How many Strong recruits are left?

[Morgantown Card]

Does anyone have that info handy? It'd be interesting to see how much imprint CCS still has in year 4 of CBP2.

I'll take a stab at this ....

Charlie Strong took the Texas job around January 4th or 5th in 2014. Bobby Petrino was hired around January 10th of 2014.

So the 2014 class was Bobby's.

Using Rival's commitment list, the 2013 class was the last group Charlie brought in.

So ... guys still around from that class:

James Hearns
D'Asian Richardson
Kyle Bolin
Kyle Shortridge (??)
Keith Towbridge (??)
Stacy Thomas

I think that's who's left from that class. Not sure about Shortridge and Towbridge though.

Here's the ones I know of:

James Hearns
D'Asian Richardson
Kyle Shortridge
Stacy Thomas
Chucky Williams
Kyle Bolin

Also these true seniors and redshirt juniors verballed to Strong but were signed by Petrino:

Trevon Young (was literally flying into Louisville when Strong was leaving for Texas)
Reggie Bonnafon
Micky Crum
Henry Famurewa
Danny Burns
Zykiesis Cannon
Isaac Stewart

I count these verbals as Petrino recruits, for two reasons.

1. Verbal pledges aren't worth the paper they're written on.
2. Had Charlie really wanted them, he would've kept recruiting them, like he did several other players that wound up in Texas (ie. Poona Ford).

Petrino closed the deal with them, therefore they are Petrino's players.

Interesting info. It is truly Bobby's team at this point. Thank you, gentlemen.

Charlie loves him some poon, doesn't he

Can't blame him -- so do I.

Yeah, but does the poon love you back, like it does Charlie?

 

[Morgantown Card]

I have this image of Charlie in my head. He coaches football all day, and then comes home to this harem of women, who just lay around all day in yoga pants waiting for him to come home.

Charlie loves poon so much he recruited a player named Poon, and then took Poon with him to Texas. I wonder if Poon is going to transfer to USF. Loyal poon is the best poon.

Charlie is at a crossroad of his career. He better win big at South Florida!

So is Shaq Wiggins Grantham's Poon?

Charlie doesn't win "big" anywhere. Remember he said he doesn't mind winning 10-9. Lots of low scoring coming soon to USF.
