They tend to be fair and look at scouting and recruiting reports to make determinations prior to the season. It does make great summer reading as it has a page with every major team. I enjoyed reading the breakdown of each BEAST team last year prior ot the games with them. Plus it is easy to tell how we match up (based on preseason abilities). Plus it helps to get through the difficult period of time which is now when USF is winding down all sports, and summer TV sports suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
