usf is far from being a player when one exams this list

[Bulls 8_va]

USF is also far from having the history and longevity in the activity than all the schools you mention have.  Why do you always have to point out the obvious smazz???  We know that schools with 100+ years of history recruit better than us...they should.  But eventually - very soon - we will be there.  lol

We are very anxious...that is all.  Deal with it.

GO BULLS!!!

Many of those teams have many more verbals ALREADY evaluated.

Rivals has EVALUATED only 8 USF verbals and 6 of them are in the top 50 at their positions.

Pull my finger, smazza.

[___ Eats It]

Tampa, Florida on the corner of Fowler and 30th st.

Any other questions, Smazz?

[Rizman]

Smazza, I count 11 that have committed not yet signed.  For USF that is amazing and says we are moving in a positive direction.  Be positive for a change, hope for the best and except what you get.  Push USF as an alumni so that we can get to where one day people consider us in the same breath as UF, FSU, Georgia, and Ohio State in Football.  It takes time...

To me, I am thrilled, how many recruits did we have last year at this time?  Somebody

[SANJAY]

I think we had 4 at this time.  Check the recruiting board the 2008 class is pinned at the top.

[Mama_Bull]

I think Smazza got that list from the Rutgers Scout board and got him all in a tizzy.  ;D

Boston College 3

Cincinnati 3

Maryland 3

Miami (FL) 3

Nebraska 3

Oregon 3

Pittsburgh 3

South Florida 3

Virginia 3

Scout has only evaluated six USF verbals. Three of them are ranked in the top 50 at their position:

CB 26 Ricardo Dixon

SLB 36 Chase Griffiths

RB 47  Bradley Battles

RB 61  Adaris Bellamy

WR 61  James Green

QB 73  Victor Marc

Recruiting services vary quite a bit.

Dixon is a 4 star on Scout, but only 3 stars on Rivals.

Bellamy, Battles and Green are all 4 star recruits on Rivals, but only 3 stars on Scout.

While Chase Griffiths is both 3 stars on Rivals and Scout. he's in the Scout top 50 at his position, but not in Rivals.

Players move up and down in the rankings both in stars and within their position throughout their senior year, so where they are now will most likely change.

Besides, I thought that Smazza has always said to tell him about where we stand after they SIGN, so maybe he should just stop reading this stuff and save himself some grief.

Thos numbers are misleading - several teams on that list have been non-factors over the past few years (who more so than Notre Dame and Florida State?)
