LB Deeb sees playing time at USF

  • http://southflorida.247sports.com/Article/LB-Deeb-sees-playing-time-at-USF-74102

    Bulls247 caught up with USF's no.1 linebacker target Michael Deeb to find out the latest on where his recruitment stands.

  • Hopefully Scott can get the job done.. Seems to be well educated about USF. Knows there's an opportunity to play.. Similar to Heritage, hopefully he likes the idea of being one of those final pieces to getting a team like USF over the top..

    Deeb just comes across as a Big10/Penn St type recruit. They could be tough competition for the atmosphere and he truly doesn't mind leaving, the cold, the recent abuse scandal, and no more Joe Pa..

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

    It may be suprising to you - but have you looked at our class so far? Alabama, OSU and Michigan have also lost recruits to PSU this year.....

  • Not trying to flame, but REALLY? loco Who exactly do you think you are? I'm from Florida - USF has made great strides the last few years, but the highlight of USF football has been a few upset wins - Penn State is college football royalty - 7th most wins in college football history, countless All-Americans, a Heisman winner, two National Championships, two Big Ten championships in the last 5 years. The events of the last few months were horrible, but they don't represent the University as a whole, and the people involved are long gone. Maybe you ought to check the most recent recruiting rankings and re-think your statement...

    Really? Interesting. Maybe you should tell Sean Price, Chris Bivins, James Hamilton, that. Ryne Giddens, Terrence Mitchell,Sam Barrington, DeDe Lattimore etc, etc etc. (all were very highly recruited) Heck Ryne Giddens and Sean Price were national recruits.

    You might be confusing us with FIU and FAU.

    And Penn State is a has been program in the middle of no where Amish country. Just had the most disturbing scandal that I have ever heard of in sports last year. Pedophilia is kind of a big deal.

    If this kid was from Big 10 country, I would understand. But, Penn State is an after thought in Florida.

    Lets see, spend 4-5 years living in the middle of no where PA and freeze your ass off....or go to college in Miami, Tampa, etc...

    Plenty of schools lose out to PennState. Look USF has to step up and do what PennState is doing in recruiting. Stop making excuses and start winning the recruiting battles. Winning on the field will start soon after! I love going to Ray J, so let's get it going!

    Who is making excuses or whining? We don't need any excuses. Heck, we are the leader for the top rated CB in the nation right now.

    k, but the Bulls are ranked 54 on 24/7,and UF is 4th. Tpa is sooo much better than Gainesville, with the Beaches,Rays,Bucs,...etc. Time to move up!

    Clearly you don't know much about Pennsylvania nor have you educated yourself about what really happened with the Sandusky (not PSU) scandal - if you only get your info from ESPiN then you only have about 1/10 of the info and a lot of that is even incorrect..

    ....whose daddy is the coach there. That's a layup, if he doesn't commit to South Florida I'd be concerned. Have never heard of any one of the recruits you mentioned and Amish country is funny but you're off just a tad. USF is making strides in the worst AQ conference in the nation but don't get ahead of yourself now.

    Penn State 7x National Champs, home of the winningest college football coach to ever grace a sideline.

  • He won't be the top rated CB in the nation when re-evaluations are done. Kendall Fuller and his performances at recent camps are goin to have him competing for the number one overall spot. Kid is being compared to Patrick Peterson and Eric Berry when they were coming out of high school.

    Either way, Hargreaves is a beast and still a top five recruit, but his dad is a coach at USF, so I would hope that they have a shot at landing him. I admire your passion for USF, but the reality is that PSU has been a sleeping giant the past decade, and the giant is finally waking up. To ignore the start that PSU has had on the recruiting trail thus far would be naive, and if O'Brien continues the winning tradition while continuing to inject energy in the program, then PSU will become a household name once again for football.....even in Florida.

    By the way, I admire USF and hope that they can continue to build their program up. I remember watching them play PSU in 2005 in our opening game, thinking to myself, that these guys play with the most heart out of any team I've seen in a while. I hope they continue on the up and up, would love to see them succeed with their blue collar kids over the flashy ways of FSU and Florida.

    This is a hard working high character kid. Hope he becomes a Penn State man!

    I understand the whole scandal with PSU and all, but there are far worse schools we could lose Deeb to than a school that has historically churned out pro linebackers

  • I think this one is going to be a battle to the end between PSU and USF. Hope he ends up at PSU seems to fit the prototypical LB that PSU goes after, and it is nice for the PSU fan base to see us finally recruiting in FLA. But I have a feeling he stays home. Either way hope the Bulls have a great season

    Think you can probably include Notre Dame in that battle you mentioned.. He's got the offer, plans to visit, and said in an interview he's a Catholic.. Should be interesting to see how hard ND recruits him.

  • It is easy to let events of the past year overshadow all the positives Penn State has going for it. It will also be interesting to see what kind of changes happen at PSU with new leadership. Penn State has to be a little different over the next few years with the passing of the torch. If you get tired of going to Iowa we might be able to make room in the Big East now that Pitt is leaving. thumbsup
