First-year USF coach Skip Holtz had to scramble fast to put together his first recruiting class in Tampa.
His second one seems to be coming along nicely based on the numbers.
According to USFBullsEye.com, Orlando Boone offensive lineman Max Lang verbally committed to the Bulls on Tuesday morning. Lang is the 11th oral commitment USF has received for the 2011 recruiting class.
Lang, who is 6-foot-4 and 276 pounds, had been a primary target for USF’s coaching staff for several months. He reportedly had scholarship offers from several other schools, including Miami, UCF, Rutgers and Louisville.
“I’ve always had them in my mind for a couple of years now,’’ Lang told Rivals.com site USFBullsEye.com. “This was totally a complete faith thing. I really think I am done. I am happy it is over. I am happy the stress is gone. I can finish my high school career off on a strong note.’‘
Lang joins Pahokee LB Rontavious Atkins, Sebring LB Zach Bullock, Cape Coral LB/DE Edsel Caprice, Stone Mountain (Ga.) RB Willie Davis, Milton QB Matt Floyd, Land O’ Lakes QB Stephen Weatherford, Tallahassee Lincoln DB Chris Garye Jr., Lake Region OL Thor Jozwiak, Punta Gorda Charlotte WR Alex Mut and Bay Minette (Ala.) OL David Simon as verbal pledges for 2011.

Also, WR Jamaal Montague will grayshirt and enroll at USF in January. He will count towards the ‘11 recruiting class and have his full 5 years of eligibility remaining.

cfer, thanks for the note.
I know the coaching staff would have really liked for Montague to have been able to qualify and get in the mix this year at receiver since it was so wide open.
It seems more and more schools are using the “greyshirt’’ route to build depth. In Montague’s case, it’s obviously out of necessity, but I remember a couple of FSU signings since Fisher arrived where they basically said we’re signing the player now, but he won’t go on scholarship for another year.
If you’ve got players who really want to be at your school, it’s an effective recruiting tool.
