Football [2016] - Xavier Gaines

Perhaps Taggart is holding on Gaines as a Plan B or C

I see what you did there..

I really want for USF to land him. The more tape that I watch on him the better he looks. To me he seems like a taller, maybe a little bit less body quinton flowers who has better throwing mechanics and puts more zip on the ball. He played some receiver in high school and he could make a ton of guys miss in open space. I know we already have Chris Oladokun commited, but man, this kid looks special.

Oladokun is taking an official visit to Iowa State. It would be Holtz-level-recruiting-of-Tyler-Cameron-only stupid, to not have Gaines in the fold as well.

Seems like he is a silent verbal type. Here's his twitter description: Keep God first! I sleep, eat and live Football! Patriots Fan! #USF is the move! GoBulls!

Bump... Any idea if he is still in the mix?

247 has him 40% to FSU and 30% to us...looks like pretty much everyone has offered him from Bama to Texas.  His Twitter doesn't have much, except he retweets everything CWT tweets.  So looks like it will be a nailbiter on NSD, but maybe.

If that happened, we'd have quite the stable of hosses at QB. I think I'd breathe easier at the position than I ever have before. We've always seemed to be an ACL tear away from disaster where other programs always seem to have studs waiting in line to take over.

I really doubt he goes to FSU, a couple months ago in an interview he said he had it down between us and Florida, and nothing new has really happened and i don't think that FSU is really in the mix, but they may have some inside info that we don't. 247 hasn't updated his crystal ball thing forever so i doubt it is accurate.

Can you imagine if Gaines and Oladokun both sign? Deepest set of QB's in our history, by far. Look at the disparity between CWT and CSH (and even CJL) with regards to QB recruiting. Amazing.

With his talent level it sounds more and more like a sign and place situation like Trevon Sands or Eric Mayes.
