    Formula already worked at UCF and Frost didn't have DS's image/cred. Would be a very smart move for both parties.

    That 60-Minutes piece is very good. It really opened my eyes to how much he’s brought to Jackson State as their program was in the dumps.

    I wouldn't consider them much different. Yes, USF may have more money, but JSU has the history as a HBU.

    I'd rather stay at JSU go undefeated and keep enhancing the recruiting until a top power 5 school calls.

    Let him go to Colorado and recruit the other coast. It's tough enough to recruit in this state.

    In the big picture thats a small number of people.

    What USF brings is most every game on ESPN and a major TV market in a big league city. It brings a state where recruits are basically falling out of trees in your front yard. It brings a budget that is nearly 20x the size. It brings a legit stepping stone to a big time job while possibly becoming a big time job itself if the right guy gets hold of it.

    I get the cultural significance of HBCU's, but that doesnt do much for their football impact.

    All the above is true, but I can not see Coach Prime jumping to a school like USF.

    Plus he’s from Fort Myers so it will be a homecoming.

    He will pick between USF, Colorado and Cincy this Saturday.

    Report: Deion Sanders tells recruits he’ll pick a school by Saturday

    Hoping for either of those spots, which are hard to recruit.

    He'll mop up at USF, I'm afraid.

    Folks out here think he's coming to Colorado. A lot of talk about it around here.

    He doesn’t get it at all. If I coached, I couldn’t come to work with my long hair and the die either.

    He may beat up on ucf but it’s not going to be the place for championships

    I think if you win, you can come to work in a toga and a top hat. Only one thing matters.
