Skip can go down there and tell "Harry High School" how its gonna be and we will be able to recruit manatee kids whenever the hell we fell like it. . . . . to prohibit USF from offering a free education to one of his players is evidence that Coach kinnan is a self aggrandizing piece of violation.Put another way, his veiled threats are pointless. . . . . . . We're USF and within 5 years we'll be numero uno inwith HS players in SW FL. I know, Skip knows it and even Kinnan knows it.I love the optimism but it just isn't based in reality. As messed up as it sounds coaches all over the country control recruiting. Its an ego thing for sure and they push or deny kids to certain schools. Being on that ban list is a bad place to be.And unless something major happens UF will remain #1 with all the top talent for the foreseeable future and HS coaches especially love to say they sent kids to UF.

I also heard that he planned on taking it again this week. If either of those things are true, then it stands to reason that he wasn't comfortable with his academic situation for admission to a university.We had some problems a couple of years ago where the academic committee advised Leaviitt very late that some verbals would not be accepted and it didn't give the players sufficient time to make other college plans before signing day. One of them in particular is current verbal Justin Green. He wasn't allowed to sign with us and he tried to correct the academic concerns of USF before that summer, but still wasn't accepted and he ended up going the JUCO route.

He put it inside the T-Rex to USF thread but as far as I knew we were off the radar for him. Could be an interesting development and might make us forget this situation, lol.

Could be an interesting development and might make us forget this situation, lol.Oh, interesting.His dad played basketball for USF and still works for USF in some capacity.Maybe the BB game last night got him and his son all hyped up about going to USF. ;DWe were recruiting im originally as a QB but would have loved to have him as a WR, if that's what he wants to do. Either way, he's more than welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(so to speak)Yes if we got Christian Green, it would be a grand slam commit even more out of left field than the Mitchell commit, IMO. All signs pointed to him going to FSU, Georgia and maybe even Florida. I try not to get my hopes up but I will be paying attention to those forums for the next few days to see what the coach has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other recruits who have standing offers but have not made decisions will be re-evaluated."From all people I can't believe he pulled Carnes' offer. I'm waiting for more details of what exactly happened, but this is not looking good right now!Well BJ is going to be here awhile so we are saving this guy from transferring in a year.he probly would have taken a RS and been our QB as a RS JR/SRKinda find it hard to believe 4 star recruits ride the bench for 3 years. Sorry to see him go but not Earth shattering at the moment.And there are plenty of 4-star recruits that don't pan out....Carlton Hill ring a bell?

I'm sure he held great sway over many of the other powerful beasts.

Ill let Rex tell you himself. He's a bright young man and evaluated the situation to a T. The Noles did a great job recruiting him. USF was just a step ahead. I'll create a video and post it on youtube and let Rex tell you himself. He is a Bull and is happy with his decision.The thing is, if USF can keep bringing in home town playmakers like Giddins, Lamar and Rex, I think they have a chance to be a great program. « Last Edit: Today at 06:29:33 PM by BCP » Logged --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jackson@bigcountypreps.comhttp://twitter.com/TampaBCPhttp://www.youtube.com/BigCountyPrepsBCP The Bay's Best Sports Forum BCP BCP The Bay's Best Sports ForumAdministratorAlumnus OfflinePosts: 4607 Re: REX to USF « Reply #17 on: Today at 06:31:35 PM » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Quote from: Dragons on Today at 01:57:21 PMhow has this not been picked up by rivals or scout yet... he is a top notch recruitTry now.
