Below is a list of our current roster sorted based on their eligibility status when they arrived at USF. Using the provided key please check for errors. There were some players like Royal or Gipson who I was not sure if they were a full-, partial-, or non-qualifiers. Based on my numbers:

Partial --  4

Non-qualifiers -- 4

JUCO -- 2

If these numbers checkout I think we can pretty much end the popular but untrue "USF Prop 48 Myth".

Why bother? People who want to believe such things about our school are going to continue to believe them, no matter what the facts are.

Thanks VG...

I put this together by furiously cutting and pasting for a few minutes and I missed on Hall.

Gary- I think it's important that we have a go to stat or link for this crap. As we have found out the media likes to haunt these message boards to glean insight or factoids to make them look good. For years, the "redneck media" keeps writing that we basically Marshall South, yet never cite any real stats.

IIRC, the only year where we had a signifcant number of transfers and a partials was our first year or two, when we were literally starting from scratch. Other than those years I don't we are any worse or any better than your average program.

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
