Well it was high time for us to have a recruiting thread anyway. Especially with things starting to heat up with football around the corner.

A kid from FL who committed without ever visiting here? Color me shocked.

Pirates land 3* RB Jerry Howard.

Artis is way underrated. He is quickly moving up the charts to become one of the better defensive players in Florida.

We're recruiting pretty well coming off an 0-12 season

That's never been a problem at UCF. The mystery is why we couldn't recruit better after bowl win seasons. That should change under Frost. O'Learys successes were really in spite of himself, IMO

^^^This^^^ I think Houston is showing how it can be done.

Seeing good times ahead for many of us in the American. We aren't a one trick pony like the MWC.

When your team gets deeper with talent some players might look elsewhere. Just one guess. Ucf is a great option because of the open positions, lack of depth, and great location. Plus something new with frost, new uniforms, new system, etc

REALLY excited about this kid who just committed to the Pirates.
Jerry Howard – RB - 6’0” 210 (although his coach says he’s up to 218) He’s got speed when he needs it, and loves contact.





He has an odd offer list. 16 teams, including (Navy, Air Force, & Army) but no P5 offers.

This is exactly the kind of kid ECU needs.

DeAngelo Williams was ranked a 4 star when he committed to Arkansas, as soon as he decommitted from Arkansas and committed to Memphis he was dropped to a 3 star. Funny how that works. What's even funnier is, with all the 5 and 4 stars Ole Miss had last year and Memphis with their 2 and 3 stars, Memphis handed Ole Miss their happy @sses. Same for Houston in their @ss kicking of Florida State. loved every minute of it in each game.

ECU just landed back to back 3* WR commits in Proehl and Borders

Probably already asked but I'm not reading through 10 pages, what is up with UConn and USF? For two teams who are supposed to be one the rise you each have 1 commit according to 247. That's got to be a little alarming.

They will be fine. Northeastern recruits are undervalued and USF has a billion recruits to choose from in Florida.

usf will get recruits but not to the level they normally get, it will be tough, no elite recruits are currently considering them and they have 1 total recruit...if they have a great seasons some minds will be changed but as of now they are looking like they are going to be bottom half of the league at seasons end despite averaging the #1 class for the last 6 years

UCF has 9 commits right now from the state of Florida. I would imagine USF was after most if not all of those nine as well. I wouldn't just be depending on recruits falling into my lap because I'm in the state of Florida. They appear the be 4th in the pecking order in that state right now.

Also I'm not sure what NE recruits being undervalued means here? If UConn commit was 5* it still would only be one commit so I don't get that argument.
