They're actually doing very well surprisingly. I dont think the ruling did much even though we've had two recruits pick Temple over Penn State. It's more to do with hiring Terry Smith and the fact that Matt Rhule is a dynamic recruiter.

Congrats Temple. I always like hearing conference mates doing well, except when we want them. BTW, you should see the job LB and staff are doing in BBall recruiting. We may make the conference proud.

Thanks. Cant say we're doing the same for basketball. Our staff is a disgrace.

USF got number 11
TE Nick Nataro 6'3 220 switched commitment from Arizona to Bulls, two star by Rivals and 247, three star by Scouts

UCF get's the #3 punter in the nation (according to this website), Mac Loudermilk. He is listed as a "non-recruited" recruit, freeing up a few scholarship limitations.

He is listed as a Quarterback / Tight End / Fullback - H-back / punter. A very good get no doubt, as this allows us more versatility if we decide to use him as a fullback (which we certainly need) as well as a punter.

No ratings yet, but this is a quintessential O'Leary diamond in the rough... a very strong theme amongst our recruiting class thus far.

Florida State
Georgia Tech
Iowa
Kentucky
Marshall
Maryland

Isn't he a transfer, rather than a high school/prep recruit?
