Saw this interview Willie Taggart did last week on how he is taking over the Bay Area and the nearest counties nearby. Few Quotes below, you can read in its entirety link below.

He brought in 13 Tampa Bay recruits last year in 2014 class, 17 total when including I4 corridor and nearby southwest ft myers, immokolee. This was the top recruiting class in the AAC 2 years in a row.

He's been building for this 3rd class, this is where we should see his best class at USF ever as he's been personally recruiting and building a relationship with The Tampa Bay and surrounding players and their families for their entire varsity career before any of their recruitment took off. This is where we get to see how elite a recruiter with this 2015 class locally. Many of the kids who commit to USF and Taggart THE Next Month Will Be Tampa kids again it sounds like from this article. He's only got 3 Tampa commits so far, and almost a whole class to recruit this next month as He's only got 13 commits so far. Danny Thomas who enrolled early today and Reilly Gibbons count back for 2014 as he tries to keep his top commitments Marlon Gonzalez and Khalid Mcgee. So we will see a lot commitments the next month,at least 15.

Let's see how good a recruiter as he tries to sway and flip Dwayne Lawson, Ray Ray Mccloud, ryan davis, Don Hale, Jon Crawford, Jeff Smith, derrick baity, aaron covington, tj simmons, the lakeland qb alexander,jordan griffin,luke heirs, the lake Gibson kid, kelvin mcknight, christian pellage,and a host of others. Here's the article on him recruiting the Tampa Bay area hard the next month as that seems like their singular focus...

"USF head football coach Willie Taggart has a vision...

Taggart and his staff are claiming anything -- or anyone -- within about an hour's drive from the Tampa Bay area.

Howard Schnellenberger put that concept into use when he turned Miami into a national power in the 1980s, using nearly all local kids from what fans dubbed the "State of Miami."

"We are going to milk the bay. All 10 of our coaches including me are going to try and get the top players who live here," Taggart said. "If we could get all the top players there, we would be awful successful. We want to make this place into something special.""
