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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josh newberg Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 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.Josh Newberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully we can land a MAN for the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josh newberg Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 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.Josh Newberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
