    Oh, that makes more sense.  I figure he can afford one of those fancy gps thingamajiggers to help with the directions although they are sometimes wrong ......

    Based on the reporting on the Rivals site Trey Moss has visited USF close to 10 times. So he probably won't get lost coming to campus from Windermere.

    While that didn't show up in the number of steals (1.1 per game in conference play), or the number of steals per foul given (0.6:1), it would be interesting to see an opponent's field goal percentage when being guarded by Casteneda - unfortunately that's next level metrics that nobody has access too, so the eye test may be as good as anything available.

    I asked somebody, who asked somebody who had access to stats like that and the answer given was 30.8%

    I wonder if the Big East would take us back ....

    The BE is a better situation for them basketball wise but Jim Calhoun is long gone.  They will probably be able to get some better players here and there but the BE is a much more difficult conference from top to bottom than the AAC and they weren't exactly dominating the conference here.  As for football, they seem to be raising the white flag.

    They have 3 four star recruits in their 2020 class.

     

     

    May have the needed big guy ...... Texas Tech transfer

    Pros and cons of he and/or Oduro not getting a waiver. Pro is obviously longer time with program to develop. Con is that right now, whenever this season starts, until Anderson is eligible in December we've only got three players taller than 6' 6". I know we've got some athleticism with those "smaller" guys but it'd be nice having a little more height for the ooc schedule to help get a good start on DC and JB's final year ...

    Fwiw the USF coaches are very confident that Oduro will get a waiver.

    tough to qualify this statement now given the current circumstance, but few things would bring me more joy than a 20+ win reg season and a pair of W's in 2021 tourny, outside of an opportunity for two chicks at the same time of course.

    Trust me, that is a lot of work.

    And in the WATN? department Part Deux, Derrick Sharp is his basketball coach, with an SG son playing for him who's currently ranked #50 in the Class of 2022 ...

    Not anymore. Derrick Sharp took the head coach job at Bishop McLaughlin. His son Emanuel is transferring there to continue to play for him.

    I start to get nervous every time our hoops program begins to rely on transfers. We're building something solid right now because we have four-year guys - DC, JB, Durr, X, Lex. Just like when we had guys like B.B., Altron, Ced Smith, Chonsey Asbury, Art Reeves, Reggie Kohn. That's the only time we've been able to put a team on the floor that was consistently competitive. 

    Let's PLEASE not go back to relying completely on transfers again. We missed last year, unless Chaplin develops. Murphy has to be the guy. We can't miss a few years in a row with high school players or it's back to piecing a roster together every year and rolling the dice.

    I like how you are thinking. The challenge is that around 1,000 Division I basketball players transfer every year. Most of these transfers occur shortly after the season ends and most HS players who are available in March are either among the best players in the nation and they're waiting to see what the rosters look like at schools like Duke, Kentucky and Kansas. Or they are not good enough to be impact players in the American. Or they have academic issues and are likely headed for a JuCo.

    But the players who are available and are good enough are...transfers.

    It is quite the conundrum.

    With our long history of developing shooters I would think we could improve upon that 32%. 

    All the way up to 33%

    He can shoot in the desert with elevation, but can he shoot with humidity at sea-level? As we all know that is not an easy prospect 

    Fortunately that article is a month old and nothing seemed to happen between the Bulls and Jonah Antonio because I do not want.

    All that guy does is jack up threes at a high volume and he isn't particularly good at making them. This season he made 31.5% of his three pointers which is basically Xavier Castaneda, who made 31.2%, level accuracy. 

    Now imagine Castaneda attempting 6 three pointers every game. Because that is what Jonah Antonio averaged this season

    I may be in the minority but I believe Oduro will get a waiver. I also think the first time transfer waiver rule will pass and go into effect immediately which will benefit guys like Makhtar Gueye. 

    Who knows if Gueye is their top target. That reporter mentioned other targets on the Rivals message board but it is behind a paywall.
