and therein lies the problem for usf since we joined d 1

 

 

The No. 1-ranked wide receiver and the No. 6 player overall in the ESPN Junior 300, Nate Craig, verbally committed to Auburn on Monday evening. The 6-foot-2, 202-pound wide receiver chose the Tigers over USC, Alabama and Ohio State.

The athletic junior-to-be from Tampa Catholic High School in Florida announced his decision via Twitter and later confirmed with ESPN.

This will happen until we build a good program.  This isn't stunning at all.  And, some kids want to go away for college.  I know I did.

That's not true at all. We didn't even offer him so it doesn't count.

Well, he didn't pick UF, FSU, or Miami either.  They must be crap also.

He is a 2016 commit for one. Someone go ask George Campbell how great Michigan is.

And secondly, until we win an NC or join a real conference, we won't sniff a 5 star kid. Even if he is local.

What I CAN say about this year, is that many recruits are waiting to commit until they see how we play. Many have us in their top 3 to top 5, but if we have a bad year again, these kids will go elsewhere. Had a 'crootin source give me some of that info today.

"but there's definitely not a whole lot of momentum on the recruiting trail IMO. It won't be as good as last year's class unless we do very well in 2014."

Chicken/Egg.  I think if we get the 3 star talent to start winning, the 4's will come to elevate.  Local 5s eventually.  But obviously 5 stars aren't going to ignore much better programs without some confidence we'll win.  It has to start with winning with the players we can get.
