Re-Arming:  Alton Voss, Mr. Everything

[Justin Boza is cee]

voss will redshirt and any top recruit should not be worried about people ahead of them.  they should welcome the competition and realize that it will make them better by having that competition day in and day out in practice

They should, but the don't a lot of times.  Let's face it-- if a recruit has the opportunity to step in immediately and become the starter and there's not apparent danger in losing PT to someone already there, they're gonna take it.  As harsh as smazza sounds, we all have to accept this reality.  Think about it this way: you know you've got a good QB on your hands if recruits will shy away from your program for at least 2 years.  I think Voss would be more of a "sure thing" as far as a commitment if Julmiste was still our QB rather than Grothe.

Is this the same problem Miami had when they were cranking out one NFL QB after another?  No one good would go there?  Were they all four year starters?

I get what your saying Bulliever, but we're not Miami.

The main thing I have against Smazza's comments are what if Voss get's wind  of them.  Don't let him know there's anything else out there.

We aren't at the level of dominance that Miami was at, so you really can't compare the two.  Same goes for USC right now.  Would Tebow end up at UF if Chris Leak was a RS Freshman?

When you're the caliber of these programs with a proven system of getting your recruits into the NFL, then people will be lining up at your door, despite the fact that they'll only play 2 years.  When you're playing for a dominant program like UM of the 80's, FSU of the 90's, and USC of the 2000's, 2 years is all you need.  Our program isnt "cranking out one NFL QB after another", so you wont see recruits lining up at our doorstep.  Instead, you'll see a recruit off to other programs where they can see immediate playing time.

voss will not be comimg to usf to sit for 3 years

he is better of going to ftu/ou/oc where he has a chance to start all 4 years

you are such a moron....

why do you even call yourself a Bulls fan.

So tired of your crap.

[Bull Martin]

^^^^^

Agreed!

[E.T.]

It is not uncommon to see 2 Blue Chip QB's sign with the same team in the same year.

UT just a few years ago and ND this season probably.

Go BULLS !!!

[I Bleed Awesomeness]

my entire problem with smazza is that he contradicts himself so much in the garbage that he posts....if you take a look at the recruiting and prospects board, he bitches constantly on there about how CJL and usf never recruit quality players from the state of fl...then he basically tries to tell voss not to come here just because he most likely will redshirt and not play for a couple years.  smazza is a complete jackass who stirs up controversy just to stir it.  out of those 40,000 posts i could count on one hand the number of logical thoughts that have come across his peanut sized brain.

[Dmince]

If he redshirts next year he can still start two years.

[E.T.]

If he RS's ... he could compete his RS Freshmen year ... with GrothE and anouther prized QB recruit.

Expecting USF to turn the recruiting corner this season.

Go BULLS !!!
