Like your typical afternoon thunderstorm, many oral commitments come and go briskly this time of year. Hence the reason Bulls fans should probably enjoy the current deluge of verbal pledges while it lasts.
In the last nine days, six rising seniors -- three of them offensive linemen -- have made a non-binding commitment to the Bulls, increasing the program's Class of '16 pledge total to nine.
The latest: Panama City Bay OT Christion Gainer (6-foot-6, 285 pounds) and Lake Gibson OG Michael Wiggs (6-3, 275), both of whom announced via Twitter over the weekend they intend to sign with USF in February.
