Aren't we still running around our average of 50ish ranked classes like we typically are? Or are we just happy with being at that level?

Because the school could easily move on from that recruit. It is easy for the recruit to gamble and lose that a spot will still be available. Now that USF has filled like 18 spots or whatever, they can be really choosy for the last 8-10 spots. They could say they no longer have a spot for recruit "X". Decommitting goes both ways. This IS the new signing day. If a recruit doesn't sign during THIS period, then they weren't committed. End of story. Now maybe their gamble will pay off. For higher level recruits, it absolutely will. A spot will always be found for them. But for any borderline recruits that don't sign, then it's so sad, too bad, when a spot is no longer available because they failed to sign on signing day. I am betting we see another flurry of signings tomorrow as recruits consider that the signing window is closing and may not get another opportunity.

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. Honestly, i think taggart is a better recruiter from what I can tell. However, Charlie is more nationally know as a great recruiter, so I was waiting for the bump. Back to back 9+ win seasons and a year under his belt I would hope we could land a class in the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taggart is a better recruiter than Strong. That said, Charlie is also a good recruiter and will have USF in the 40's nationally (which is a great class for teams in the AAC).

It is called reality...we are not a P5 program plan and simple. No school is better than their conference when it comes to recruiting (although a team can be worse). We are having a great recruiting year...try to enjoy it... Edited December 22, 2017 by NewEnglandBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very important signing of another OL who a lot of schools were after. Now, we don't have to worry about that happening. He had offers from a number of P5 teams, including Kentucky. Rated high 3 stars at .8485 We've signed almost all of our highest rated commits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://247sports.com/college/south-florida/Article/3-star-USF-OT-Commit-Ethan-Watson-Shuts-Down-His-Recruitment-112430397 Edited December 22, 2017 by Mama_Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
