@JohnnyHomeTeam: USF was once very close to offering FIU-commit and Gaither 2014 Alex McGough. Just throwing that out there.

Then there's this:

@BigCountyPreps1: Expect some activity from #usf towards another area top QB prospect since the recent decommit of Litton.

@BigCountyPreps1: “@HemUnit: @BigCountyPreps1 Any idea who?†I know exactly who

I hope this isn't our backup plan since losing Litton.

Not sure why he's not being recruited more.  He's got prototypical size.  Highlights look good, slightly above average arm strength but throws a good spiral at the right times.  Strong runner to boot.

Honestly McGough will probably end up being a better QB than Litton. He has no off field issues, no grade issues, listens to his coaches and has a good grasp on the mental side of the game. We'd be very lucky to flip him.

USF had been in contact with him all along but never made an offer.  His dad had told me a while back that he would love for him to be at USF.  I have no clue if they have been in touch since the Litton decommit thing.

This would make the Litton de-commitment much more disappointing.

 

Really hoping for Tyler Harris.

Lots of ppl saying he's flying under the radar right now. Ill trust Coach T's judgement, whomever he decides to take on.

Mike White was a 2* QB up until like 2 weeks before he signed with us. Stars don't mean everything.

I do find it mildly amusing that some are irked that Chase decommitted, then some want McGough to decommit from FIU. Can't have it both ways...especially since we have several players we "poached".

 

Not sure why this guy isn't ranked by Scout, but ESPN has him as a 3 Star...75 (v 78 v Litton).

As stated in the other thread... Mny people aren't irked that he decommited, but how he reportedly decommited.
