He could choose to be positive, but being a douche gets more eyes.

I may be missing something since I'm not local, but why doesn't the Tampa media push USF the way that Orlando does for UCF? Don't they get that USF to the Big 12 is good for business (media and region)? Am I missing something? When I was local Greg always had great coverage. I see some now, but not on same level. Can we get some hometown support? Just one example

Haven't read everything so if I'm duplicating an idea, my apologies. I think one of the most overlooked advantages of bringing either USF and or UCF into the Big 12 is the impact it will have on other conferences and recruiting. I'm not saying we will keep 5 star players from UF, FSU, or any of the true elite programs. However, if you put the programs in a P5 conference you will see more 4 star and high 3 star players from FL stay home, as they will view both programs as having arrived. This will make some of the ACC, Big 10 (not Michigan or Ohio State), and even some SEC programs have to look elsewhere for talent, in turn potentially weakening those conferences. Obviously big "if" but an argument could be made. I know the argument was why couldn't USF do it in the Big East. First, the program was too young. 2nd, the Big 12 (despite criticism) has true tradional power programs. 3rd, I believe it was beginning to happen prior to Leavtt's firing. Thoughts?

Once a Jabroni, always a Jabroni.

Don't post often, but needed to mention how much he a annoys me. Obviously paid to report sports news, but he enjoys pissing on USF. Wish local reporters would support the hometown team, but he's a *****. Need more fans to let him know it

These aspects are fairly big and not a part of her comp. Overall comp she is probably 3rd or 4th Tenured professorship Deferred compensation Annual retirement contribution of $75,000

if this is where we are looking, it is definitely interesting. Fickell made $600k last year (although it is believed he was being phased out a bit and some of that was bonus). Allen would get a raise coming here.

It should be worth a visit then a stop by Stats on game day (right down the road)

He's going to be a HS senior, no transfer, he's just shopping his services. He was a 5* receivers, but got downgraded to 4* (we all know what *s are worth) by rivals due to the question of him being able to consistently catch the ball and the belief that he may be better on the defensive side. Hes a remarkable athlete that needs to be molded into a high caliber D1 football player. Its a very longshot that he would come here.

its funny how Ben Howland and Shaka are picks to replace him, but there is question whether they can match the salary

He is ok. The thing is you are comparing him to Greg. Greg is an exceptional beat writer and should be more in my opinion. He does his job in a way that makes others look like slackers ... He's just on top of things. Look at his beat for the bucs now - just like with USF he has multiple posts, consistently tweeting tidbits, interacts with readers regularly. It's like comparing a hall of gamer with just a pro. The pro is good, but there's a gap between their skills/game.

He absolutely should be looking for more offers, never know what is going to happen. He should be working for every offer he can get. I hope he comes to USF (regardless of the new commit, competition is good). However he has to look out for #1, don't blame him 1 bit. GO BULLS!

Driskel will be a JR. this year. They do have a commit from Will Grier, #2 qb this year (I believe). However you have to think that after losing their backup they would take 2.

Even with 2 PFs Henry is someone you have to add, if we want to have consistent success. In my opinion would have the most impact next year if we get him, he is much more of an immediate impact than others. Regardless of rankings or potential (he is fairly highly ranked) he is a big that can score.

Trending on twitter ... Signed with Knicks.

I hope it does mean something. Classes like this, hopefully with Henry, build depth. I keep hearing with Austin we would have been better, but that's not it. With depth we would have been better. Egbunu and Henry together would be ideal. Pair them with Perry and Ziegler (better than most realize) and you have nice pieces to add both talent and depth. LeDay is most likely never going to be a stud, but can be solid (good length and hustle) and Hawkins hopefully will develop (talented, but in my opinion needs work and a faster tempo to succeed) and you have 6 underclassmen that should contribute - building DEPTH. A class or two like this could energize a fan base that is dying for competitive. Depth helps you not have an NCAA season then a sub 500 team when you only lose a few pieces. Stan please close this kid. It's last call and we're one "piece" short tonight (for this class). Pull out all the stops and take this one home. GO BULLS!

It would have helped a bit, but not a game changer. Would have won a few more, but not NCAA type performance regardless. 2 bigs and it's a different story.

He was their coach then, and they won PAC 12 this year (or at least a share). Good coach, seems to have lost a little fire. Could regain at next job but he's not coming here. I agree with the bold statement. My question to you is if was possible, would you take Howland as the USF coach next season and beyond? Honestly if it was realistic yes. I like a guy with a chip on his shoulder. If he feels like he has something to prove could be good. Probably only be a 3-4 year stay since he'd be looking for a "big" job, but I wouldn't mind him piling up some talent for a young hungry guy. He might even win sooner with the talent coming in (if we get Henry too). I don't dislike Heath. Think he's a nice guy and a decent coach. I just don't thing he's got that chip. We've created an environment where if you don't completely fail you are safe and that creates a comfortable coach. Got to have a little discomfort with expectations. We made a hell of a run last year and expect the team to improve next year, but I was hoping to see a better team this year. I know we lost Austin, but it's the coaches job to maintain depth and to be honest i only think we'd have been marginally better with him. Just my two cents, not necessarily worth the two pennies though.

Brisset went to NC state about a month ago or so.

If you have a chance at a db like this, you have to look

High quality players with a desire to play at home are always a great thing. Nice pick up, with time there will be more. As fans we have to love this. Support our team and more will come. Building a winner starts at home with good kids that can see the vision we all have for our university. GO BULLS!

We dont know th full story amd may never know it all. It could have been handled a bit differently, but it is what it is. NIf he's as good of a student as they claim then he should be able to earn a scholarship of sort. Help him find the remainder and let him be preferred walk on. Sometimes the truth hurts and if he's not good enough for a scholarship, why waste one. Life is hard and things happen.

Not a huge deal. Even Alabamas "associate head coach" is their RBs coach and they have an offensive coordinator. Pretty common in general

He's a kid getting a free vandy education. Although I love USF he made a good decision. He was going to be marginal at best in college and it works out best for all parties. We have an open scholarship and he gets a superb education and hopefully will become a doctor like he wants. He's just a kid
