If you ask me, that USF asked for it. Posting on their board inviting us to their conference. It'd be different if a Texas fan posted that USF was looking likely. That's like a Memphis fan coming on here with the preposterous notion that they were getting added...wait, nevermind... I belong to the USF 247 site and that guy, usfbull, is a joke. All his posts are rambling nonsense. It's embarrassing as to see him to go out there as a representative of USF with that stuff.

Believe me, I'd love to see it, I just don't think it's in the cards UNLESS something strange happens baseball-wise. He was at Manatee when our old coach (holtz) pulled some scholarships at Manatee..with the leavitt leaving USF Very unvavorable.. This realy needs to be fixed. . Offering him and lettling him develop in both sports is also in his best interest. He was offered and had no interest in coming to USF... ever...

He's ESPN's #1 DTQB so he is going to get a lot of coverage.

He has not visited USF yet but has visited FIU so that would lead me to believe he is going to FIU. Kids usually don't commit without visiting.

Hey Bill, you like stalking subscriber sites and then posting info on a player like you discovered them? You clearly got this kid's name from 247 then went and found info on him because this kids name was NEVER mentioned until yesterday and conveniently a thread on him appears today...

Bailey re-announced his top 13 after talking with his family and USF is still not mentioned... Ark, Auburn, Clemson, FSU, UGA, Mich, ND, Okla, USCe, Texas A&M, UCF, Vandy and WVU

Well, the top to sign out of HS is either Giddins or TRex. I think they were both around 10-12 at their positions. Price as #7 would be tops going by position rank.

Right but Blakely is much closer to his HS days then Scott is. When Scott was at CU there were many issues with his work ethic and playing shape. Not of that has come up with Blakely. I know it's not as easy as him coming in and being handed the top spot. I was merely referring to his abilities compared to the rest. I think he'd be the best back he have so the other guys would not really be of a concern.

The moment Blakely would step on campus he vaults to the top of the depth chart IMO. Just watch the Manatee vs. Plant game last year. He ran all over Plant and Wilder. Kids the real deal from what I've seen.

Good news is he seems to be announcing tomorrow which means something fell through with a school trying to get in last minute.

God I wish people would read threads before they go spouting off like this. It's been stated before but I'll say it again. Grady is a leader and a great athlete. He also has the respect of MANY recruits in the Tampa Bay area. Who do you think helped get Davis and Gonzalez here? Grady's impact will be felt on and off the field and goes way beyond stars.

Sounds like he is gone since his parents are partial towards USF. Ehhh, I know I should care, but I don't. Actually, his parents are not all that high on USF for some reason and this could be a good thing.

Clarke has been very high on USF for a while. There is a good possibility he comes back after JUCO.

Grady is a big deal. It may not show in his star rating but what he means for this class and for classes down the road. He is a smart kid and a leader. The Bay area kids have the utmost respect for Josh as they've played in 7-on-7 tourneys and summer leagues together for a while. He is also a gifted athlete that will succeed regardless of what position he plays. Plus like many others have said, he's just having some fun with all of this and that's his right. You may not like it but he is certainly allowed to do all this.

Iowa State does not have a med school however; the pre-med program is top notch. Many students take that route and get into elite med schools out of Iowa State. My brother took that route and is a very successful MD. Mr. Grady will have to complete an undergrad program before med school no matter where he choses to go. From what I have gathered he would have a shot at QB at Iowa State. He seems like a heck of a kid and whatever program he decides to attend will have a good kid to work with. BTW, we all loved Wally Burnham. I had a chance to speak with him in Charlotte during our bowl game. One of his sons still works at USF athletics. Do you know if he is the one recruiting Grady? I do understand that you have a fine pre med program, but USF offers a fast track to undergraduates becoming an MD through their med school. USF also lets undergraduates train and do research with the med school. The USF Honors program is also among the best. I'm sure Grady will make a wise decision for himself. I wish him all the best, whatever he decides. He is.
