bold of you to assume I was talking about them. here, let me put it in larger text so you dont miss the two I am looking forward to:

Donovan Jennings & Daquan Evans

 

Bulls through and through.  We need more Bulls until they die types. Evans scared us for a moment but realized he could be apart of something special.

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.

Couldn't agree more pertaining to those three examples. Player development was a minuscule, if any, part of their reasons to transfer. If you want to criticize for lack of player development, look at the ones who transferred out to a lower level of football and had success like the qb's Oladukon and McCloud ...

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?

Boyles ran out of eligibility. He didnt get drafted by the XFL

Byrum has a chance to make it to the league. Of course he will be getting drafted from another school if he does.

If he has a big year again next year, he could leave and get drafted as a Bull.  It is unlikely  without some big upsets, making the playoffs, but possible still.
