Former Buffs RB Scott says he's coming to USF

It's always with a grain of salt that we report anything based on Facebook status updates, but here's a wild possibility: Darrell Scott, the nation's top running back recruit in 2008, posted on Facebook on Monday night that he's transferring to play his final two years of college football at USF.

"Just got a scholly peeps!!!! Your looking at a bull now," he wrote. "USF here I
come baby."

Scott, 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, spent two years at Colorado, where he rushed for 343 yards as a true freshman and was limited by a knee injury to 95 yards last season. He would have to sit out the 2010 season by NCAA rules and would have two years to play with the Bulls.

Scott was born in Tallahassee, and at one point in high school, was reportedly considering transferring to Tallahassee's Lincoln High School, where USF starting quarterback B.J. Daniels also attended. Scott could not be reached for comment Monday night.

USF's running back job should be wide-open in 2011, with this year's likely starter a sixth-year senior in Mo Plancher, with no experienced running backs behind him.
