Not to hijack, but do you guys realize that USF is the 9th largest school in the country? I didn't, until I saw an ESPN piece about their sudden rise.

i'm pretty sure it's a lot more of a commuter school than the rest of the top ten, (with the possible exception of UCF), which can make a school seem a lot smaller than it is. it also has a tendency to detract from the overall feel of a university. hopefully that will help us in the case of Orhian.

Sports: Jefferson 34, Boca Ciega 16

By MIKE COLAPIETRO, Times Correspondent

ST. PETERSBURG - With a decisive win over Boca Ciega behind him, Jefferson head coach Mike Fenton was already looking forward to next weeks Class 4A state playoff game against Plant.

"I wanted to play Plant," Fenton said. "They have a great program. It gives us a chance to come and shock the state champions."

Boca Ciega seemed up to the challenge early. On the Pirates second play, quarterback Orhian Johnson completed a 54-yard pass to Ja-Vonta Trotter setting up a 25-yard Randall Klafter field goal.

But the momentum shifted in Jefferson's favor quickly as quarterback Zack Grossi threw touchdown passes of 57 and 58 yards to open receivers. A 4-yard touchdown run by Mark Winters gave the Dragons 20 unanswered points in the first half.

I'd have to think that if he waits til signing day to commit, that he might be squeezed out of the picture. If other recuits looking at us actually pull the trigger he may end up on the outside looking in for Ohio State. He isn't so good that you make room for him if the numbers aren't there, is he? I mean we have A LOT of really top-notch athletes looking at us seriously this year... Ahhhhh. what a nice thing to say.....
