Powell was part of team that helped secure last two recruiting classes ranked among the best outside of the autonomous four conferences



TAMPA, FLA., FEB. 19, 2025 – University of South Florida Football Head Coach Alex Golesh has announced the promotion of Ryland Powell to director of on-campus recruiting.



“Ryland has been a big part of our success in recruiting over the last two years, has a tremendous work ethic, and has been integral in elevating the manner in which we host prospects on our campus to an elite level,” Golesh said. “I’m excited to see her take the next step in her career and lead our on-campus recruiting.”



Powell, who enters her third season with the program in 2025, has served as the assistant director of on-campus recruiting the last two years helping USF secure classes in 2024 and 2025 that both ranked among the very best outside the autonomous four conferences. USF’s 2024 class was ranked No. 1 in the American Athletic Conference and among all non-autonomous four conference teams, while the 2025 class was ranked second among both.



USF welcomed 40 new Bulls this year, including 27 members of the 2025 Recruiting Class and 13 transfer portal additions.



In 2024, USF capped its second-straight winning season with a second-straight bowl victory, downing San Jose State 41-39 in a five-overtime thriller in the Hawai’i Bowl on Dec. 24. The Bulls are one of just 15 teams to have posted a bowl or College Football Playoff win in each of the past two seasons and the only one to have scored 40 or more points in each of those victories.



Up Next:

The Bulls open spring practice on March 25 with the annual USF Pro Day following on March 26. The USF Spring Game is set for April 26at Corbett Stadium on the USF campus.

We need to make sure we understand that in life, mistakes happen. But there are also certain moments where mistakes can't happen. And tonight, we stole that moment from [Shannon] and that's on us and something that we have apologized to him for, apologized to his mom. We want to make sure that we apologize to our fans and everybody who was excited to be a part of this experience tonight."

The term "mid-major" has become all encompassing of schools that are not part of the P4+Big East, so here is a quick snapshot of the Top 100 of this group in NET Rankings. The bubble will be much smaller this year with 14 teams from the SEC currently ranked inside the Top 50 of the NET Rankings. Last year 8 mid-major teams received an at-large bid, while it was only 5 in 2023.

• WCC a lock for 2 teams, but league could steal a 3rd bid if Santa Clara makes it the championship game or another team wins it outright (unlikely as top heavy as the WCC is this year)
• Mountain West likely to only get 3 teams this year after flopping with 6 teams in last year's NCAAT
• American likely a one-bid league unless Memphis doesn't win the conference tournament
• A-10 could get 2 teams in with VCU and a George Mason team that has won 16 of its last 18 (2/22 match up looms large)
• Unlikely Big West gets 2 teams in but have whoever doesn't win the conference tournament between UC-Irvine and UC-San Diego will have a good argument

Lock for NCAAT
12. Gonzaga (17-7)
24. St. Mary's (19-4)

Should Be In If They Don't Win Their Conference Tournament
37. VCU (18-5) - no Quad 1 wins
40. New Mexico (18-4) - 9-2 in Quad 1/2 games
41. Utah State (20-3)
44. Memphis (19-4) - 5-2 in Quad 1 games

On The Bubble
48. Boise State (16-7) - cannot afford any more losses; only 4-6 in Quad 1/2 games
50. San Diego State (14-5)
52. UC-San Diego (17-4)
54. Santa Clara (16-9) - cannot afford any more losses, but win at Gonzaga is elevating their profile
56. UC-Irvine (19-3) - gaudy record boosted by 4-1 record in Quad 1/2 games
58. Drake (19-2) - off to a better start than last year's NCAAT team
59. North Texas (14-6) - AAC is weak this year hurting chances
61. Oregon State (16-7)
64. San Francisco (18-6) - only 4-6 in Quad 1/2 games
68. McNeese (15-6) - 6 losses already and 1-4 in Quad 1/2 games makes NET ranking questionable
69. George Mason (17-5) - currently in 1st place in the A-10, but resume is soft

Waving From the Stands
190. South Florida (11-11)

Yellow Jacket TE Jackson Hawes is rated as a round 6 to free agent pick in the 2025 NFL pick. This rating exceeds his production, Obviously he has good size. I'm guessing he is a good run blocker. What is his story?

The Bucs need help at TE. Is Hawes worth a look see?

I made a full depth chart. This is not a hard depth chart prediction, so feel free to share your predictions for the depth chart. How are you feeling based on what you see below? The bold red are the new transfers/JUCO and bold black are the H.S recruits.

Congrats to the USF women's hoop team who won a 3OT thriller last night at the YC. With 1.8 seconds left, Rice is in-bounding the ball under the USF basket, and up by 3. So what does Rice do? Throw the ball the length of the court, no one touches it, so it's USF ball under its basket with 1.8 seconds left. USF's Sammie Puissis drains a 3 from the corner to tie it headed to the first OT. USF ends up winning it by 5 in 3 OT. Worth viewing the highlights on the USF site.

It will be interesting to see who the Bulls add aside from the DB Mallary and the bat signal from yesterday, if anyone else. Seems like there is always a surprise or two. Something to monitor for sure.

Is it just my computer or issue with this site? It has been two days since the last new post or reply has occurred. Is that the same for everyone else? No one has anything to say about the Bulls at this point? I feel abandoned. Weird.

Normal

Last year feels like a dream and we are now in the harsh reality of reliving the Brian Gregory era under Fletcher.

The only difference is that the AAC is vastly diminished conferenxe with superior programs like Houston, SMU, Cincinnati and even UCF no longer here.

Coaching matters in college football maybe moreso than any other spott.

FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK

CJ Brown, G, South Florida

Brown averaged 8.0 points and 8.0 assists in two games for the Bulls, including an 8-point, 10-assist, 5.0 rebound performance in an overtime win over Temple on Thursday night, February 6.

Had a lot of doubters when rumored for USF. Doubt there was ever a serious chance but it would have been nice.

Just got it on. +8

Shareef talking about CAAR right now

I’m battling the flu and a 102 temp but there will be at least one good piece of news and maybe one more.

TAMPA, Fla. (February 5, 2025) – The University of South Florida men’s basketball team welcomes Temple to the Yuengling Center on Thursday, February 6. The Bulls (11-11, 4-5) and the Owls (14-8. 6-3) are set to battle on ESPN2 with a 7 p.m. tip. During the game, the American Athletic Conference will honor the legacy of Amir Abdur-Rahim.



The South Florida versus Temple game has a special backdrop. The late Amir Abdur-Rahim will be named the Honorary 2024-25 American Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year by Commissioner Tim Pernetti, who will be joined by Coach Abdur-Rahim’s family, USF President Rhea Law, and Vice President for Athletics Michael Kelly for the recognition. The American will donate $15,000, Abdur-Rahim’s contracted bonus for achieving the Coach of the Year honor, to the Future Foundation, a cause close to the Abdur-Rahim family’s hearts. Additionally, the American has established the Amir Abdur-Rahim Sportsmanship Award for the men’s basketball player who best exemplifies sportsmanship, fair play, and leadership. All recognitions will happen at the under-eight media timeout of the first half.



Fans are encouraged to wear white to participate in the White Out game. The lower-level and select sections of the 200 level will have Love Wins T-shirts for the fans in those seats.



Milly Being Milly

Against FAU, Jamille Reynolds had 15 points, 10 rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and zero turnovers off the bench. No other AAC player has ever reached all those marks in a single game off the bench, nor has any other USF player done that in the last 25 years.



CJ’s Stellar Month

In January 2025, CJ Brown became the first USF player to record at least 15 assists, 15 steals, and a 50.0 field-goal percentage in a calendar month since Dominique Jones in December 2007. He was one of three DI freshmen to reach those marks last month, along with Bradley’s JaQuan Johnson and USC Upstate’s Mister Dean.

Getting Out in Transition
