He wasn't kidding (re: recruiting)

Obviously all these sites with scores and rankings are just guessing and it means nothing until you see them play on the field. I got my numbers from https://247sports.com/college/south-florida/Season/2023-Football/ClassCalculator/ adding in the expected/hoped recruits getting to 207.41, which would put us in the top 50, assuming nobody else improved too. 

It would be interesting to see scores netted out with portal losses, since this is the new reality of college football.

The class calculator is a cool application; I hadn't seen it before. I hope you are right, since in that case we should see a quick turn around.

The new OL commit, plus the two crystal balls (one a flip from Arizona State), give us three strong additions before signing day. Let's see if they land and let the dust settle. The coverage at 247 has been abysmal, they do not even have all of our recruits/transfers listed, much less graded and figured into our class rankings. Regardless, if those three sign with USF it will be a huge lift to the "rankings".

Grading a transfer portal player who was 3 or 4 star recruit in high school 3 years ago, but has barely played for 2 years and has been a 2nd or 3rd stringer is hard to do.

FIFY.

But still done on those websites for P5 transfers and certain schools such as SMZu, so they are included in their rankings

What are the chances of nobody else improving?

Remember that time we had the #1 transfer recruiting class in the nation last year?

Lol.

That’s definitely the obvious answer to the second part ….. but we’ve been told we sucked because CJS couldn’t coach, not players.
Reality is that CAG isn’t crushing anything in the way of recruiting at this point and trying to say he’s that much further ahead of CJS in that regard is a joke. Hopefully he gets there at some point …

And he's recruiting worse by rankings than xCCS and xCSH ever did.

We will not win football games unless he fixes the defense. End of story.

I see lots of TE, QB, and OL commits. Remains to be seen if tomorrow is any different.
