individualist sport, I understand that there is a team, but one player on a basketball team can make a much bigger impact than one on a football team. So making the early decision to go to a smaller school doesn't automatically disqualify you from winning a NC, I think that goes along way in whether or not an athlete would regret his decision. I will also revert back to the point about adults vs children. You can say that no one is making them sign early, but you don;t what is being said to that athlete. A grown adult could very easily manipulate an athlete to make a decision that is not in their best interest. Especially when there's uncertainty about that senior season. I don't think the early signing period changes anything about pressure on athletes, it just changes when it happens and makes them make decisions before they have all the information. The preventing of late defections only helps the school and does nothing for the athlete. I can't see anything wrong with a kid changing his mind in the last hour because they believe its what's best for them, good or bad as it may be for a school like USF. I'm going to side with the athlete, they need more time, a change in the transfer rules.

I don't see it as a two way street in August. To me, it is much more advantageous to the school. Lets say a kid gets an offer and signs in august. If that kid gets hurt, they can use a red shirt and still get the four years they wanted. considering most recruits are not going top be asked to come in and play right away, the school doesn't actually lose anything. Now, lets say the player signs in August, has a great year and his world changes in those 6 months from August to December, (some of these athletes are still growing) and he receives offers that he had never considered . The athlete has no option, they are at the mercy of the school (to tell him where he/she can go) and will still lose a year due to transfer rules. Just as someone who spends a tremendous amount of time with high school athletes, its just too early to locked in. Coaching staffs are grown men who can fully weight a decision 12 months in advance, and they usually do it together. You can't hold a teenager to the same standard and you can't mandate that they have quality mentors to help. To me, it would just lead to a lot of transfers and unhappy athletes.

Pretty sure Q can be just as good as anyone on this list. So the idea that being a QB "stunted" his development is a little off. All QB's "should have an understanding of how a WR or a RB should play. Its just a matter of doing the footwork drills, which would be no problem for him in the off season. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/188551-pryor-comparisons-college-qbs-who-made-nfl-position-switches

If this were to happen, I think they would have to consider an Opt-out period. August is a very long time to hold to a binding commitment. Maybe they if they signed in august, then other teams would be locked out from communicating with them until now (Dec 20-22). Then they would have three days to switch the commit.

Sorry if this is elsewhere on here, But does anyone know who the surprise visitor was? I am not a VIP member so I cant read the article. https://247sports.com/college/south-florida/Bolt/Bulls-247-has-learned-of-a-surprise-visitor-that-took-a-mid-week-trip-to-campus--112330431

This

USF 42-38 Flowers McCants 427

its only cool because it worked.

I didn't know much about him before reading this article, but I believe he will be much better for us than his rating. When a kid with kind of heart gets challenged, they usually respond in big ways. I like what he will do for us off the field as well.

I just saw this and was going to post it, incredible young man, “Get me out or I’ll be dead by the time I’m 16.” Not very many young people have this kind of insight at 13.

those kind of protests rarely payoff. But hey, maybe both quit for unrelated reasons.

I didn't watch either, but.... While the affects of the acceleration can be debated, its still a stepping stone. At the time that we made the jump the Big East was an AQ conference in the BCS. Those conferences had standards that had to be met. I can't really find much information on UCF decision making policies concerning conference selections, so I guess the question would be, did they stay in C-USA by choice? or because there wasn't a better option. If you can find any links that show that they were choosing to stay in C-USA, I would genuinely like to read it. If we are being honest, after the creation of the power 5, we were regulated to their level and from all that I've read, we were trying to be with the big boys. I personally see no benefit in staying in a smaller conference. you play to win the game, You win the game to win an NC. To me its the same as us wanting to be a power 5 team. It seems we are a package deal nowadays so we will see where it goes. I understand that I am attempting to split hairs, but to prove that we are better than them, I will attempt to split a wig.

Throwing that Rat poison at them haha

My point in all of this was that to me, the last 96 hours doesn't really matter considering the programs as a whole. In my opinion, we have the better, and more consistently successful program that accelerated at a much faster rate than our counter parts.

also, 12-0, I think Auburn might have something to say about that 13th win
