Jackson Shewey takes a look at the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from South Florida's loss at Houston.

STORY

...today. Ringgold and his parents arrived in Tampa last night.

Ringgold is a 6-foot-7 forward from Baton Rouge, LA who attends Legacy Early College (SC).

Keaton Williams stold the show. 21 carries for 178 yds and a TD. Ahlers had a pedestrian game (by his standards) but ECU's defense made several key stops to save the game for the Pirates. It was a good win for ECU and for the AAC too.

BYU has some nice pieces. Their O-line has 3 bonafied NFL draft picks in LT Blake Freeland, LG Clark Barrington and Center Connor Pay. Also QB Jaren Hall. The BYU defense has been their downfall. As USF knows the Cougars are hard to beat at home. ECU showed grit and determination. ECU coach Mike Houston looks like a keeper.

I was pulling for ECU like they were my team. They have a nice team. The Pirates stand 6-3 (3-2) and have 3 games remaining: After a bye next week ECU travels to Cincy on 11/11 for a Friday night tilt with the Bearcats on ESPN2, then they play Houston at home on 11/19 and Travel to Philly to close the season out with Temple on 11/26.

I see that USF offered Keaton Williams out of High School. This kid runs a 4.3 forty and is a bonafied NFL prospect and only 2 P5 teams offered him out of High School, Nebraska and WVU.

Please keep all game chatter in this thread. Game time is noon on ESPN2.

At 7:00 PM on ESPN the #3 Tennessee Vols 7-0 (3-0) host the #19 Kentucky Wildcats %-2 (2-2). The Wildcats lost a 22-19 Heartbreaker at Ole Miss where QB Will Levis suffer a dislocated finger. The following week Levis was held out of the South Carolina game and the Wildcats lost to the Gamecocks 24-14 with freshman backup QB Kaiya Sheron under Center. Will Levis returned the following week and the Wildcats beat #16 Mississippi 27-17.

The Vols offense has been a juggarnaut. But Kentucky has a good defense and this is a border war like GA-FLA. Will Levis is close to 100%. This will be a great QB matchup between Levis and Hooker. I like UK to at least cover the spread. I think the Cats have a good chance to pull the upset.

South Florida goes travels to Houston Saturday to play the Cougars for the last time as AAC rivals.

Sent to me today by a former USF assistant coach

One South Florida target is ready to announce his school choice, another is on deck and two prospects to visit.

STORY

Two teams battling now for a district title. Both have very good QBs. Tate (USF commit) and Rodney Tisdale (another 2024 QB). Tisdale is fantastic and reminds me of an athletic Mahomes. Somebody needs to be recruiting him. Fletcher has a roadgrader in Toby Matson at guard. Can't believe a team like USF isn't on a kid like that. He is dominant on the line versus a very good First Coast team

I spoke briefly with The Skill Factory point guard Myles Che tonight, ahead of his official visit to USF which begins tomorrow afternoon.


The main two main reasons I hit him up was to hear about his Indiana State visit and get a timeline for his USF visit. Che surprised me when he said that he just got back from an OV to Drexel. So, to recap, Che visited Indiana St. Oct. 16-18, Drexel Oct. 20-22 and catches a flight to Tampa Monday afternoon.

To be clear, this wasn't an interview. Just a brief conversation. All he really mentioned about Indiana State was its coaching staff, particularly head coach Josh Schertz who is entering his second season there, and Indiana State's player development piece. On Drexel, Che was impressed with the campus. He liked the vibe of the Drexel campus and what he called "the city aspect."

I saw the last two minutes of the WBB practice today and noticed that Coach Fernandez had a knee brace on.

He said that he may have torn his meniscus Monday at practice. Said he's on anti-inflammatory & pain medication. He wasn't sure when he'll have a MRI.

Hearing that USF beat Florida International by 20 in the closed scrimmage and that Tyler Harris went off.

Also heard that FIU was missing its two best players.

That's a gut punch. He and MVS were going to be our highest profile pros this year.

I vote murdering a bucket of KFC Major League style...

Most people probably feel MVS is going to sign with Green Bay, but can they afford him. Clearly he has a lot of leverage here, and can seek a deal in excess of $10 million. Green Bay lost it's leverage when they let Adams get away, now they want to act like they wanted MVS the entire time.
