I know its early, but I'm kinda worried right now looking through Scout.com's list of USF's prospects.  They don't have any 3/4/5 star offensive lineman listed as either being recruited or interested.  Again, I know its early and by no means is Scout.com a complete list of USF's recruitment, but still?  USF has the speed to match up with any team in the country, but what it lacks is the size and strength to play with the Top schools, and this is especially evident in both our OL & DL in the big games.  And with the graduation of 3 interior offensive lineman, and quite a few starting defensive lineman, I am starting to get a little worried.  We can bring in the best QBs, RBs, and WRs all we want, but if we don't have top notch big guys, we are gonna have problems.

I wouldnt worry too much about the rankings.  USF will bring in a few kids this year, most of them will be kids who flew under the radar.  They are very close on two right now, they are not big names but they will be very good players.

Another is rangy offensive tackle Jeff Ide (6-6/255) of Bradenton Manatee, one of three all-district blockers coached by Joe Kinnan, one of the state's coaching legends.

Bill Buchalter can be reached at bbuchalter@orlandosentinel.com.

Is Ide one ?

Ide would be the perfect name for a college basketball player...

I think we've done "fine" ... just tough catching up and getting depth.

I think our O-Line will be as good in 2006, but maybe not depth wise ... we'll see how everyone does in the Spring. And hopefully we can land a MAN for the middle.

USF just got in the race for a great center from Tally, I did a story on him last week, Kevin McCaskill.  About two weeks ago I would have told you its a long shot, now I feel pretty good about him.

Does any one know if there are any possible JC transfers to fill our need at center and guard and make an impact for next year that we could land?
