First year head coach Willie Taggart made quite a splash with his first signing class at USF. The Bulls brought in 23 players; 2 four stars, 15 three stars and 6 two stars. With limited time and and incomplete staff, Coach Taggart was able to put together the 3rd best recruiting class in the Big East and 46th ranked class in the country, by Rivals.com. The Manatee native was able to mine a gem out of his old high school, flipping Manatee High School DT Derrick Calloway away from Louisville. Taggart and company impressed further by locking up Southridge High School (Miami, Fla.) product Lamar Robbins for the Bulls. The recruiting by Taggart and his staff put USF in the position for some of the best talent in the country; competing, not only with the top schools in the state, but in the nation. Bulls Nation is reinvigorated; going from despair and devastation after a 3-9 season to excited and anticipatory for the future ahead.
