Nice. I enjoyed Charlotte and the bowl. Too bad we'll be going higher than 3rd...

That's either a big fish or a little quarterback...

Okay...gotcha...rough crowd here...I will change the title under enormous pressure. But this "Bull for Life" thing....so you're saying we can't revoke smazza's Bulldom?

Really? Any pictures back then? Tell us what it was like before refrigeration... ;D

You're right. Stupid Right again.

Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team.

Happy Birthday T-Man... Please be gentle? Save that for the proctologist! One unfortunate side affect of turning 40, gotta get that over 40 checkup... But don't worry about that and have a great birthday!!

Keep this up much longer, the Devil Rays will have a good excuse too.

Say, has anyone won one of those Andre Hall rookie cards?

Courtesy USF SID Office USF MEN’S BASKETBALL Bulls Add Prep Standout Amu Saaka For 2006-07 Campaign georgia forward helped program to state title last season Tampa, Fla. – The University of South Florida men’s basketball team has received a commitment from prep standout Adamu “Amu” Saaka for the 2006-07 campaign, head coach Robert McCullum announced Thursday evening. Saaka, a 6-6, 190-pound forward, will arrive on campus this summer and have four seasons of eligibility with the Bulls. “We are happy to add Amu to our program and are extremely excited about his versatility, athleticism and skill level,” McCullum said. “All of those attributes give him the potential to elevate his game to even greater heights. “With both Melvin Buckley and McHugh Mattis entering their senior seasons, it was important for us to add a player at that position (small forward) prior to their departure,” McCullum added. “This will give him a year to familiarize himself with our program and gain valuable experience.” Saaka, who signed with Furman prior to his senior season, helped Columbia High School in Decatur, Ga., to a 32-1 record in 2005 and Class 4A championship. He averaged 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game and was selected the team’s most valuable player and tabbed a McDonald’s All-American nominee. The Eagles concluded the year ranked 21st in the country by HoopsUSA and 38th in the Nike Who’s Who of High School Basketball Consensus Poll. “He was a player that flew under the radar until the summer of 2005,” McCullum added. “After he signed with Furman his stock skyrocketed during his senior year and was highlighted by MVP honors at the Kingdom of the Sun Holiday Tournament.” As a junior, Saaka averaged 16.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists, helping Columbia to a 23-8 overall record and a quarterfinal appearance in the state tournament. He claimed all-county accolades that season and was also tabbed honorable mention all-state. Saaka connected on 56 percent of his 3-point attempts. “It was our desire to add a player at Amu’s position to the 2006 class and we are very fortunate to sign a player of his caliber,” McCullum said. “His ability to shoot with range as well as drive to the basket gives him the versatility needed to be successful in the BIG EAST. “Amu is also an outstanding student who plans on majoring in management or marketing,” McCullum said. USF’s 2006-07 recruiting class now includes Saaka, guard Solomon Bozeman (Magnolia, AR) and fellow prep standout Dante Curry (Kissimmee, FL) and transfers Kentrell Gransberry (LSU) and Jesus Verdejo (Arizona). Gransberry and Verdejo will be eligible in mid-December. The Bulls still have one scholarship remaining for the 2006-07 campaign following the departure of freshman center Frane Markusovic. He left the program after the conclusion of the spring semester and will continue his career at Collin County Community College in Texas.

HUGE!

I predict an appearance by Moe within the hour... ;D

I'm all for human sacrifice... ;D

say....that is one nice Andre Hall card....

In all seriousness, we've had ugly uniforms too...for quite some time. Why we choose to use green and white in odd combinations is beyond me.

Hope to see some of the autographed ones - have you seen those yet Greg? Also fellows, please use TheBullsPen.com eBay link: http://www.southfloridabulls.com/Other%20Bull/Bulls%20on%20eBay.htm and search for Andre Hall. 10 cents per bid to the site. If you sign up for eBay, the site gets $10 I believe. Maybe we can sponsor an on-field Bull... Also, I'll get Andre's search added to the eBay page with the other Bulls as soon as possible. Thanks.

I like the fact that Huggy is so close to Hades, ought to make for a short trip for him.

So the "nice stadium" debate is pointless?

We're also up against this: http://www.stetson.edu/athletics/baseball/coaches.php http://ucfathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/bergman_jay00.html http://www.gatorzone.com/baseball/coaches.php?coach=mcmahon.html http://seminoles.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/martin_mike00.html http://fausports.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/cooney_kevin00.html http://www.fiusports.com/baseball/coaches.htm Lucky Devils...

Lake Howell coach off to USF Reggie Kohn will return to his alma mater, and dad will lead the Silver Hawks. By Buddy Collings Sentinel Staff Writer May 18, 2006 Even as he led Lake Howell to three consecutive state final four appearances as one of the youngest coaches in Florida, Reggie Kohn was itching for another challenge, either back on the court or in college basketball. He's staying on the sideline, but returning to the college level. Kohn, who was 83-14 in three seasons with the Silver Hawks, is leaving his high school alma mater to become an assistant at USF, where he played in college. Bulls Coach Robert McCullum has named Kohn, 26, director of men's basketball operations, a position that includes arranging travel and practice plans for road trips and preparing scouting reports. Kohn was 23 and less than a month out of college when he took over for his father, Steve, at Lake Howell. He will hand those coaching reins back to his dad. "I had other opportunities that I've considered. I was always waiting for the right thing," Kohn said Wednesday. "This is the right opportunity, the right place. And it's the right time in my life to do something, to see if I love college coaching and want to pursue that and hopefully work my way up." Kohn set USF career records for assists (632) and 3-point field goals (252). He signed a one-year contract to play pro ball in Turkey in August 2004 after one season as a high school head coach, but he returned to Lake Howell when a stress fracture that tormented him as a college point guard flared up in practices. Steve Kohn was 280-218 at Lake Howell from 1988-2003, highlighted by the seasons when he coached his sons, Reggie and Josh, who both set school records. Josh is now the coach at Hagerty High. "I was stealing ideas from Reggie and Josh when they were playing in college," Steve Kohn said Wednesday. "I'm really excited for Reggie because everybody knows him back at USF." Steve Kohn, who had a final four team in 2002-03 when Reggie was a senior point guard for USF, takes over a team with three rising seniors who are expected to sign with major colleges in November. Junior Nick Calathes, Florida's Mr. Basketball 2006 award winner, committed to Florida after his sophomore season. Joey Rodriguez has committed to Massachusetts, and Chandler Parsons is expected to announce his college choice this summer. Reggie Kohn said he turned down offers to be an assistant coach at the Division II level and head coach at Seminole Community College during his three-year stint at Lake Howell. "It's sad leaving Lake Howell, especially with the three guys I've coached these past three years coming back," Reggie said. "It had to be the right opportunity. It was very difficult to tell the guys. But they knew that I was considering things." Calathes said he doesn't expect the Silver Hawks to lose a step in the transition back from son to father. "We're going to miss Reggie, but his dad coaches just like him -- just not the yelling," Calathes said. "Coach [steve] Kohn is a lot quieter. "Our expectations are to win a state championship. They're still the same, no matter what." Buddy Collings can be reached at bcollings@orlandosentinel.com. Story Link
