No strength to rebound and no quickness on offense = another very long season

They look exactly how I expected - lousy.

Signing today - Massimo Mbetse (Saint Stephen's Episcopal School/Bradenton)

Every first down. Every damned one!

The offense is basic and unimaginative, the middle of the field is never tested and several proven offensive weapons in the passing game are ignored - primarily Johnson, Wilcox and Dillon.

They deserve it

They may not beat Houston and they certainly won't beat UCF.

OK, since I was busting on JK for never breaking any news, here's some for our USF golf fans - I know there are a least a couple on here. The Bulls have a commitment from Massimo Mbetse of Saint Stephen's in Bradenton. He'll be signing with the Green & Gold during the November signing period. Oh, and he has more than a little resemblance to a young Tiger. :-)

I see Joey is getting pounded by Bulls fans in his Twitter feed for the perception of negative reporting. Honestly, that's not really the issue with Joey Knight. The real issue is that, despite the fact he's been on the beat for several years, it doesn't appear that he's developed any significant sources to help him with his reporting. My sense is that he very rarely gives us any breaking news - not when it comes to team coverage, coaching searches, recruiting, etc. News outlets outside the Tampa area often seem better plugged in than the local beat writer. That's the real issue. His predecessor built those sources and regularly broke USF news, and when he didn't break the story, he'd do more than just re-report what was already out there, he'd give us more detail or perspective. Joey doesn't.

??? What are you talking about here? Q has no eligibility left after this season.

If they're "Honoring where they've been" - I think we should respect that by calling them by their original nickname from now on - Citronaughts.

Never like to see injuries and he surely has struggled with them his whole time at USF, but . . . he was absolutely awful last year. One dimensional shooter - and not very good. Couldn't defend. Turnover machine. It would have been great to see him have a bounce-back season, but I was already hoping the new talent was good enough to push him to the bench.

We have two seriously under-the-radar players - twin brothers relocated from Canada - at the school where I work. So far, I'm not aware of any interest from USF, but there should be. The RB (Chase) has some significant offers, including Syracuse, Purdue, Indiana, UCF. The safety (Sydney) can run and hits like a ton of bricks. Tulane is his best offer so far. As a guy who wrote recruiting for Rivals.com for a number of years, I can tell you these two are going to make a couple of schools pretty happy when they get there. Great kids. Great, aggressive players with LOTS of tools. If anyone has a connection to the USF staff . . . Read more: http://www.heraldtribune.com/sports/20170925/prep-football-seeing-double

This kid is from my high school in upstate NY!

Agreed

I watched the show. I think it was either 90 minutes or two hours and USF's class was discussed for about 1 minute. "Mike Ford's good. So is Claude Davis." That's what you missed if you missed this show.

You could say the same thing for Angelberger, Butler. Taborelli and Daniel, too, looking at those numbers. USF's offensive numbers were pathetic across the board.

Given your previous track record of attacking me, why would I take it any other way?

Ah, my good friend MikeB. Never fails. Still don't know what I did to make you feel the way you do, and you've never responded when asked. Sorry you're holding onto whatever that is.

Guys: Have a look at some of the sights from today's practice, courtesy of USFBullsEYE.com. http://usf.rivals.com/feature.asp?SID=1074&FeKey=11370 Dave

Yep, Kyle. And we also write in English over on Rivals.

No need to apologize Bullsman (at least I think you're referring to me). I had the list of visitors - including Alexander and McQueen in my TUESDAY report. http://usf.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=502561

Still trying to figure out exactly what it is I did to MikeB that has me No. 1 on his list. Wanna give me a clue, Mike? usfbullseye@verizon.net

Steve/guys: Thanks so much. I appreciate that. Chris and I worked hard on it. Glad you enjoyed it. Give the good folks at USF some feedback on our behalf if you get a chance. And TripleB, good catch on the UCF typo :-[. As you can see, those are the Louisville numbers in there. We all missed that one. Hopefully, you won't turn up many more.
