I'm sure the staff is on top of this and if there comes a fish or cut bait time, they'll react accordingly .... The kid's not getting very good advice from those closest to him. Honesty is not always the best policy.

This, when/if another recruit they like as much decides to commit they'll tell Mr Fraser there is no longer an offer. Until then, the kid likes USF and may not get a better offer himself so the dance continues.

I hope to hell that recruits and potential recruits don't read this board and get exposed to juvenile ******** like this. I seriously doubt he was "using" USF. The kid made a mistake and committed too

D*mn, someone got their panties all rolled up in a bunch. I stand by all of my original comments, all were accurate., I'm sick of all the dismissive talk about USF, especially by the "juveniles" here

Some of you guys need to remember how recruiting works. We have had kids who turned out to be GREAT BULLS who initially talked down the university and program. We have kids who turned out to be GREAT

Well, at least among his 15 offers so far he has chosen us. I honestly don't see the carrot on the end of the stick that many of these players do. It appears they have this idea that the SEC will yield an NFL contract by default and that just isn't the case. I can understand however choosing one of the top SEC schools for the likely hood of competing for a national championship, I would agree it is higher at one of the top two SEC schools, but aside from that your chances are as good at many other schools in the other established conferences. Look what Oky State did last year for example, they came very close and performed a lot better than most of the SEC in a very difficult BigXII conference. Every player wants to maximize their success by making the best choice on NSD and the SEC for some reason seems to have these kids thinking SEC = maximum future success. I can understand that receiving offers from SEC schools may be considered the highest accomplishment possible for a high school player, but that doesn't neccessitate attending an SEC school, and attending an SEC school doesn't guarantee a maximally successful college or future NFL career. I think the opportunity to play in the SEC should be viewed more as reflection of a successful high school career than as some sort of miracle conference that increases the likelihood of future success. Schools should be chosen as a whole package in terms of the coaching staff, the needs of the team, education, atmosphere, location and just overal chemistry. That said the SEC has many schools that can be a great choice for those reasons but I think the conference affiliation is way too high on the importance list for some of these recruits. My belief is that it is mostly an ego driven priority, to be able to say "I play(ed) in the SEC." means they have made it, at least in this point in their life, but moving into the future that mere fact alone is meaningless for the most part. It's like owning a Ferrari, in some ways, a statement that one is accomplished, but really owning a Ferrari instead of a civic or even let's say a lesser sports car like a BMW M3 doesn't make you automatically more successful (except maybe on the race track... Does my analogy break down here? I hope you understand what I mean in terms of an ego driven expression of accomplishment however).
