Pessimism is the madness of insisting that all is crap when we can be happy by choice.

The love affair with all things pjl continues. There are those on this board that seem to have gotten an extreme case of Schadenfreude. pjl over USF perhaps?? I've said give Skip 4 years then try to compare him with pjl.

I think I usually have said this the past two years in our "mid-year slump", in the words of Rob Schneider from the "Water Boy" "Oh, No!, We Suck again!".

Exactly, anyone who didn't think this was going to be a rebuilding year was really fooling themselves.

Agreed. I am pleased to see the team playing with much more discipline. That, to me, is an indication that Skip can turn this around.

hahahaha

we need more talent

and we cant get that until next year

sit back and relax

You don't get better talent by tanking in the BE.  Whoever thinks that we don't have the talent to compete in the BE needs to get off the pipe.  Why are we rebuilding? and with two and three star recruits?  You people are precious  :

What is baffling to me is that we have most of our recruiting class together for next year, and there is only one WR commit right now; one who is either lowly rated or not rated at all at this point. We need to bring in atleast two highly rated WR's in the off season that can produce right away.

Also we need one more highly rated QB commit as well. Also missing right now are 4 star recruits (we had 2- 3 four star recruits at this point last year and even more the years before) or ESPN 150 players ( we had two last year). Recruit, recruit, recruit! Still time left to get some big names to commit and sign for USF on signing day.

We have maybe half our class for this year. You won't see a complete class (as theses guys could decommit too) until Feburary. Way too early to make a call on recruiting since its not even close to completion.

Historically USF doesn't start getting verbals from it's higher rated kids till January, there are some exceptions but for the most part January is where USF makes it's moves.  This is due to the reality of where we are in the college football and state hierarchy, below the elite programs and very good programs in conferences like the SEC for example.  As schools like Florida, Florida state, Miami, Auburn, Georgia, etc start to fill up and cool on some talented kids reality starts to set in with recruits and they start to focus more on realistic options, like USF.
