Dang. I tweeted after Ingram committed that he's going to have a chip on his shoulder at the next level (cause he didn't get the USF offer) but DANG - I didn't know he felt THAT strong that he had to go public about it.

Does it really take that much for kids to Tweet these days?

You know, I kinda like that some kids are upset about not getting USF offers.

 

It means we're finally able to be a little more choosy in our player selection.

 

This is a good thing, if done right.

He's young. I think his feelings are normal for kids at his age and in  his situation. Unless I know the full story and the interactions he had with the coaches, I'm not going to blame him.

Best of luck to you Derrick.  

The feeling is not mutual:

Ingram has made it no secret, he's coveted an offer from his hometown USF Bulls, but they never pulled the trigger. He said even if they do now, he's staying put with his choice.

"Honestly, even if they offer, I would probably shoot them down because I feel disrespected," Ingram said. "Everything they've asked me to do, I've done it, so I guess I'm not the person they want. I would rather play against them right now."

 

I don't blame him for being upset and feeling slighted, especially as he watched a lot of his pals load a bus he wanted to board.  He'll learn that we only have so many schollies to give out, and Taggart & co have to target areas of need with the best talent we can get.  This is a great problem for us to have.

  • Quotes

    "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."

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
