Wow - our last draft pick was in 2018.  That speaks volumes about how bad the recruiting and player development was under CCS and CJS

Now now... Jimmy Horne and Xavier Weaver are going to be drafted for sure.  Spencer Schrader and Dwayne Boyles might.

I thought Dwayne Boyles was done after last year? He played for another college last year  or did he sign with some nfl practice team/minor league football deal? Do you think  Prime would allow Weaver and Horne to claim usf over prime university?

It wasn't about claiming USF over their current team.  The original statement was about how bad the recruiting and player development was under CCS and CJS.  He just gave examples of talent from those recruiting classes that will get drafted.

I stick by my statement regarding recruiting and player development 

Yes - Weaver, Horn and Boyles were all recruited to USF.  For whatever reason, they all felt that their path to the next level was better somewhere else.  Some (not all) of that decision was invariably based upon the player development that was happening at USF at the time

I counter to say this: the fact that Horne, Weaver, and Boyles left for greener pastures shows that CCS/CJS could recruit NFL-caliber talent and develop them enough so they had the opportunity to transfer.

If CCS and CJS (and their respective staffs) were that bad, none of their recruits would A) transfer to schools with better opportunities to showcase their talent ... or B) be considered draftable.

USF is not going to recruit more than a handful of potential NFL-caliber players under the best of conditions... heck, getting one per class would be outstanding in the AAC.

I think the terrible game management, terrible game planning, and all the losses have jaded you.

    "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."
