We're going back (way back) for an in-depth look at USF football's 2002-2012 recruiting classes, from Ramon McCollough, Chris DeArmas, Edner Alcin, and Adaris Bellamy, to Stephen Nicholas and Matt Grothe and Jason Pierre-Paul.

If this story from the Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot is right... can't USF do better than this with their football schedule?

Another highly-touted defensive tackle prospect gives his commitment to USF.

The Bulls are up to nine verbal commits in the last eight days -- here are the three new commits, along with some other recruiting notes.

Calloway flipped his commitment from Louisville to USF on Sunday night, and his verbal followed commits from two other defensive linemen and another defensive back.

The Bulls take back an offer from Robinson OL Connor Rafferty, who committed when Skip Holtz was still the coach. But it's hard to see how they could have handled things differently if they decided he wasn't going to be able to play in their system.

The longtime college coach, coming off a difficult season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will also coach USF's secondary.

Ummm... OK I guess?

The Bulls' new coach has reenergized the search for high school talent, and even if it doesn't lead to a top-notch class this year, it's reminded everyone that USF is not to be ignored on the recruiting trail.

The former Plant High School coach becomes USF's new receivers coach, then changes his mind and stays at Plant.
