this is huge, beating auburn for recruits is great

Glad to hear kids are this interested in us already! Hope they play well their senior year and keep their verbal to us.

yea this is a nice little way to gauge our recruiting - the big boys start getting commits way early, like the day after signing day, whereas we traditionally get all the late commits.  the quality of commits this early on tells me we are getting to where we want to be.

Nice early pickup from a very good HS football program.

I hope we can also land his teammate WR  Duron Carter who lists us among his favorites.

No way does Chris Carter let his son come to USF.  Carter was an OSU guy and Duron should have lots of offers from "big" programs.

Awesome, usually we dont get our first verbals to around June or so.

I heard the same thing about Jessie Hester, but he signed with USF.

I bet we got a good shot at Eric McGriff, Fred McGriff's son.
