  1. I am not saying we should not hit the portal. I am merely saying the portal is not a be all, end all. As evidenced by the fact that we pillaged the portal last year and won 2 games.
  2. They produced? All I have heard all season is how horrible the DLine was this year. That doesn't sound like good production to me. We were consistently destroyed by any semblance of a running game. I was speaking of DLine. But you are correct. We got four DTs, two of them were unable to play and two played poorly. Thanks for confirmng my point. And yet again. I am not saying not to go to the portal. Someone said "this player was rectuited to a big school. If we get that player from the portal, all our problems are solved." We got four last years and none of our problems were solved. That is my point.
  3. Certaintly not saying we don't need DLine help, clearly we do. And sure one would *hope* to get a *leftover* from a big time school that works out. My only point was the premise that "this guy was on the bench at **** school, so clearly he is an immediate upgrade for us." That part isn't really how things work.
  4. My point is that we have no idea of any particular player we sign will help or not. I know it is fun to speculate. But a guy from JuCo is as likley to succeed as a guy who flamed out a good school. A guy like GB who succeeded on the field is one thing. But a guy that didn't see the field for a "big" school really doesn't mean much
  5. Doesn't mean they can. Didn't we pull like six transfer portal guys on the DLine last year? Did they improve the DLine sognificantly? If so, why are we there again?
  6. Exactly this. A recruiting service has one person looking at highlight reels of hundreds of players and combining that with the offers they have supposedly recieved to determine a star rating. It says nothing about a fit a player might have in a certain system, nothing about the drive, commitment. USF had many people sifting through tape and then doing deeper dives on a smaller subset of players. Recruiting is far more nuanced than a general star rating based on a 20 minute review of highlights.
  7. So, if they were as advertised, would they be in the Transfer Portal?
  8. You have no idea what may or may not have happened, yet you have made a decision. But you caveat the decision. Interesting.
  9. Because there is likely more to it, and humans are complex beings. Deciding from afar that a person you have never once spoken to is a quitter is going to often be an incorrect conclusion, unless the player takes of his jersey and walks off the field in the middle of a game.
  10. More resources = less time. 26k seat soccer stadium in Orlando got built in about 12 months. In some ways it was more complex. Certainly there can be variables on the time aspect. But 2026 season is almost 4 years away. Plenty of time.
  11. Not at all, if the money is there. The biggest hold up is never construction it is land acquisitions and right of way, etc. If this is USF land, that is mostly a non-issue. Get the money right and this takes maybe 12 months to actually build at most.
  12. I mean, I would rather it have a lot more green and gold, personally.
  13. Now that we have that settled we can get back to telling CAG who he must hire as his assistants.
  14. Would love to see him get a run with the Bucs, but RB has not been the problem with this Bucs team. Bucs need Mike White more than they need MM.
  15. Oh, I love the confidence! But he could have said "I am that good" instead of "they are that bad." He is going to basically have to live with these guys, the ones that don't transfer out, anyway. You want them to pull for each other, not mock each other. In any case, glad to have him because we do suck in the secondary.
  16. I mean, he's right. But do you really want to tell your new teammates they suck?
  17. He is going to torpedo a potential 40 year career by intentionally doing a crappy job now? This isn't how anything works.
  18. Not to burst any bubbles, but I am fairly sure DB works closely with USF atletics in his role with the Vinik Group.
  19. The stadium came about because they were ticked off at Orlando for renovatijg the Citrus Bowl without their input. It was the absolute cheapest thing they could buy. I have been in nicer high school stadiums. And the IPF...wow. The only real investment was O'Leary. And that wasn't a huge investment and his returns were uneven to say the least.
