Dad, please tell Asiantii that there are plenty of Bulls fans out here that think Twitter is the Devil but we ARE following him .... from a discreet distance. And even though everybody does it, hopefully our fans are just following and not contacting ... this. I dont have my twitter anymore but I check his all the time lol

Shame.

It is and isn't important. The star ratings for any one individual player don't mean a whole lot. There are a lot of players out there and the rating services have more kids than they can truly invesigate and rate properly. So it usually ends up that many players get rated based on which popular schools are intereted in them, which skews the star ratings. But star ratings create a buzz. A buzz gets more players interested. Exposure like this adds to the buzz. In the end a program can gather momentum and land some players that are the first choice of the coaches instead of the second or third choice. Those little bumps start to add up, then you get some wins and pretty soon the whole perception of the program changes. It all sort of feeds itself and that is how you build a program. this. It means more off the field, than on the field.

SB Nation ********@sbnation Big Ten announces Penn State is ineligible for title game for 4 years and loses bowl revenue for 4 years ($13 mil).

lmao

I would love this. If this team has Florida speed + a Big10 OLine and DLine? HOLY ****

Why? Miami will get nothing close to what PSU just got. All they did was party and receive money. While against the rules, who gives a ****? Penn State allowed children to be molested ON CAMPUS and then covered it up. Hell, the NCAA may as well just let Miami walk.

lol holy **** they just got destroyed. They wont sue. They need to just sit back and take it. Their delusional fanbase will offset that 60 million dollars in a year, maybe two. The Big10 has the right to apply its own sanctions on the university if it so pleases. I dont think they will, unless PSU tries to fight this. Getting kicked out of the Big10 would be worse than anything the NCAA just hit them with. They should stfu and take it.

<3 <3 <3

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I would take a 10 win season with two BE losses but beating both FSU and Miami. Win against an ACC team in the Orange Bowl. Great write up though. Pretty much on the money. We need to just be consistent. Back to back games just once ffs. Never know what team will show up on any given Saturday.

awesome.

I can think of 5 other reasons.None of of them having to do with his dad. Sad that you can't. Believe me knowing what I know now, I would choose USF 10/10 times over UF. However, for a/an 17/18 yr old kid who is receiving offers from the programs in the country with 100000000000000000x more tradition and history, how could you blame them for taking the offer? The fact that he gave us the shout out in his top 5 is good enough for me. That is the loyalty right there. He owes us nothing more. Please give me 5 reasons why you would play football at USF over UF. No seriously, I'd love to hear them. As a cornerback recruit:Mike Jenkins Mistral Raymond Kayvon Webster USF girls A chance to play immediately with coach Skip Holtz, loved by all and son of a legend. Well, that was easy. 1.,2.,3.: Just because you dont know UF's DB names, doesnt mean they arent just as good. I doubt they know any of our DB names. 4. You arent comparing them to University of Idaho's girls. I love the girls at USF, but UF has plenty of bombshells. 5. CSH is great, but he is as accomplished as Will Muschamp. I agree, we would have the momentum right now, but the truth is, we dont. We didnt win those years. In that same time frame, UF won a National Championship. The history and tradition IS overblown, but for a 17/18 year old recruit who only knows what he sees on ESPN and from his visits to campus, that history and tradition carries INCREDIBLE weight. The coaches play that perfectly as well. You better believe they make that pitch to every single recruit. When you're a top100 recruit, there is almost an expectation to play at a USC, Notre Dame, FSU, Texas, Okla, etc. Historically, that is where those players have gone. USF isnt there yet. Not that many kids dream in green and gold(to quote the billboard seen in Tampa) yet. It is certainly improving every day, but the top100 players in the country for the most part, dream about winning national championships with the historically great programs. That is why these programs can go 2-10 and still have a top10 recruiting class. Our time will come. As for your point about Boise and UO, the history and tradition dont matter on the field, the best team will win the game at the end of the day. They have all the momentum right now because they are winning. USF had a top25 recruiting class according to ESPN in 2008, the year after we were ranked #2. So your point is made. However, I am referring to recruiting. We went 5-7 last year, 1-6 in the Big East. Florida, while having a pretty bad season by their standards, still made a bowl game and beat another storied program in OSU. I think VH3 would have had us higher is we had another 8+ win season with a bowl win against a BCS opponent. The truth is, we didnt....so he didnt.

Regardless, a huge congrats to AW. We are VERY excited and VERY grateful to have him repping our school. Hopefully he sticks around for a while.

doubt they will give it much air now that a BE boy has won. If this had been USC's recruit, this story would supercede the PSU issue.

this. Great for him. Id be amazed if he doesnt get bumped to 5 stars winning that.

lol wow you guys are crazy. First of all, there is nothing wrong with what VH3 is doing. He is going where HE wants to go. His dad shouldnt be recruiting him here anymore than Coach Holtz is. Second, UF is a better school than USF overall academically and athletically. We may have some advantages in specific categories and subjects, but overall we are a long way behind. Literally the ONLY reason a recruit would choose us over UF is relationship to coaches or if you just get that "at home" feeling. Otherwise, we have a huge disadvantage against UF.

NSD cant come soon enough. Still wont be able to breathe until that day comes.

Bulls

Soooooo. we're good?

I like the idea. It may help us with ESPN, which aside, from winning a NC, would be about the best thing that can happen to the conference. That or an SEC guy.

Everyone calm down.

lol well hopefully he put the interests of his son over his own. I just hope he doesnt end up at UF or Miami. The other 3 are fine. Would hate to see him to go an in-state school.
