Any nuggets of info on the IPF/football center at today's presser?

According to Scott, we are very close as they secured a 5M donation towards the center...

Ah man, really great guy from all accounts...sad to see

We need to hire Will Ferrell as our coach...

Mods you can move this but since this board is slowing down I figured what the hell...

Q - Why is it a small program like Gonzaga has made it big time and is now a giant in basketball and we can’t? They have 3 of the top ten recruits leaning to them next year and have been top 10 pretty consistently. Just this week they are on the cover of SI with a major story. MBB has been present at USF since I think 1971 and have nothing more than 3 ncaa tournaments and only achieved 2 wins in one and the other two first round exits. 
 

Answer?

 

My guess is every small or struggling program tries to emulate them...how many small programs exist?  Out of those programs, how many are like Gonzaga?

We need Elon to tweet out support for our IPF and we will have the money for that and a brand new stadium in two and half hours 

Both...

I'm interested to know how the Recruiting experts on this board (yes I said experts, and compared to me you all are) feel how we did today.  Did we do as expected, get some surprises, lose some that we shouldn't?

Genuinly interested in overall opinions, don't need full details of each player but overall?

Thanks for your input.

We pretty much had our class settled going into today...we were in need of landing a legitimate talented big back for the rotation...we missed out on a LSU transfer that went to Utah a week or two ago...however, we landed a 4 star rb out of Colorado Jaren Mangham 6'2 220...was on the Pac 12 all freshman team...we also landed another tall receiver from Baylor Yusef Terry that should compete right away...the only other unknown at this point was a talented safety that had a bunch of p5 offers Jordan Blackmon and signed his LOI today...all in all pretty pleased...

 .... and even though it was pretty much fake news from the beginning, one last piece of evidence that there was only one recognized national champion that year by the NCAA.

 

College football national champions from 1869 to 2019.

Year	Champion	Selecting Organization
2019	LSU	CFP
2018	Clemson	CFP
2017	Alabama	CFP

 

You can go on and on...the year the the Asterix was added for them...when you pull the record book before that year (I believe ND won the Colley the year they were destroyed by Bama in the actual championship game) the NCAA doesn't list it...because it was ridiculous...it appears someone pressured them into adding it...

Fairly confident he would have committed even if Heupel was still there ...... Good news for Kanigits, this probably means that Gabriel's not following him to UT.

By the way...the majority of schools offered him as a DB, not WR which is what UCF did...

He was a bad dude...still remember that hit in the Oklahoma game

Is there any chance they come back down to earth and we catch up? I hope they make some bad hires and have a long painful rebuilding process. 

Yes...they are on the decline now...they were about to take a giant duece...all of their solid talent has pretty much left and they have backed off recruiting in Florida...Gabriel might have kept them at 6 wins maybe 7...but they were absolutely on a downward trend...I hoped Huepel was going to stay through this season, because I could see the writing on the walk with them...

I think the ranking reflects more of what they do know about us than what they don’t know 

Isn't that how rankings tend to go?

This seems pretty fair...waaay to many unknowns at this point...

Well the good news is if they just shut it all down for 14 days then everybody should be over it.  And they are young and athletic so almost certainly will get though it just fine......Now the teams we play, we can't control that.

Not if only a couple of folks contracted it...contact tracing can shut the entire team down...I'm not saying this type of stoppage will happen again, but with the protocols in place it certainly can...

I am excited for next year’s match up of 2-9 USF and 6-5 UCF.

As long as we beat them...

Wins are trending down, next year they shouldnt be good and now a new AD will be in town.

Writing is on the wall for Heupel.

He is gone...they will tear it all down...their recruiting strategy has moved further and further out of Florida which has always been a death nail...not sure why any program that isn't a top tier p5 in Florida would not get the majority of the talent from Florida...just about all of the talent from Frost is gone as well...no bueno for them...

Heupel is next, right?

 

I have a friend of mine who attended UCF and, I know it’s anecdotal, he said that there are UCF fans that do not like Heupel at the helm.

I like being a doucher 
There’s a lady in my subdivision with a UCF front license plate and I give her the finger every time we pass each other.  No idea who she is 

I make sure my dog violation in the guys yard with the UCF yard flag...sometimes I'll sit there for a hour or two waiting for him to go...

I like Torello's USF coverage. He's got times where he likes to jab our fan base or the one in the Land of Make Believe. Personally, I think we need more local USF coverage.

It is like diving into the 10 cent bin with Torello...you have to sort through all of the nonsense to get to something useful...

Only way I can even make a way too early prediction is August as we get close the first game due to amount of turnover that has happened this offseason...
