I wish all of the transfers the best of luck. I am not going to judge Grier and Weaver because I don't know what their personal circumstances were. I totally understand why some would take opportunities to play for bigger schools. It cannot have been easy on the players the last 3 years; losing while playing in front of almost empty stadiums. Our coaching  the last 4 years has been a real let down to both the fans and the players.  To me it will be up to Coach Golesh to sell the future of  USF football to the remaining players so we don't see any more significant defections.

I’m in the same boat. Wishing all well on their future endeavors. These kids need all the help they can get so if they see better opportunities they should take it if they want. This is America so I will respect their freedom to move on to other opportunities. Thank them for putting time & work for USF

So we can finally shelve "once a Bull, always a Bull" for the rest of eternity? It will now be "once a Bull, always a Bull until more NIL money". It will be hard to find people to put into the USF Athletics Hall of Fame with the direction college sports has taken.

It's going to come down to winning games and playing time. 

Not for many.

It depends on the cigar. It is a good point. People call the small so called cigars - cigarettes. I prefer the bigger cigars. Usually have one after USF wins on the football field. Unfortunately I have not had many cigars these past 6 years lol

It has been awhile to have a good victory cigar.

B/c in football you can get injured. Once you are injured, nobody gives a f**k about you. 

Was Weaver injured at the end of the season when he disappeared  from the line up? He was not listed in the injury report.

Thank you, we don’t need to trash them but don’t feel the need to celebrate any successes they have on the field playing for someone else.  It is kinda odd that someone will start a thread next year if Grier or Weaver have a good game, what is the point?  It is not like we are trying to relive some of the glory years, these past few years of USF football will be about as memorable as a smelly fart on a windy day.

I'm not sure, but I know it was the 2nd half of the season.

This is a quote from you " I will pass and simply remember him as a pretty good receiver on an awful team that had a bad case of the drops"....So since you think he dropped too many passes, be happy for the opportunity USF has to replace him with somebody better who will not drop passes as much.  Do you see how easy it is to be a glass half full type of guy?

Can’t really look at it that way. I always put USF first ahead of any coach or player. I’m not going to sit here and cry or complain if players or coaches leave USF for what they think are better fits or opportunities for them. As long as the rules allow I’m ok with it. Can’t take it too personal. Go Bulls!!

I feel the offense got better once Weaver was out for the season. We distributed the ball to more pass catchers and had a better running offense. So trust me when I say it doesn't affect me if he leaves this team. When it comes to USF, I only care about the present and the future.
