2 for 1's are bad deals, and I don't give a rat's behind what anyone says. They shouldn't be done. We have officially joined the small time. We used to never do 2:1's. The 2 for 1's only started picking up when Charlie got here. We signed a 1/1 with FSU when Willie was here. What makes Florida any more special. 2 for ones suck. The end. Nothing says small time like giving away home games. Nothing says small time like telling someone else they are too good for you to demand a 1:1. USF = small time = Charlie Strong,

Who cares. He wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't. It's his job to bring in the best possible talent at all times, regardless of who is on the roster. How quickly we forget. Taggart used to say he was recruiting guys to take other guys jobs. I would hope Strong is doing the same. If Barnett "takes" Kean or O's "job", so be it. Give me 20 5 star guys on the roster if you can bring them in and let the best man win. If someone transfers, so sad, too bad.

He got beat out by Jalen Hurts, who led Alabama to 2 national title games. Don't know much about the guy he couldn't beat out at ASU.

I see zero downside to this move. I don't care if Kean and O have been in the system 50 years. I want the best players on the field. Coaches are not stupid. They play the best players. The end. Their livelihoods are at stake if they don't, including their big salaries. Do you think they'd risk their jobs playing a lesser talent, just because they are system guys. That said, I have no idea how good Barnett will be, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Kean or O beat him out. But if they don't, so sad, too bad. If they transfer, so sad, too bad. Taggart always used to say he was recruiting guys to take other guys jobs. That should be any coach's motto.

Simple question. Who is your favorite to start next year and blossom into a star. Don't be wishy washy and pick 2 guys. Who is THE guy, and why. Brett Kean Chris Oladokun Octavious Battle Jordan McCloud Who is the next star QB at USF?

Completely wrong. USF 82.61. UCF 82.40 By the way, USF was over 83 until signing a punter with a rating of 70. That is the reason it dropped to 82.61 to begin with. Because they signed and unheralded punter with a low ranking.

Taggart is a better recruiter than Strong. That said, Charlie is also a good recruiter and will have USF in the 40's nationally (which is a great class for teams in the AAC).

Because the school could easily move on from that recruit. It is easy for the recruit to gamble and lose that a spot will still be available. Now that USF has filled like 18 spots or whatever, they can be really choosy for the last 8-10 spots. They could say they no longer have a spot for recruit "X". Decommitting goes both ways. This IS the new signing day. If a recruit doesn't sign during THIS period, then they weren't committed. End of story. Now maybe their gamble will pay off. For higher level recruits, it absolutely will. A spot will always be found for them. But for any borderline recruits that don't sign, then it's so sad, too bad, when a spot is no longer available because they failed to sign on signing day. I am betting we see another flurry of signings tomorrow as recruits consider that the signing window is closing and may not get another opportunity.

Those signing in Feb are taking a serious gamble that there will still be scholarships available for them. This is the new signing day, and if you don't sign, then you are gambling that a slot will be available. If you are a mid tier or lower tier recruit, you are taking a huge risk if you don't sign. Upper tier recruits can still wait and have leverage, because a spot will be found for them.

Taggart playing Oregon like he did to us last year.

The 3 best teams in American are USF, UCF, and Memphis. Either UCF or Memphis will go to Peach. Loser will go to Birmingham or Military, and USF will go to either Birmingham or Military as the 3rd best team in conf, IMO.

Yes. They count.

Take a look at team FBS offensive rankings and get back with me. Let me know where USF ranks in scoring, total yards, and rushing yards. Gilbert knows a heck of a lot more Football than anyone on this board. He’s forgotten more than you ever knew to begin with

Well over 100 FBS programs would absolutely kill to have our overall offensive numbers. FACT. How much football do you actually watch? We’ve scores less than 30 points twice this year. A lot of teams don’t even average what we scored against Tulsa for an entire year. A whole lot.
