Virginia Tech has a poisonous culture right now from what I'm hearing..everybody seems to be transferring out. Good for him if he decides to go there but...I could see him potentially coming back to us in a few year.

He's listed as a top 100 in the state. That is always a great get!

It would be great if they'd have a long talk with coach and family before making this decision the first time.  I think most take the best offer that comes along until a better offer comes along.    Sadly, a day in the life of a G5 school....

Whose got it better than us.....nobody!

The fantasy that we get our pick of the vast baseball talent in the state of Florida?

There is plenty of baseball talent to go around in Florida...tons of kids playing at JUCO and D-2 in the State that would be starting on many other D-1 teams in other states but weren't sufficiently scouted.

I'm pretty sure he was told to apply for other positions...not making the conference tourney is a big "no-no" when we should legitimately be in regionals every year.

That's cool. If the Bulls can't ever win anything noteworthy, maybe one of our coaches can do so by proxy? Can we do UCF one better and claim a World Championship!? They only have a National Championship.

I just don't think we can be competitive in the State of Florida in Baseball. There just isn't enough talent here to go around especially compared to the other teams in our conference hailing from Kansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Ohio. Those are powerful baseball states! When has a college baseball team from Florida ever been any good. We got a conference title in baseball in 1995. We need to be content with that.

There's always next year

That's the official USF motto right?

Give the Baseball team some slack...they won our last major conference title back in the 90's.

A 5'4" receiver...hmm not exactly a big target...

 I didn't mean to disparage any of the other USF sports programs with this post. I am personally a big fan of USF softball, soccer, and volleyball. I have attended a good number of events in those sports. I just don't think those sports are going to affect the next round of realignment or move the needle on the future of the athletic department like the big 3 sports will.

Better than Navy I guess. They're not on the list at all

I honestly forgot about Navy...they are football only and Patriot league in Baseball/Basketball. They won the league in 2016 in Baseball.

Hey guys, I did a little research because I was told that the last major sport (baseball, football, basketball) conference championship that USF won was in baseball in 1995. I was legitimately curious about how this stacked up against our other conference mates. I'm only listing the last conference championship for each school. Feel free to fact check me as I may have made an error. This is the last time each school won a conference title in a major sport:

  School         Last Conf. champ.           Sport

1. ECU                      2018                      Baseball

2. UCF                      2018                      Football

3. Cincy                   2018                      Basketball

4. Wichita St.          2017                      Basketball

5. Houston              2017                      Baseball

6. SMU                     2017                     Basketball

7. Temple                2016                      Football

8. UCONN               2016                      Baseball and Basketball

9. Tulsa                   2014                      Basketball

10. Memphis          2014                      Football

11. Tulane               2005                      Baseball

12. USF                   1995                       Baseball       

Looking at the roster, I don't think this is a bowl team. I think we are beginning a rebuild that might take a few years. I really hope that I am wrong.

These are two very different takes.  If you think our class should be better than the teams listed, that's one thing, but to expect the top class in the conference, based on our recent history, is quite different.

Well, I think it just reiterates the fact that we have fallen behind the rest of our conference and are trending towards the back of the pack in the NCAA. SMU and Memphis should not be in our hemisphere recruiting wise. I can understand UCF being top dog this year as they are in a similar situation as us and have more recent success. We will have to see how transfers pan out I guess.

Why do you believe that?  What makes us so special?  Is it all of our conference championships?  Our state of the art practice facilities?  Our massive fan base?

Getting the top class would be great, but to expect it is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

We finished 74th nationally according to 247 this year behind: FAU, North Texas, SMU, Toledo, Marshall and Kansas...what have they done? We are a major university in Florida competing with the back of the NCAA pack for talent it seems.

The recruiting of CCS has been a disappointment so far. No reason that we shouldn't have a top class in the conference year in and year out.

The cupboards are bare of talent at this point...Taggart left us with nothing. ::sarcasm::

I want George Campbell. Local kid that was unstoppable in high school.

I might be in the minority, but my disdain for the Gators is only out shined by C.

Has anybody counted up how many scholarships we have a available right now? It seems to me that we lost a small recruiting class worth of players this off season.

Great hire! This offensive philosophy looks to be just what the doctor ordered to get some excitement back in to this team/fans.

So the only way that we can get anything done is if the Gators start supporting us...geez

The sad thing is, at the beginning of the year I thought that our fanbase was returning. Attendance was looking up. Now...they gone!

12,500 actual bodies in the stands for a home bowl game.

This program’s fan support is dead.

Unexciting and horrible team, meaningless bowl against bad opponent in terrible weather,...yeah, our fans aren't showing up for that.
