USF ACTIVE IN SPRING RECRUITING PERIOD

April 17, 2009


South Florida signed 6-foot-6 New Jersey native Mike Burwell, who prepped this season at South Kent in CT. The Guard, Burwell is 'Ecstatic' About Joining the Bulls (St. Pete Times) and will add some perimeter shooting touch to USF's squad.

USF is among the most active spring recruiting teams, once again this year, and are solidly in the Jarrid Famous sweepstakes as one of the several teams trying to sign the 7-foot JUCO all-american center. Famous is taking an official visit this weekend to Arizona and will have a visitor of his own when he returns from the trip as USF head coach Stan Heath Will Visit Famous on Sunday (St. Pete Times), just ahead of the expected college announcement which will come next Wednesday at Westchester CC during a ceremony where the school will retire his number.

Seton Hall and Missouri are the other finalists with USF and 'Zona for Famous.

Daequon Montreal and Glenn Bryant, both who visited USF last weekend, will make final visits to Boise State and Arkansas, respectively, before making decisions. Bryant played this past season at Oak Hill Academy and is also looking at the University of Detroit, near his Michigan home. Montreal played at the College of Southern Idaho the last two seasons. Heath will also have center Sandi Marcius in for a campus visit as well as USF continues to look to add frontcourt depth.
