As the dominant newspaper for the south-bay counties of Sarasota & Manatee, the change in interest in USF football since the arrival of Taggart is nothing short or amazing.
excerpt:
Was his first class the best in the country? Of course not. How about the state? Nope to that as well, as if such an accomplishment even was remotely possible, given the timing of Taggart’s hire.
But if you’re into those bogus and self-serving ratings, Scout.com had his class ranked 61st in the country and fifth in the Big East, while Rivals.com ranked it 55th and 247sports.com 54th.
In the real world, Taggart and his staff aren’t fixated on four- and five-star recruits. What they seek are players who can develop in his system into this top-tier talent.
