Another look at USF Recruit Class

Just taking a quick minute to look again at the USF recruits that are coming in and how they will fit in with the players that are already on the roster. The offensive line will need depth and the size and athletic ability of the players coming in, such as Kaufman, will see playing time and will be key reserves in case of injury for the line, something that has happened far to often in the last few years for the Bulls and they have had to shift their lineup and players have had to step in and play.

The receiving core has plenty of play makers and the two big guys coming in along with Bogan, Griffin and Love, it should be a strong core of players and there are always some players that will come up from the depth chart to make key plays. Loosing Mitchell hurts the team speed overall but many of the receivers are physical and fast and should be able to make up for it. As long as they stay healthy and the new offensive system is learned quickly, all receivers could have a huge year.

The running back position is very, very interesting. It seems they have a ton of players, the new players like Powell and Hayes will have to share time with Ford, Samuels, Lamar. No one is sure how all the running backs will be able to play on the field and or even get a carry. We saw what Ford could do if he was given more carries and allowed to get going against Northern Illinois in the bowl game, he proved to be a monster. Holtz has a ton of options but trying to keep everyone happy with carries may be hard. Don't be surprised if some of these players take up other positions, Taylor is looking at linebacker already.

Then their is the QB situation, but its not that hard, we have two. Daniels is the starter and hopes to recover soon from surgery. Gunsby will get the snaps from under center early in practice and will be ahead of Daniels there. Holtz has said the competition will be open at that point. Daniels has the running ability and has proven a winner at FSU and many other venues. Gunsby is the big QB with a strong arm and pro style game, the type that Holtz liked at ECU, so who knows who the starter will be and it should be a wait and see with the signal caller.

So this is a quick break down on the offensive side of the ball for the Bulls, in a bit we will take a moment to look at the defensive side of the ball to understand the way the recruits will fit in with the returning starters.
