the details are in the Times. i'd delete my previous post if i could figure out how. hope it's ok to post link https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bulls/2021/06/15/usf-assistant-tom-herrion-no-longer-with-program-due-to-inappropriate-comments/

i was curious, so i read his twitter feed, and all i see is unambiguous sympathy and empathy for the struggles of African American people. He acknowledged that he could never understand the depth their suffering, because he's white and he never experienced this personally, but he never downplayed it. He acknowledged it and added his voice to those demanding change. So i'd like to know what he said, because if he said something racist, it would be in stark contrast to all available evidence about the man. I'm also suspicious of the motives of some who have reported on this case. But it would seem to be best for USFMBB to just say, case closed, we're moving on. And my primary loyalty here is to USFMBB. But I'm gonna be a strong defender of this USFMBB coaching staff, for many reasons. It's worth noting that they've put together what (on paper) sure looks like an outstanding team for 2021-22. Racism sucks, but i'll always wonder if Coach Herrion got a raw deal. (case closed)...

he must have been disappointed somehow?

Hey can Tampa Bayron shoot FTs? looks like maybe not

Thanks for info about Tampa Bayron. i agree that we may be building a team that can play around the exceptional speed of Murphy and Trey Moss. No disrespect intended towards the excellent players that transfered out, but i don't think we're gonna miss them that much. People have underestimated USFMBB's coaching staff, they were prepared for major turnover, and i think USFMBB will benefit from it. Count on tremendous leadership from transfer Greene to trickle down. I got my front row seats again, and i'm ready!

how were our incoming transfers rated?

this news is shocking, i have a hard time believing it. Doesn't fit at all with what i know about Coach Herrion.

I think Caleb Murphy is listed as a PG. I think incoming recruit Trey Moss is listed as a PG. X was listed as a PG. Is it possible they knew X wasn't gonna play much? Could that be a factor in X's decision to transfer? X had a good year though, I'm surprised as everyone else.
