It's funny how the guys named in this thread as being standouts are undersized. Hmm.   I alao don't see any 4 or 5 stars among our recruits. I recall people predicting CCS to bring in said 4

Yeah, I’m going to worry most about average recruit ranking, not getting 100 2* recruits. All that shows me is that Memphis is out-recruiting us...

This.

Worth noting, we have been able to reel in medium to high 3 star talent on average since I've been following USF recruiting (not many 2 star and even fewer 4-5 stars). Remarkably consistent but not spectacular, despite the coaching changes and renowned recruiting HC's coming in.

The occasional 4 star has come through, but mainly during Leavitt days (Todd Chandler, Terrance Mitchell, Ryne Gidden) and D'vario Montgomrey during, gasp, Holtz. The highest rated was Giddens as a high 4 star. The only 5 stars we have gotten have been through transfers - Barnett, Ford, Scott. JPP was a 4 star JUCO.

In fact, we haven't signed one consensus 4 star since then Mitchell/Chandler, unless Saloman was consensus?

If only we were able to look back at things on the internet to see if this was true...

Internet history does exist! I just looked back at Mack and Flowers.

Mack's rating was stable between being uncommitted and signing with us.

Flowers's rating took quite a hit between being uncommitted and committed. The Spring before committing to us, Flowers had a 247 composite of .9388. His final composite score was .889.

Flowers had a huge swing but I can't see when that swing occurred. I've seen us recruit players who have committed elsewhere and had their rating go from the default no rating to high 3-star on the day of commitment.

If I remember correctly, QF's rating started as an ATH and when they switched him to QB, his rating dropped considerably.

Mack actually improved the entire time.

I remember Mack being a four star when committed to UCLA. Now whether that was as a DB or a RB I am not sure.

He went up 52 spots in the overall ranking just after committing to USF on 1/24/14.

https://www.bruinsnation.com/2013/11/2/5059234/ucla-football-bruins-get-an-interesting-commitment

And if he was a 4 star when he committed to UCLA, UCLA sure didn't know it.

ESPN had him as a 4 star when he committed to us.

Well, since he finished as a 3 star and his ranking only went up the entire time, I can't imagine how he'd have been a 4 star somewhere in there.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
