Bulls add pair of tight ends in Moore and Golden ahead of busy weekend for staff
Eddie Fernandez -- 247 Sports USF Insider

Three-star tight ends Chris Golden and Thomas Moore both committed to USF earlier this week as the USF coaching staff now turns their attention into perhaps the most important recruiting weekend of this cycle.

Golden and Moore were both considered locks as USF now has seven players committed in the class. Golden has prototypical size for the position at six-foot-seven and 257 pounds while Moore, coming in at six-feet and 231 pounds, is more of a blocking, H-back type.

USF will be hosting four-star defensive end Sheldon Corbett this weekend in what has been a long and hard fought recruiting battle for the former USF commit. With many experts pegging USF third in the race, an impressive weekend is all that can keep the Bulls in the race for the six-foot-seven defensive end.

USF is also hosting three-star defensive tackle Ross Barron and three-star linebackers Gary Prince and Jeffrey Reese. Both linebackers are considered to be on commit watch while Barron has an outside shot of committing to USF but with a visit scheduled to FIU next week, that is unlikely. As far as landing the big fish in Corbett, that remains to be an unlikely occurrence.

The Bulls are trending in a negative direction when it comes to four-star commit WR Tyrone Gibbons. Gibbons visited Ole Miss last week and received two Crystal Balls to the Rebels. At this moment, a decommitment is expected to come in the next few days. USF does have a backup option, however, should they want to add another receiver to the class besides WR Chris Walker. They kicked the tires on Heath Woods earlier in the season and even offered the three-star WR before cooling off on him and not willing to accept his commitment. Should Gibbons commit elsewhere, which is now looking like the case, Woods would be a viable replacement.

The wins keep on piling for Francois and Co. as Barron, Prince and Reese latest to join recruiting class
Eddie Fernandez -- 247 Sports USF Insider

Despite a rocky season, USF now finds itself just nine spots behind Houston for the top recruiting class in the American Conference thanks to the addition of three-star linebackers Jeffrey Reese and Gary Prince as well as three-star defensive tackle Ross Barron.

The additions give USF the 60th best recruiting class in the land. All three were on campus last weekend for the team's win over Memphis as well as four-star defensive end Sheldon Corbett. According to reports, Sheldon enjoyed his visit and USF is in a "better place" than where they were 48 hours before his visit.

Reese is most naturally talented of the bunch, coming in at six-foot-two and 238 pounds with a good blend of speed and strength as he projects to be an edge linebacker or perhaps even play defensive end. Prince also projects to be either an edge linebacker with his size and limited athleticism although he has more experienced playing inside linebacker. Barron is a prototypical three-technique at six-foot-two and 293 pounds.

Francois, Bulls finally land their quarterback as cycle nears it end
Eddie Fernandez -- 247 Sports USF Insider

The sixteenth ranked quarterback in the 2014 recruiting class, Grant Oliver out of Panthersville, Georgia, has committed to the USF Bulls. Oliver is one of four high school seniors to pledge their commitment to USF's 2014 recruiting class with three-star receiver Chris Walker, three-start tight end Mike Henry and three-star defensive tackle Dennis Martin also making the announcement official via their social media.

The announcement seemed coordinated and was expected with Oliver and the rest being considered a 'lock' for quite some time now. From a talent perspective, Walker is one of the Bulls more interesting prospects at six-foot-four with legit 4.46 speed clocked on the laser. Henry is also a decent athlete with a 4.70 40-yard dash but lacks the natural catching ability that you would from a pass catching tight end. Martin rounds out a defensive tackle that also features a similar player in three-star Ross Barron. Both players are one-gap type defensive tackles that are capable of stopping the run.

As far as Oliver, there is plenty to like. He possesses prototypical size at six-foot-two and 219 pounds and has a filled out frame which helps him generate some zip on his throw. The one caveat however is his lack of athleticism and just general avoidance to scrambling. The 2013 USF offense has largely found success as of late by using the quarterback as a runner and that's certainly not within Oliver's wheel house.

NCAA rules prohibit head coach Malcolm Francois from speaking on any recruits but he was on 560 WQAM talking about this year's recruiting cycle and he did make some news and hinted at a potential change in recruiting guidelines.

"I don't want guys that are committed but not really," said Francois, "We want to change the culture around here and I think that starts with how you meet someone. You only get one first impression and when I see guys being half in, half out, I don't respect it, honestly."

Francois could be hinting at former USF commits four-star receiver Tyrone Gibbons and defensive end Sheldon Corbett. Corbett's recruitment has been a whirlwind as he was once a USF commit, decommitted, appeared to be heading to Georgia Tech, then Troy, then back to USF and now....Mississippi State. Gibbons on the other hand appears to be heading to Ole Miss while three-star LB Alfred Jordan, once considered a USF lock, is now trending towards Cincinnati.

In speaking to some members of the staff, Francois wants to implement a "no visits" policy which will prohibit recruits from taking visits to other schools if they want to considered and seen by the coaching staff as being committed.
