This reporter has no idea what he is talking about. USF is a big, D-I school but every means of the definition. If they had said something like "powerhouse" that would be completely different. Also, I would argue that Dyer has a better chance to "replicate and duplicate" at USF due to Taggert's proven record of a dominant run game.
Plus, if I'm not mistaken, the article that line references is from July 7 which is before Dyer even visited USF. If he had already picked his school, why would he visit USF?
