So how did UCF do so far with their class w/out Frost? 

So far, they're doing better than us according to 247. Average rating:

UCF: 82.40

USF: 80.90

Like RPI, it's too early to compare rankings. Let's wait until the dust settles.

That said, until they divide the score by the number of players recruited, comparing classes of 29 with classes of 21 is an exercise in uselessness...

Only one LB? I'm worried about LB most, so while I like the class, I think we haven't filled our biggest hole...

According to Atterbury after the game, 3/5 OL starters are back, so this should be a strength for us. Glad to see we're backstopping, but it will take a year or two of weight gain and gymtime for the newcomers to be ready for college ball.

 

There are two LB's listed: Grier and Copeland, but you make a good point.

We had another who recently decommitted because he wanted to play RB instead.

Two other LB's who were not USF verbals, but thought we might land, went elsewhere.

So, we will likely sign at  least one more LB or one of our players listed at another position might be moved to LB when he gets here, depending on our need.

I'd like to point out that our commits have seen a drop in ratings since committing. USF was at 172.4 two days ago with the same commits. UCF's ratings havent changed.

I suspect a UCF fan or two working that site.

It's now back up to 172.75 and 82.61.

USF

• Total: 29
• 5: 0
• 4: 0
• 3: 25
• 82.61

172.75

 

BTW, UCF  has signed three from junior college and we have none. I remember a time when their fans mocked us for having to sign JUCO players.

Johnny Ford dropped tremendously after he signed. That is inexplicable, because ESPN has now rated him with three stars.

Also, our new punter has not been rated yet and is just assigned .7000 in the meantime and that drops our overall class rating.

Yes, and it will only get better in February.

It's so nice not having to worry about keeping the P5 vultures away from so many of our verbals.

IMO, the early signing period is good for USF.

 

Totally agree...Merry Christmas & thank you for your contributions on here...you always keep me in the know.

Completely wrong. USF 82.61. UCF 82.40

By the way, USF was over 83 until signing a punter with a rating of 70. That is the reason it dropped to 82.61 to begin with. Because they signed and unheralded punter with a low ranking.

We probably all owe a debt of gratitude to Mama and her lovely hubby HoweiP.  Both historic members of the 'Pen since the days before internet.
