Seems to me that the bulls get better recruits from outside of Tampa area which brings a good question. Wonder why the bulls are struggling with local schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not lose recruits to mid level power 5 conference schools though, that's the fight that we need to win most. The big boys will always get theirs, it's who's left after that's most important for USF, at this point in our program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the quantity of that quality. We're never going to make a living beating Bama, ohio state etc for players. But we can beat out wvu, nc state and that mid level. Unfortunately we've not been doing that enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited for such a big class. Hope we can pull 31 good ones, the more of Coach T's guys we get in here, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we've never won a conference championship, we're not known for sending O-lineman to the NFL, we are still relatively new and don't have tradition like FSU, Michigan, etc, and believe it or not but when these kids parents were in college they probably grew up FSU UF and UM fans since USF didn't have a team while they were young. It'll take time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can't recruit if you don't win championships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
