Mere days after completing his first recruiting class as a USF assistant, former Bulls secondary coach Corey Bell is leaving the school for a position at Florida.
Bell, who coached at two Miami high schools and FAU, helped USF reel in a trio of three-star players from state champion Carol City on National Signing Day.
With the departure of Bell, Strong will have three coaches left to hire.
