I guess that is 2005 info...

are we after any of these players?

[bulls96go]

a few look good

but i leave that to JL and S. Bien

[smazza]

they have to perform on the field

raitngs,numbers and hype mean very little when it is 4th and one on the goal line

than- it is all heart

[Guest S.  Bien]

Bad early list to start with.  Too many omissions.  With USF its to early to gauge the interest.  I can say that Owens, and Atkins are giving us outside consideration at this point.

Next year's class will probably be smaller, definitely in the 15-18 range after adding all the blue shirts that will stack up.  

The two key components for our recruiting will be Carl Franks, and Lawrence Dawsey.  Watch as more top players talk to us, and we will get our big time signal caller next recruiting class with Carl Franks at the helm.

I also believe Lawrence Dawsey will have a profound effect on recruiting.  I remember D hanging with the Bucs in the early 90's, now after talking with him as a coach I believe his energy and interest will translate well with the recruits.  He will land a top recruit as well.  Heck anything is better than Pajic.
