USF's current exchange rate is 1:1 with Nevada, WKU, and Old Dominion. What does that translate into UCLA games?

 

With the way we've been playing, I'd say probably about the same as Pesos to USD.

1 US Dollar equals

12.73 Mexican Peso

 

 

OK, so we do 13-1 instead of 3-1. I'm down with that.

I took as him saying we'd get the 1

This. With the direction we were heading we were on track to end up a pay to play opponent.

On the same note, USA Today mentions both Cincinnatti and Louisville in their "Ten winners and losers on national signing day."

Love the enthusiasm. This kid is going to go far.

Big deal. A future B10 team got a Tampa kid. Marshall (Shykeem Pitts) and FIU (Vontarius West) have the same number of committments from top bay area prospects: 1. Toledo is the top choice for a four-star St. Pete WR (Rodney Adams). It happens. Kids go places other than USF. If you want to complain about someone in the conference killing Florida recruiting, go after Louisville. They've got committments from 5 of the Top 100 Florida kids and are finalists for 3 more. Understandably so after the way they tore UF up on national TV. If we had seasons like them, we'd be getting these kids, too.

He's not really a 4.48 guy from the look of his tape. I'd estimate much closer to 4.6. He's small and a bit of a dancer.

 

Not a bad prospect by any means. Nothing I'm getting gooey over, though.

 

6ft 200lbs is small? He would instantly be the tallest RB on the team and only a few pounds lighter than are heaviest backs. He could easily bulk up to 215-225 in a year making him our biggest back since Mike Ford.

This. 200 pounds is a good weight coming out of HS. At 6'0", he's got the frame to add some weight. I'm glad he's got a little height. Hans can put some bulk on him, but you can't make him taller.

 

Excited to see him take the field.

Fedora says he's still a member of the team and expects him to re-enroll this summer. I don't even see that he has any Florida connections.

Going to coach Special Teams. I like the Bucs, but geez. It's bad enough I have to look at Schiano's mug on Sundays, but now the 'stache, too?

Running the Bulls â€@USFBulls_Rivals

Reports out of Immokalee say that #NCState hung out by @USFFootball commit Deadrin Senat's car for three hours just to talk to him.

 

Running the Bulls â€@USFBulls_Rivals

#NCState evidently left a 'list' of why the school in Raleigh is better than USF... Senat is firmly committed according to two sources.

 

   

 

Creepy, much? This is what I imagine was waiting at the car for him.

 

Yeah, he is committed in spirit only...  

 

You calling him an alkie? Committed to the spirits?

 

No, he's native American, committed to the rain dance and the peace pipe.  Just like Elizabeth Warren.  

 

Yes, that is why he was an Indian giver on his verbal commitment      

 

Good for AW, he needs to go where he will be happy and achieve his potential.    If he wants to go to a school where he will be a footnote rather than a Hall of Fame Alumni that is his choice. 

 

This. If he's as good as advertised, makes some noise in the Spring Game, and is the starter come August, there will probably be a 90-minute+ line to get his autograph at Fan Fest, at least there was for Grothe and Daniels the past few years. Not sure what UCLA's fan day is like, but I'm not sure there'd be much demand for the 2nd or 3rd string QB.

WVU RB Antonio Andrews may transfer to USF as a graduate student. He wouldn't have to sit out a year. Has a ring of truth, IMO. 

 

Good thing he graduated. It'd be hard to get those credits to transfer as we don't offer degrees in couch burning.

 

Edit: Nevermind, after reading the link, he is from WKU, not WVU.

Not good.......

@GerryH247sports puts #USF commit Lamar Robbins on "flip watch"

 

After 3 days? Do any of these kids know what the word commit means?

He's committed to Cincinnati. Is there indication that he's looking at us?

@taylordavid1 Ayy bro I got reddy on an official visit with me at Usf . This man is a full time perka I can't wait to tell you bout this man

I'm not up to date on my slang but i assume 'perka' is short for 'perkalater' which is someone who is a good time to be around. Right?

Greg Auman â€@gregauman

RB @LorenzoWoodley has "strong, strong desire" for USF

So in other words, offer him so he can keep his options open and maybe have us near his top 3?

J.Rowland â€@RowlandRIVALS

Near 4-star RB JoJo Kemp has made his college decision. He won't be going public with it until Friday at the earliest. #UK #WVU #Pitt #USF

"Near 4-star," is that a new rating?

Simple explanation. If he commits to Pitt, WVU, or UK, he's a four-star prospect. If he comes here, he's a three star prospect.

Does Taggs get em both?

 

 

Greg Auman â€@gregauman

Gainesville RB Rapheal Webb -- a recent target of USF's -- will announce his college choice Monday at 8:30, with teammate LB Keith Kelsey.

 

It's an interesting tweet. I wonder if that means they're going to the same school or if he just mentioned them in the same sentence because we're targeting them both. The only offers I can see in common for them (based on Yahoo's offer list) is Utah, South Alabama, and USF. If they're both planning on going to the same school and both plan on taking scholarships (not walking on), then I would thing that bodes well for us (assuming that offer list is accurate).

Kiss my effing *ss UK. Go find your own recruits. Just because you are the lamest program in the SEC doesn't mean you can take advantage of my hamstrung ass.

 

#USF target Sebastian River LB James Clark raves about #UK visit

 

We need to get this kid on campus quick.

Can we please lock this thread? We can unlock it if he starts leaning toward USF again.

This. For the love of God.

In all honesty, I don't care if he signs or not. Hopefully we get someone like a John O'Korn, Akeem Jones, or at least a JUCO instead to complement our recruiting class. With that in mind, this "lock the thread" talk sounds like sour grapes because some people don't like what he's done. Being butt hurt because he is still exploring options isn't a reason to lock a thread. Rafferty, Kemp, Hardison, etc. are likely going elsewhere, but they still have unlocked threads. Has he even said anywhere that he's leaning more towards another school than USF? All I've seen is that his father enjoyed the Clemson visit the most. Stop pouting, man up, and leave the thread alone if you don't like it. Christ sakes.

Either way, I told her to tell him this is Bulls Country, and he's not welcome.

 

Right on! She didn't need that job anyways.

Lock it!!

 

 

Lock please.

 

 

Lock it.  He's gone

 

So, are we going to lock every recruit topic from the last 8 years, too? The Carlton Hill thread is still open.

As of 1/8:

  

Fred Coppet Running Back
5-foot-9 | 176 | St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)
Buzz: Coppet spoke to coach Larry Scott and is trying to arrange a date for a visit. He said USF is still "very high" on his list. He recently received an offer from Houston where teammate John O'Korn has committed. If the Bulls can get Coppet, they may be able to flip O'Korn.

Probably trolling. Sounds like he's talking about Hillsborough High's QB but he's a sophomore who's thrown more INTs than TDs this year.

 

Really...Taggert offers a QB that has thrown more int's than TD's?    He should look at Alex M @ Gaither HS....Not sure of why he offered that 10th grader?

 

I'm not sure if he offered the Hillsborough HS QB, I thought he did based on your comments. You originally posted "Coach T goes and gets the Hillsbrough QB." I assumed you were talking about Hillsborough HS, but I think you were referring to Mike White since you posted "This kid is the real deal and hate to say better than any Tampa QB period!" in his thread. Mike White is not in Tampa or anywhere in Hillsborough county, he is from University HS in Fort Lauderdale. Based on your topic, everyone thought you were talking about Taggart offering someone we hadn't heard about.

He needs to bring Ronde in to talk to the DBs about the concept of interceptions.

 

Seriously?  The Bucs had the 5th best interception total in the NFL this past season.  Interceptions weren't their problem - it was the lack of an every-down pass rushing threat and an inability of the cornerbacks to cover receivers. 

 

Why are there so many misconceptions about how and where the Bucs struggled?

 

I think he was referring to the Bulls' DBs and their lack of interceptions.
