Our last OL verbal is Ethan Watson. He has shutdown his recruitment and is only going to  take an official visit to USF on 1/12. He just wants to sign in Feb and looks  to be a solid USF commit:

3-star OT Ethan Watson Shuts Down His Recruitment
Recruiting is now an afterthought for Ethan Watson, the 98th-ranked offensive tackle on 247Sports.

Corey Bender - Dec 18, 2:04 PM

.."I’m going to USF Jan. 12," Watson said when asked about his official visit plans. "I’ve thought about (visiting other schools), but USF is where I want to go and nowhere else, so that’s all I’m taking."

Watson, a three-star prospect from Pensacola (Fla.) Catholic, says staying put in the Sunshine State to suit up in front of family and friends was a priority in his recruitment.

Yes, he's announcing tomorrow at noon. I posted about that in his thread earlier today.

 

This would be awesome if he signs. I have a great feeling about this class. With 20 players graduation we will be going deep and playing a lot of young players.

Taggart was a great recruiter for us. I didn't really hear anything about how coach Strong be be that much better than Taggart. I expected a team ranking from 40-50, just like where we were with Taggart.

Taggart was great but besides the 2014 class he was in the 50's the other years. Granted he was also recruiting a lower quantity. Imagine how Taggart or Strong would have done with a new football only facility to take recruits to here? 

At the end of the day the G5 ceiling is going to be the high 30's no matter who it is. The only way you can start pushing that ranking into the high 20's is by consistently having winning seasons, consistently putting players into the NFL, and investing in football infrastructure (IPF, football only facility,..etc) with an emphasis on the latter. Seems like this generation of players likes shiny new toys to play with.

Looks like we've been trending towards that the last few seasons. Hope we can keep it going.

I just met his family at Publix in St Petersburg. They were dressed in Bulls gear and buying things for a party. Nice people.
