Tampa's winter weather was spectacular when women's golfer Melanie Green made her recruiting visit to USF. The coaches planned a big showcase. The itinerary: Lunch on the water, visiting the beach, checking out some other attractions.
But all Green wanted to do was hit balls on the practice range.
"It was probably the most unorthodox visit we've ever had,'' Bulls coach Erika Brennan said. "She used her student entertainment money and bought some golf balls. We couldn't watch her (hit) because that would constitute a tryout. So we sat inside and chatted with her parents.
