Offically they have lost a 4 star, a 3 star and a 2 star kid. Rumor is they will lose at least one more 3 star.
This is why recruiting rankings are such a joke.
Looks like USF has lost another recruit who didn't qualify: (Mentioned toward bottom of article)

Carlton Hill arrested on marijuana charge
TAMPA -- USF quarterback Carlton Hill and two former Bulls football players were arrested Monday at a campus apartment on misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana.
According to a USF Police report, Hill, 21, was arrested in a dormitory apartment with four other men, including former USF linebacker Devon Davis and former safety Drametrice Smith.
Coach Jim Leavitt declined to comment Thursday night, saying he would wait for more information before making any decision about Hill, who was released on his own recognizance and given a court date.
Leavitt said Hill has not been dismissed from the team, but a larger issue could come from USF?s Student Affairs committee, which can hand down sanctions for drug-related arrests on campus.
Hill, who was listed as USF?s starting quarterback entering spring drills, missed much of those workouts because of academic problems and lost the starting job. Leavitt has mentioned redshirting Hill this fall, and said he is also considering moving him to receiver.
Hill, who could not be reached for comment, was arrested and expelled from Jefferson County High School in March 2004 after he and a female student were found having consensual sex on school grounds.
He completed his senior year at an alternative school and adjudication was withheld on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after he completed probationary requirements.
Davis was dismissed from the team last spring after being arrested on drug charges in 2004. He spent six weeks in county jail this spring after being arrested for failing to appear in court on those charges. Davis and Smith last played for USF in 2004.
RECRUITING: A third member of USF?s incoming recruiting class has been lost to academic problems.
David Fonua, a defensive end from Bradenton Southeast, will not attend USF this fall after failing to meet initial eligibility requirements. He plans on taking entrance exams this fall and joining USF on scholarship in January.
Taking his spot as a scholarship freshman will be a high school teammate, receiver A.J. Love, a 6-foot-2, 185-pounder who will start summer classes on Monday.
Love had only nine catches as a senior, missing four games with an ankle injury, but is fast enough to reach the state track semifinals in the 200 meters.
?South Florida felt like home to me,? said Love, who had offers from The Citadel, Wake Forest and Florida A&M.
Defensive tackle Leslie Stirrups and quarterback Alwan Lee, who signed with USF in February, will attend junior college instead after failing to qualify academically.
