TAMPA, DEC. 26, 2016 – Head coach Jose Fernandez expanded the University of South Florida backcourt with the addition of combo guard Alba Prieto, Fernandez and his staff announced Monday.

The Bulls gained another five-star recruit per Passion Hoops and Blue Star Europe, their second five-star athlete in as many years. The Seville, Spain native has been a prominent member of the Spanish National Youth Teams and competed with the U17 team in the FIBA World Championships this past summer. Prieto is a top-75 recruit by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report and ranked No. 20 in her position in the 2017 class.

Excellent news.  I love what CJF is doing by going after top international players. He knows he can't compete as often with the UCONN and Notre Dames of the world for the American born talent,  so he is making USF the top spot for international talent.  We will have a perennial top 20 team with this strategy.

CJF is rapidly becoming one of the most formidable coaches in USF history.

That's some good hype music in her highlight video... Sounds like something from Napoleon Dynamite.

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
