Deliberate all you wish about whether Saturday afternoon's Green and White Game can serve as any sort of barometer for the fall. What can't be argued is how effectively Willie Taggart's staff has recruited -- and developed -- bay area talent.
If the first-team units employed for much of the spring hold true, as many as 12 of the Bulls' 22 offensive/defensive starters for the Sept. 3 season opener against Towson will hail from Hillsborough or Pinellas County.
In Skip Holtz's final game, a 27-3 loss to Pitt, only four starters hailed from that same two-county area.
