How about we use the money to pay our assistant coaches so they dont leave to go to other schools. It is bad when one of our top recruiters leaves for a school who wont be that good and will have sanctions brought against them. Pay the coaches and then worry about the other things.

Who cares about the **** stars?! I have seen plenty of five star recruits play like two stars in college and visa versa. These guys dont know anymore than the coaches. If CWT thinks he is a fit for this club and may become a dominant player, then I trust what his evaluation says more than some **** website.

I did this back in 2010, in a complete NCAA realignment. Waaaaaaaayyy too much time on my hands back then, LOL http://thebullspen.com/index.php?/gallery/image/63-realignment/ That link is not working, I was really looking forward to seeing what you drew up.

Do you guys think that USF will ever build their own football stadium? Something that is on campus that will help draw in recruits, or do you like playing at Raymond James?

USF should aim higher than Boise State. I see USF as a yearly NC contender when they get into a power 5 conference. The recruiting area, the tv market, and hopefully the improved records and play will allow us to get into the ACC or Big 12 during the next conference reallignment.

What chances do we have with Mackensie Alexander and Stacy Coley? If we were able to sign those two players this RC would be a top 25 class.

Have you ever seen the movie Necessary Roughness with Scott Bakula? We need to find a forty year old who was a top QB recruit in high school but did not go to school because he had to take over the family business after his father died. Come on Willie, get it done!

As of yesterday, he has us listed in his top five. I dont know much about him other than he is the top JUCO DE. Here is the story from ESPN. It appears like a decision from top junior college defensive end Marcus Hardison (Dodge City Community College) will come by the end of the work week. “I’m making my mind up Friday,†he said on his Twitter account. Coaches from all across the country are trying to make a final push for the 6-foot-4, 275-pound edge rusher, ranked No. 5 in the ESPN Junior College 100. “I know the head coach from West Virginia [Dana Holgorsen) was on our campus yesterday,†said new Dodge City head coach Gary Thomas, who is out recruiting in Wichita, Kan. “I know that Coach [bill] Snyder from Kansas State is flying in tomorrow. Texas Tech and Arizona State were here today or yesterday. That’s what my defensive coordinator told me.†Hardison said the top schools he is considering right now are Arizona State, Kansas State, West Virginia, Washington, South Florida and Auburn. He recently took an official visit to Kansas State, where the Wildcats really impressed him with their commitment to the juco ranks, and was really appreciative of the hour-long meeting he had with Snyder. “His message to me was basically telling me how great the people are in Manhattan and asking me what my goals were,†Hardison said. “Then we talked a little football. He told me a lot about the school. We really didn’t touch on football but more about life in general. It was a real cool experience. He is real cool. I like him a lot.†Thomas couldn’t give any insight into where he thought Hardison was leaning because the two have only met once since he was hired on Dec. 17. “I don’t know what direction he is leaning because he and I have not spoken only than to really just shake hands and say hello,†Thomas said. “And, to be honest, that was when I interviewed for the job. I know that he has a lot of action. But I am not [privy] to the decision he is making.†Hardison has also taken official visits to Texas Tech, Arizona State and West Virginia.

The Big 12 will want to have a stake in the Florida market eventually which will either get us invited to the Big 12 or into the ACC because FSU left for the Big 12. We will be included in the next round of reallignment. I am not worried at all. CWT will have this turned around and if he is successful on the recruiting trail we should become even more marketable. Have faith.

That Madden Curse was exorcised this year by Megtron! We dont have to worry about that anymore.

I think Florida State moves to the Big 12 or possibly even the Big 10, which will leave a giant hole in the ACC to fill and will probably be USF's to take based on geography and money potential. Eventually the ACC will become what the Big East has become, a conference that the big boys pillage from. It may be ten or twenty years but there will be only four big conferences (Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and the Pac 10).

Whether we get this kid or not, I think there is an ace up CWT sleeve and he gets a huge recruiting coup on signing day. A program changer. He might not resemble one right away but he will by the end of next season. I am, however, a Detroit Lions fan and the eternal optimist, so I have been wrong before. Just have faith. I cant wait to see what this staff can do with a full year on the recruiting trail.

How many years of eligibilty does he have left? Also, I have never heard of him, would he be the starter from day 1 if he does not have to sit out a year?

This guy's heard of us .... Let me re-phrase, I thought I was the only person in Indiana, who is not a player or coach, that has heard of the Bulls. BTW, was anyone that post on here at the Ball State game last year?

Just this past weekend I was at my daughter's basketball game in Portland, Indiana and saw a kid and his father wearing USF sweatshirts. I talked to the kid for a minute and he said they just moved up there from Tampa on Jan. 1. He said his sister was a cheerleader there last year but is now in the School of Pharmacy. I swear I thought I was the only one in Indiana who had heard of the Bulls.
