The "logjam" comment in the Tweet made me lol. That kid wasn't going to play much more than BJ Mack. Once USF got Oduro they probably talked to Okpomo about a redshirt year. That probably didn't sit well with him so he chose to reopen & CBG probably told him that he respects the decision. AKA mutual decision.

It was me who made that comment. However, the NCAA's decision to waivie the standardized test score requirement for incoming freshman student-athletes was a positive game changer for Murphy and USF.

Yes

Right now, it looks like getting out of New York isn't a bad idea Oh, and they offered a kid from Arizona. Saw that on Twitter.

His video looks good. https://usf.rivals.com/news/usf-offers-2021-n-y-guard

BJ spelled Terriers incorrectly in his Tweet. So he's off to a great start there. Good luck to him.

I'm convinced ESPN does.

Please be eligible

One of the things that I thought about all season was that Rideau wasn't able to work on his game during the offseason. He had leg injuries during the CBI, stress reactions I think they're called, wore leggings for circulation help. Then he was in a boot for a while and the rest of the offseason was rehab. He didn't even play during the Canada trip. That article brought up his stats during the last five games and they made me think, because they are impressive. If he averaged 6 assists and 2.4 turnovers for season, like he did in the last five games, I think the Bulls finish above .500 overall and in the conference. Since he played so well late I just wonder how not having an offseason of more player development and working out with his teammates affected his play.

He was behind some pros at Mississippi State. I read on a Mississippi State board that his transfer caught the staff by surprise. I think Prince will get a waiver and be able to play next season.

Except TDS pretends to be journalists. We're fans, so our discussion of the Bulls is going to be funny, sarcastic or cute sometimes. Those clowns actually get credentialed to cover USF. They really only seem to know football but act like they are smarter than everyone about everything. They have zero credibility with me. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I like clowns, at least when I used to go to the circus.

They are clowns. Some of their recent articles are stupid. They don't know what to write about while the 247 and Rivals site seem to have little problem writing informative articles for Bulls fans

It's about preparing for the season (if there is one) in a COVID-19 world. It's a free article https://usf.rivals.com/news/q-a-jeff-scott-talks-to-bullsinsider-part-i

The recent articles on RayQuawndis Mitchell on the Rivals site have been better and included quotes from RayQuawndis (which has to be on an all time name list). Also the Rivals site has an update on a Mississippi State transfer named Prince Oduro. It is premium content so I cannot link to it.

Towards the end of the season I asked someone, who is around the team, what kept Chaplin off the court. He said the kid has a pretty jump shot but it almost never goes in. Said that Chaplin really needs to fix that in the offseason. He said Chaplin is the most athletic guy on the team.

I don't know but this is USF so he will probably transfer to ECU, get a waiver for immediate eligibility and play so well he spends the next three seasons making us mad that USF didn't play him more. Mack makes a jumper, runs past USF bench: Shoulda played me more. Handshake line after an ECU win over USF: Shoulda played me more.

I am sorry about that. Sometimes their content is free and sometimes it isn't. The BJ Mack article was so I thought the Darius Banks article was too.

I like Rashun but he is really a three. I am not a fan of Madut, he is only here so USF could get Mayan Kiir and now Kiir is gone. I like Anderson he's a 3/4 that can shoot it some. I hope that kid can add some weight. If USF has to use Rashun, Madut and Anderson at the four IF Lex isn't ready or is slow to get back into form; then it is another 7-11 or 8-10 conference record.

I guess you didn't see any improvement in Durr or Antun this year? Or you choose to ignore it?

Tulio Da Silva was dismissed from the team on Jan. 20, 2018 after the Bulls' 19th game of the season. He did not last a full season under Gregory and if I recall his dismissal happened after the spring semester began so he had to wait until after the season was over to transfer to a new program. He probably got a waiver since he had no choice but to transfer and USF probably said nice things about the kid to the NCAA.

My guess is BG was honest with the kid from the start but sometimes kids only hear the parts that they want. Downside is that Mack was probably the most skilled big man on the team this season. He would have been a big help next season backing up Yetna. Matter of fact, what happens if (Jeez I hope this doesn't happen) Yetna isn't ready at the start of the season or isn't ready to play more than 12-17 minutes per game. Someone will have to play the four. I really want Justin Brown to be able to slide back over to the three.
