Looking at these numbers, it shows that our biggest recruiting rival now, isn't FSU anymore. Its now USF and they've done most of their recruiting in South Florida up in Palm Beach, and in Miami-Dade, as we found out last year, we're not as invincible as we thought. They took a recruit we wanted away from us (Webster). This is why on November 28th up here in Tampa, we need to send a message to USF that we are the big dogs in recruiting South Florida athletes. We're going to be playing the Bulls for the next five seasons and we need to send a statement. Also, in Broward, Florida is our biggest rival in recruiting over there. Maybe Goodman was right when he said that the wall has eroded in Broward (UF) and Palm Beach (USF, FSU). We still run the show in Miami-Dade. That's the safest of the three counties.
