TAMPA The only certainty among the University of South Florida's walking wounded is senior WR Amarri Jackson will miss his second consecutive game since injuring his knee Oct. 27 at Connecticut.

"Amarri's not going to play," USF coach Jim Leavitt said.

The Bulls might get back the services of WRs Taurus Johnson (ankle) and Dontavia Bogan (hip) for Saturday's game at Syracuse.

"We're working hard to get Taurus and Bogan back," receivers coach Mike Canales said. "They both practiced [Wednesday], so that's good. Taurus was running around and catching a couple of balls, so I was happy."

The availability of Johnson and Bogan, along with RT Walt Walker (knee) and RB Ben Williams (ankle) won't be known until today.

"A lot of them are just working out," Leavitt said. "They're all just trying to work around a little bit and trying to get themselves ready. … Are any of them going to play for sure? No. Are any of them out for sure? No. I'll know [today] because we'll make a decision."

ANOTHER COMMITMENT: Coral Springs Charter High School athlete Evan Landi (6-foot-4, 200 pounds) committed to USF, according to scout.com.
Landi chose the Bulls over offers from South Carolina and Wisconsin, among others, the Web site reported.
