Saw on another thread something about a tweet saying JoJo Kemp coming back to visit - is it that weekend?

___________________________________

 

Aren't recruits only allowed 5 total visits?

According to the 247 site, he's already taken 3 visits with 2 more scheduled:

Kentucky on the 11th and Tenn on the 18th, so unless he cancels one and comes here on an OV, the only way he would get a visit would be an unofficial

You are allowed 5 Official visits, which is where the school pays for everything.  You can take as many unofficials visits as you'd like i think. 

Thats awesome. Montgomery, Davis, and Dunkley, along with Price at TE is ridiculous.

****, that doesn't sound good. Hopefully he makes his decision this upcoming week so this never ending story will be over. Thanks for the update.

If it doesn't look good then I would prefer he doesn't decide in the upcoming week. Give him some time to rethink his decision and come to Tampa.

More Teddy Tedbits.

@Vic_Garcia FYI, I asked Teddy Bridgewater's mom if her son was visiting #UM this weekend she responded via text "No."

QB Teddy Bridgewater is no longer traveling to LSU this weekend for an official visit.

I hear Teddy Bridgewater's visit to USF was quiet and laid back, just how Teddy is, went well and he'll decide in a week

Thanks. I'll hope for the best. An elite quarterback would definitely make USF a contender. We have the defense and running backs. Just need a solid quarterback and some WRs.

if 6 spots higher on a national level is much more highly regarded then i guess I agree. BJ daniels was a 4 star. he was timed faster and rated the 5th strongest arm in his class just behind pryor from ohio state.

do you know what kind of decisions bridgewater makes? how accurate he is? I believe he has to learn a new system (one that is not designed to take advantage of his running abilities) as well.

I can't believe it sounds like you're arguing against having Bridgewater in this recruiting class. You've never seen him play, so you don't know if he is a good passer or not (sounds like he's better than average). Across the board, it seems as though he is a much better (higher) recruit than BJ, Carnes or Grothe ever were. Yes, Carnes and BJ were 4-star recruits on Rivals, but they both had average rankings at best on Scout and ESPN. Bridgewater is ranked 4 and 5 stars on every recruiting webpage. This guy is special, if he wasn't, Holtz wouldn't have invited him on campus for an OV. Holtz knows what's up.

when did i say we shouldn't sign him? perhaps he is the next great QB. perhaps not.

on this board the backup qb is always better than the starter and the next recruit is always our savior. it's laughable.we go through this every year .

how many were excited when we signed the #8 dual threat who ran the 40 in 4.55? he also had the 5th best rated arm strength in that class just below terrel pryor. now we can't wait to get rid of him.

it's fantastic if the guy is a dual threat but holtz's system is not designed for a running qb.

look at daniels numbers compared to last year. they are way off and it's because Holtz limits his running.

Or it could have something to do with the fact that he makes bad decisions, he's an inaccurate passer and he has to learn a new system. Besides that, you can't say that just because BJ Daniels isn't performing very well and he was labeled a "dual-threat" that every dual threat quarterback that we ever get is going to put up the same numbers a BJ. They are completely different players.  You act like BJ was this Blue Chip prospect. Teddy is much more highly regarded on the recruiting sites than BJ.

does he fit Holtz's offense? he's listed as a dual threat. I thought Holtz was trying to get away from that. doesn't seem like his offense would fit this kid's strength.

 

I bet Holtz and co. could figure out a way to use what could possibly the highest rated USF recruit ever.  Especially considering our extremely limited options at QB.

they didn't really figure out how to use the rivals #8 rated dual threat from 3 years ago(BJ Daniels) so i'm not sure the #2 rated this year is any better suited to their offense.

Ideally you want a dual threat QB because they are so dangerous when on the field. Holtz always had big mobile QB's with a pocket presence. If BJ was bigger and could stand in the pocket and deliver with accuracy while still being able to run like he does then we would be set at QB, but he can't so gotta find a QB who does both.

Pickney averaged less than 4 carries per game his last year with Holtz.

He averaged a total of 5.8 yards rushing per game.

that's not a dual threat. that's a QB that runs a few times on broken pass plays.

this kids game isn't suited for Holtz's offense. just like carnes last year.

Dual Threat doesn't mean you have to run all the time and because they don't doesn't mean they don't fit Holtz system! It's the threat of the athleticism the QB posses to take off whenever he needs to and gash the defense is what were talking about.

Everyone in the country knows Daniels can take off running gaining huge yards and even though he didn't do it much this year teams still have to game plan for it! Thats the point of a dual threat QB.

Holtz wants a dual threat QB, but also wants them to have the skills to stand in the pocket and deliver like a pro set QB. Bridgewater has this!

no he doesn't want a dual threat. he wants a pro set QB.

sure if he can get Cam Newton he's all over it but these "dual" threat QBs are listed this way because they are usually much better runners than they are passers.

that doesn't fit his system. Carnes last year was a highly rated dual threat. he was a terrible passer and that's why i think Holtz blew him off.

Where have you read that Bridgewater is a horrible passer? If he was a horrible passer he wouldn't be a 5-star; he would be rated similar to what Carnes was rated last year. The threat to run is helpful in any offense. Just because he is athletic, that doesn't mean that he cannot pass.

I have no idea what kind of passer he is. perhaps he is a great passer but generally the great passers are listed as pro style qbs.

Carnes was a rivals 4 star. same as bridgewater. carnes was rated #7 overall. bridgewater is rated #2.

like I said maybe he is the next cam newton. i have no idea. but I do know that holtz's system is not suited for a running qb.

BTW BJ Daniels was a 4 star rated the #8 dual threat the year he came out. he is not suited for Holtz's system at all.

I guess maybe you just don't appreciate the meaning of the word "dual" in the phrase "dual threat" If a quarterback can throw and also run a 4.5, they are going to list him as a dual threat quarterback because he can both throw and run. They won't label him a pro style quarterback if he can run a 4.5.

does he fit Holtz's offense? he's listed as a dual threat. I thought Holtz was trying to get away from that. doesn't seem like his offense would fit this kid's strength.

Is this new or had he planned a visit for along time ?  Coaching change have an impact ?

He decommitted after Shannon was fired. Visited Louisville and planned this trip to USF about a week ago. There is a thread on the recruiting board.

I read that he was hurt most of the 2008 season, I don't know how he did in 2009.

This is a serious question because Im very confused.

Where does UCF get off thinking that they have a great academic school?  I looked them up on usnews and they are a tier 3 school just like USF, and they have a higher acceptance rate than USF.  Where in the hell does UCF get off thinking that they are on par with Stanford?  I dont get it.
