Personally I feel you lose your other RBs by waiting a week. The longer this plays out the less confident they will become. Especially if he doesn't come.

That reason alone is why I think Bench starts. Coach Taggart told the other QBs they weren't good enough by flirting with every QB out there. Would have been a disaster if we didn't land one. Every day Dyer sits on this our chances decrease IMO and every day we play the waiting game our other RBs will question themselves. I don't care how good or confident you are if your partner(coach) starts flirting with someone else(Dyer) right in front of your face its going to affect you. And Dyer is using us for a better offer. 2 weeks ago he was toxic minus WKU and Marshall. Now he gets a decent offer and we're not good enough...

I really don't think the coaches should be worried about hurt feelings.  I did not play at that level but whenever a coach tried to replace me it made me work harder to try to prove the coach wrong.  

Dyer is trying to land in the place that is best for him.  For all we know he has made a decision and is trying to check to see if he has the grades to make it into whatever school he has settled on.   

I have a gut feeling, that he is committing to UCLA...they seem to be the biggest school out of all his offers.

 

Plus he may just want to get away from FL...now the real question is will he pan out.  I can't read through this thread, but some of the comments is that he is our Johnny Football or Tim Tebow.  And he could a stud, which if he comes to USF...great, if he goes another place, I wish him the best.  But his numbers are just average and the Elite 11 is all hype from ESPN and Nike.  I see some QB's ranked pretty high in talent rankings that weren't on ESPN, so until I see AW or any of the other gys on the field I'm holding my comments.

As a vet, I agree.  

I can't believe we are discussing recruiting in the context of the military.  That being said, it only weakens the original point about how mature 18 year olds are.  We would have a hell of a time with our all volunteer army without naive 18 y/o kids.  Most were shocked they had been lied to by their recruiters - I guess they will never get it.

Folks tend to write off the actions of an 18 year old so easily saying "he's only 18", this is typical 18 year old behavior, these are "kids".  Sorry, but 18 year olds are adults under the law for a reason.  By that time you either "get it" or you don't.  Age has nothing to do with maturity/integrity.  You see it every day in the NFL and with other players who were class acts all the way through.  If you believe the "age=maturity/integrity" then I offer you Terrell Owens, Ryan Leaf, Michael Vick, Jamarcus Russell and the list goes on.  The results on the field with AW aren't good enough for me to get hyped up about him with the "drama" his "camp" brings.  If he came to USF would I support him?  Yeah, I've supported all Bulls as an alumni should, but I'd be more shocked if he made it to graduation than I would if he ended up off the team in less than 2 years for whatever.

Adults deemed too immature to handle alcohol.

Yet mature enough to wage war. 

 

There it is. I was waiting for you to play the öld enough to wage war card". You may RXACTLY know how recruiting goes. I EXACTY know the recruiting process I know EXACTLY how the  military is populated, not many mature people it's pretty much a GIANT ball of testosterone. Not all 18yr old "ádults" are as mature and ready for life as you and your apparently quite elite set of friends.

I was a child at 18.  The light does not come on for another 20 years.

Yea, can there be any question that he is an upgrade over Cosh?  This hire is starting to grow on me.
