Pitt constantly has a top recruiting class...it hasn't translated on the field yet.  Some coaches are great recruiters but mediocre coaches (i.e. Zook @UI).  We'll be fine. good point and usf will be fine if you mean middle of the pack dont compete for big east title fine Last time I checked, our recruiting classes were improving year after year.  You don't build empire overnight.  What's really going to help the cause is to start consistently putting Bulls in the NFL.  10 years isnt overnight no empire will be built at usf if we cant out recruit competition we are in middle of the best talent in the sport usf should be dominating the recruiting  with leavitt being here 10 years Why should USF be dominating the recruiting??? Because you think so??? The big three have been among the tops in the nation now for 20+ years and have all the tradition. And the way they got there was by taking the recuits that they could get and winning games. Over time those wins translated into traditions and then the big recruits started coming in. Sorry that LA has dissipated your patients...
