I don't think we have much choice, do we? This is the worst QB depth I have ever had the pleasure of using (other than Barnett)

Being able to recruit in-state is going to make this rebuild much easier for you. Do you have plans of moving into a P5 conference after a few seasons of dominance down the road? If so, are you eyeing the ACC or SEC?

Having the ability to recruit in a state like Florida will as you say make this slightly easier, however as you well know there are some big schools in this state alone to contend with and with the restrictions I have implemented where I will not be using the in-game perks with recruiting, I am hoping to keep it as realistic on this front as possible.

There are always plans to move to a P5 conference, that is the steady progression that any school should have even more so now with the playoff system and the importance of schedule strength. Obviously the SEC would be the most appealing to me out of the two you have mentioned but the ACC could also be a possibility, it may, in the end, come down to what the college football world looks like when this USF team is ready to make that step up.

South Florida | Jordan Cronkrite out for at least seven weeks.

Tampa, Florida -- It was pretty evident that when senior running back Jordan Cronkrite was carted out of practice today that this wasn't just a bruise, and the serious concerns upon all the Bulls coaching staff were clear for all to see.

Those concerns were confirmed today with the news that pretty much everyone expected that Cronkrite did, in fact, suffer a severe sprain to his MCL in his right leg and will miss at least the first seven weeks of the season.

"It's very disheartening for the young kid, that's for sure," head coach Charlie Strong said today. "We knew right away that this wasn't just a shin splint, you could clearly see it was more than that by the way he was holding his knee and it was just a matter of getting it confirmed. Seven weeks alone, maybe more for this type of thing to heal, then there is the rehab, it could be a bit longer for all we know."

It is expected that the Bulls will now turn to junior Odunayo Seriki or senior Trevon Sands to be the main ball carrier but I would expect to see both come into the games often.

Sands is the more senior of the two and has seen playing time at running back whereas Seriki only made plays on special teams; this really is a big injury for the USF offense, one they could certainly do without before the season has even kicked off.

Along with the injury to Cronkrite, the Bulls coaching staff confirmed that sophomore defensive end Jabreel Stephens is likely to miss up to nine weeks with an Adductor Sprain which was picked up during weight training last week.

Thats a huge blow to the run game. Cronkite on paper looked to be your best player.

I do like Seriki's speed #'s though. Maybe he can be a little Lighting to go with the Thunder.

Format looks good so far. Looking forward to following.
