Turns out USF is number 54 on Scouts, tied with BYU.
We've got one 4-star recruit, but there is a 5-star considering us. He's a Florida boy, so we stand a chance.
Essentially, we get the left-overs from UF, FSU and Miami... but that is changing somewhat. We beat UM last year and FSU the year before and actually played UF tight for the first half until our 18 and 19 year olds folded in the Swamp. Plus we apparently have a slightly more... liberal academic acceptance policy.
Add in the fact that we play in the Big Least and stand a good shot at playing in a BCS game every year and we should get our fair share.![]()
Nice!
I feel your pain on getting leftovers from the big schools... but, we play Cal to start this next year, and we beat UCLA a few seasons back. We took USC to the wire in 2005, and I don't think we've ever played Stanford. So we have a decent trackrecord against the other California teams (plus SDSU and SJSU who have both been horrible lately). But we end up losing a ton of recruits to Pac-10(12) schools in general.
Good luck playing in a BCS game with TCU joining you guys after next season. They're a disgusting juggernaut... but then again, what goes up must come down, as Cincy proved this year.
