The Great 8

Source?

Pretty sure they do not count toward 2010's class. They have 29 commits for 2011. Much like our early enrollees (e.g. Floyd) count toward THIS class.

The last time USF oversigned a class it was a top 25 class. When UCiF oversigns they get a #43 class. Nothing to be impressed about.

They have a larger class and their top may be ever so slightly better than ours but our lower end is much better than theirs.

At this point...who gives a f#ck.

Josh is making that comment to, or @, Matt. So, it's from him.

^ I guess he's referring to the 2012 QB that Holtz is checking. It's probably sarcasm, but an odd comment nonetheless.

Woah! I'm not sure how to take that comment. Is he referring to Matt? If so, it's sarcasm.

Amusing sequence there.

If he chooses us doesn't he have the desire to be at USF?

That's fine, but the OP said he was Lamar 2.0. I guess your statement serves to help refute that Hopkins isn't Lamar, but does nothing for Clarke.

+1 and we already have one of those in Hopkins. But that's not true though. Lamar and Hopkins are 5'9" and 5'8" respectively. Devin is 5'11" and is a legitimate WR unlike the other two. He has good hands and speed, had over 120 catches, 2,200 yards and 20+ TDs between his Sophomore and Junior years and was having another great season this year last I saw. We can safely assume that all measurements are inflated so he's probably about the same height as Lamar and Hopkins. Also, is being a legitmate, mediocre, WR worth more than being a more elite athlete converted to WR at the next level? Players are allowed to be converted and can even excel at it you know (i.e. Nate Allen). That said, I never said I didn't want him I just don't want a glut of tiny players that need 'open space' and don't provide much else. I trust the coaches will go after him if they think he's needed.

+1 and we already have one of those in Hopkins.

Stevie isn't someone we should have in our program anyway imo.

Why? The D line loses some talent but the LB and DB corps both probably upgrade with the level of experience the young guns now have.

I think Strong will be more loyal to UL than Skip will be to us. Lvile is the team that finally gave him a HC gig that he deserved.

smh strong is a master recruiter if he gets this kid, he's changed the perception of lousville from doormat to possible contender (apparently) in a single...6-6...season.

I get that BJ was the #8 dual threat quarterback in the country when we got him. Bridgewater is the #2 quaterback in the country according to Scout. Not dual threat, but QB overall. It's amazing the #2 guy overall in the country could be in our class and on our field. I don't believe BJ even cracked the top 20 as an overall quarterback prospect. To answer your question, yes he's in a different level than our previous QB recruits.

This kid isn't a dual threat in the same mold as BJ and Grothe; that is, legs first, arm second. He is more of a dual threat in the Eugene Smith of WVU. That is, ability to run, but accurate passer first.

This kid is a 5 star recruit on Scout. When was the last time we got a 5 star recruit out of HS? Never? Ryne was a 4 star if I'm not mistaken as was T-Rex.

We'd need to not honor some commitments if we managed to get Bridgewater and Chickillo to commit during their visits this weekend because the flood afterward would be epic. I hope we get at least one of em. Think we have a shot for both.

Honestly, if he's down on Miami now with Shannon gone we appear to be the best remaining fit for him. Teams like LSU and UL have already grabbed pretty spectacular QB recruits that he'd have to compete against, he would literally walk in here day 1 and be the starter.

He's gonna go to Louisville most likely. What an amazing coup that would be for them. He doesn't sound very high on Miami. He just twittered: " TBridgewater5 - why cant Miami get an on campus stadium?" Not something we can offer an alternative to though.

+1 Like really, because we have a 3 star QB in our recruiting class we should just quit looking at others that may be interested?
