I am doing my bi weekly checking this thread for updates. So are we in?? -
Bulls Baseball Discussion
belgianbull replied to olafberserker's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
Aren't we still above .500 on the season, and in the top half of the AAC? Comparing this to the Scott era is a bit much. -

It does make sense though regarding Memphis and San Diego State being on top regarding consideration during the next realignment. Add to that U Conn, WSU, and OSU. I think we are probably in the tier after that along with Tulane, Boise State, Navy... The key is to keep winning, built facilities, and also some luck regarding how the dominoes fall, and we will be in the ACC and Big 12 within the next 3-5 years. -
Anyone hear about any stadium updates today?

I would love to see the angle from the other side. We haven't seen that angle yet. i like the green and gold color scheme, and the horns sticking out -

USF needs to find their own Sugar Daddy. Don't we have famous rich alum. Hulk Hogan maybe? -
Depends what line of work you are in. If it involves signing a contract that requires you to finish a particular job ( for example, a contract to built a house), or in the NFL, where you sign multi year contracts,.... its different I am a white guy in my early 40's who doesn't speak Korean, but I am still an aspiring k pop artist, and if I sign a contract with a label, I would have to finish the terms of the contract.

2024 CFB Transfer Portal
belgianbull replied to Gatorbull325's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
My argument is not that he is better than Brown or that he is not replaceable. My argument is that he probably would have been a better option to have compared to our current back up QB's. Again the way the world works the probability of having your starting QB injured at some point is sizable. And lets not forget its not like he wasn't able to win games; he did so in the Big 12, and it wasn't entirely on him when at USF with the defense we had -

He had a bad start, but found his mojo as did our offense in his last three games. Defense lost us a bunch of games, offense was decent . Last three games 6 td and 0 interceptions with great rushing stats too. You have to the look at the totality of his numbers. Bohanon would have been a great option to have as a back up qb -

The way things go for mobile QB's, injuries happen often. It was mind-numbing when looking at other AAC teams, and the amount of QB injuries they had. Bohanon would have been a great option to have had as a back up QB. The back up QB who I assume will be Archie did not show me much last year, albeit in limited time. Maybe Carter? -

I agree with JR. The ACC would be wise to replace FSU with USF immediately, then look to expand back to 18 + Notre Dame -- ideally by poaching high-value "4 Corners" teams - or even the combo of TCU and Kansas - from the Big XII. This would secure the ACC as one of the power conferences - even if it wouldn't be fully equal to the top two. Interesting, but no way Notre Dame joins the ACC, and the " you pick up South Florida to secure them from the Big 10" is just hilarious I have a better shot at dating Rihanna, Zendaya, and Jennie Kim at the same time than we do at getting into the Big 10. ACC and Big 12 ,however, at some point is possible -

Sure, no doubt Placer was a known commodity regarding as to what he was getting. I guess in the end my point regarding the tweet or x, or whatever its called now, is that in this new NIL and transfer portal era both coaches and fans will have to develop a thick skin, and we will lose some and gain some. Coach Rahim will undoubtedly at some point recruit players from other schools that at some point were undervalued or not evaluated correctly, but were able to prove themselves at a lower level. And at that point coaches from those other schools will probably think or say the same thing about us. While none of this is good for College basketball this is the new reality, and we need to be willing to play ball, and I am sure we will. -

belgianbull replied to usfrank's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
I see what you are saying, but at the same time would that mean that if we offer a player now from a lesser conference that had a good year this year, and we didn't offer that player last year, that we didn't evaluate that player correctly? Or is it perhaps that when a player proves himself at a certain level that calls ups to the next level is just part of the new reality? My point is that when we pick up players through the portal from teams in lower conferences than us, fans of those teams will say the same things about us. Losing players to the NIL sucks, but it cuts both ways, and when we sign good players from other teams ( example, Placer from North Florida) it sucks for those teams as well. -

I dont know, but doesn't it negate his point when last year we poached players away from other teams including half his Kennesaw State team. I really hope behind the scenes we are playing the same poaching game that other schools are playing, and I am sure we are, but at the same time there is no need to complain about it unless you are not willing to engage in same behavior. And we have no choice but to, which means convince good players that play at lower tier teams to come to USF, whether they are currently in the portal or not. And this is not a critique on Coach Rahim since I am impressed with him, but he has to be willing to play the portal game, and I am sure behind the scenes we are. -
i dont know. I hope behind the scenes we as well are trying to poach good players away from "lesser" programs in "lesser" conferences. Coach Rahim did a great job last year bringing over A Sun talent. I am sure North Florida wasn't happy losing Placer to us. No reason being offended when Power 5 teams go after our players.

All this kind of feels like growing up in Europe rooting for my smaller local football club ( i think you guys call it socoor or something), where every year the bigger clubs would come in and buy the best players so they could ride the bench at their club. In the end me rooting for my local club was rooted in my DNA. Same goes for me when it comes to USF. The good news about this NIL thing and player turnover thing, you can get good fast as we showed last year.

Billions are being made by sport networks, analysts, companies running commercials during games. universities, the gambling industry, coaches, recruiters, and everyone and everything in between. I am totally fine for players to get a piece of that big money pie. I think players create enormous value. Isn't every school looking for the next great athlete to take their school to the next level. Think Tebow and the Gators, or Brown or other star USF players in the past. We cant forget a lot of players wont make any money playing the sport they love after college due to not being good enough for the pros or injuries they sustained while in school. I hate that we lost our best players to the NIL, but we just need to figure out how to sign and collect money for the Nil so we can keep our best players and/or sign new ones. I do believe once we get into the ACC this wont become as big of a problem . Sorry for the rant but got like 3 hours of sleep over the last 3 days after a crazy Coachella weekend Go Bulls!!!!
