It's a good day for a 3 win team last year...it is a bad day based on where we want to be long term.

Exactly... I think we win a few more battles next year with a winning team and a year of recruiting and building relationships... CWT is going to bring in some great young men. The potential is there now, we have to see if he can win

Derek Dooley's criteria for a successful recruiting class

20% Game Changers/High Impact

25% Bona fide starters

30% core role players/special teams

25% busts

Too logical... I prefer guessing

#USF Willie Taggart just hinted to us on @987TheFan that there might a surprise on the horizon. #NationalSigningDay

 

I assume said surpise didn't pan out?  Would love if there was still something in the works.

Winning solves all. I'm impressed with what Coach T put together in 6 weeks with a 3-9 previous year.

Very interesting discussion on social media and recruiting. And how schools have to be active on Twitter and monitor potential recruits.

This was the dream back in the 90s, when we wanted USF football. It's so cool to see it realized. (Local players dream of play football for USF.)

 

"...one of the bay area’s most coveted prospects and wind up signing with USF, his dream school?  But that's exactly how things happened for Love, the headliner among a large contingent of Countryside seniors who signed their letters of intent in the school’s media room.

 

    "It’s crazy to think about how far I’ve come,†Love said. “I feel too blessed to be where I’m at. But this is just one step toward bigger
things.â€

Love, the Times' 2011 Pinellas County defensive player of the year, dominated in the trenches, recording a combined 23 sacks the past
two seasons.  But it wasn’t until last month when he started to get recruited by USF, the school he hoped to play with all along.

 

"I’ve always had USF gear and they’ve been at the top of the list,†Love said. “It’s just amazing how fast everything went with the
process.â€

Some kids actually DO dream of growing up to be Bulls.

 

Lovin it!

ESPNU talking about how hard it is when you move up to a better conference or in Rutgers case, better AND more stable conference.
