Coach O is doing what he can to make USF an option for their own backyard players again. Guys like Bacon, Sanders, and many more local talent really pushed USF down the list while Heath continued coaching here. It wasn't going to be pretty if he had stayed on. Coach O has to make USF an option for their own local talent again which is why guys like Chucky Atkins and others spoke out when the new coach was hired. They preach about the danw of a new day and the right person is now here in charge. They basically threw the previous coach and his staff under the bus because they were not hard recruiting the local talent. Losing Andy Hipsher hurt with that as he was the only coach that seem to connect a little with the local coaches and players. Oliver Antigua was passionate about how the and he new coaches would not neglect the local guys and will indeed recruit Florida hard.

 

 

We are underdogs with just about all the good Florida talent but that can change over the course of the next 7 to 8 months. It has to.

Dwayne Bacon has played his way into a 5* prospect this summer. Like Sanders he is close to narrowing down list of schools very soon. Louisville, Florida State, South Florida, Tennessee and UCLA, and UNLV are but many schools that would like to have him.

 

Coach O has definitely closed the gap on Bacon as he was not all that into USF. A Bacon and Sanders backcourt for the 2015 class would be outstanding.

That just means that Bacon would be outstanding in ANY sense of the word.

2015 guard Dwayne Bacon is down to SMU, Oklahoma State, Auburn, Florida St, South Florida, USC, Tennessee, Georgetown, UNLV & Georgia Tech.


@BaconDwayne1000  Show him love Bulls fans as this is the best player that USF has ever had a chance to sign. Auburn and Vol fans are already showing him love, don't be left out. Dwayne Bacon makes USF an instant Nationally respected basketball program. Also getting him certainly helps with signing his best friend and PG Corey Sanders who has USF in his top 5. Need to finally keep some talent home in basketball which has been a major problem and the main reason why the program has been weak far so long.

If he makes his choice because of twitter fan followers and comments, then that's just sad.

I'm sure Coach O is doing his best too bring both him and sanders on board

Yes because fan support has never helped land a recruit anywhere ever lol. He's a great player, I'm excited for our school, why not make some noise?

Hem, you need to get with the times. Twitter support is more important than weather and beaches are in our recruiting pitch.

I'm not going to do it, because that's not me, but what can it hurt?
