He lost Eric Gordon to Indiana on the last day of the early signing period and couldn't replace him.

That is the reason Weber wouldnt shake Kelvin Sampsons hand after the Indiana/illinois game.  

He did have illinois #1 in the country at one point, with a lot of bill Selfs recruits but still would be a good hire.

Hermie you and your alter-ego JoeBulls are all over the board with who the right guy is.  I'm amazed.  You were so focussed on McCullum being the source of evil in Bulls Basketball and then it comes to a new coach and you act like pre-teen girls in the training bra section of Dillard's.

I appreciate your contributions here and I mean nothing really personal towards you.  I just find it funny that you are so easily influenced now, but so full of conviction before.

Shalom.

Because we are big fans, been going to the games with JoeBulls, Reub and other friends since 1997.  Personally, i was not anti-mac i was pro usf basketball and still am.  it was blatantly obvious mac was not the man for our job.  I stated it when the hired him but then again I am pretty gifted.  Plus he didnt have much personality, which according to you is the only thing i care about.  

I am easily influenced now because i am excited to see who we hire and watch him coach and take steps to improve.  You have seen usf in the ncaa tourney before I have not.  I have been praying to see it since greenburg and have yet to get there.  All I want for Christmas is for USF to make the NCAA tournament and one day get a rank.  

mazel tov - even though im not jewish.  

1) Grant

2) Lowery

3) Marshall

4) Hobbs

5) Pelphrey

It all depends on the person and what they like to watch.  

When i was in school i would go to every basketball game because i love college basketball.  I'm not a huge college football fan and never was, but i attend most home games and the UCF game, when away.  I used to go to USF soccer and lacrosse games all the time as well because I liked the sports.  

Personally i dont like watching college baseball and never been to a game.  Do i hope they do well, YES, but you cant expect people with no interst to go to the games.  

Call this guy tomorrow morning.  Tell him we will sell the Library if we have to and build up the basketball facilites and pay him what he wants.  

Dickie V put Anthony Grant on his All GQ team, the man has class.  I no longer have a man crush on Huggins I switched it over to Grant.

Notice how the Pitt and Duke  players at the end of regulation were all winded while Grants boys were in fit shape and ready to play 100%.   What a game.  

Whatever it takes, please make a serious run and an offer this guy cant refuse.  

He said he likes his players to be arrogant and have lots of swagger.  thats why he liked Barry bonds so much and now Gary Sheffield.   As a Mets fan, thank you for bobby Bonilla.  

1) Do we have a million a year to give him?

2) Is he even worth a million a year?

He is looking for the big dollars

he has name recognition and has coached in the big east at a good seton hall team right?

Thats right, i completey forgot he coached Seton Hall.  I dont know about him though.  i havent heard a peep out of michigan basketball in a while.  

He also has the "Cool" factor and lots of swagger.  I know bulliever will jump on me for this but like Jim Leyland said it is the most underrated aspect of a coach and a player.  The way he carries himself and an inviting smile goes miles in recruiting young kids.  

Just by looking at Grant you can tell if he came in your living room to recruit you, you may not listen to another coach.  his own players said it took one day for them to realize he was the right coach for them.  They thought they had it good with Capel now they know they have it great with Grant.  

But joebulls maybe we should go after your self proclaimed guy bitter beer face bobby Lutz, yea he has a lot of appeal to young inner city youth im sure.  

I would throw the house at Grant, whatever you want, if we can afford we will do it, if not then we have to look elsewhere.  We will see.  I just dont know if i should root for or against VCU in the tourney for our chances of getting him.  I know I want to root for them.

Amarri is a quality player and leader on this team. Some of the best leaders are the ones who have a sense of humor. SOme of the worst posters are ones who couldn't find a sense of humor with a map and a guide dog.

He who defends everything, defends nothing.  Thats what some of the worst posters on this board do.  

I dont think ANYONE thinks what he did was funny. You are using the wrong argument, sure you can say he is a kid and acting like an idiot, but certaintly not funny.  You can take it for what it is and ignore it  but certaintly do not condone it.  

Maybe someones sense of humor needs to be tweaked by the authorities of the team.  I wonder if it were Antown Hanks who did it, if you would think it was funny.  I wonder if Charlie Weiss would let his 2nd best wide receiver put that on a website everyone in the university and the country has access to.  i think Leavitt will deal with him, even if you dont agree with Jim or not.  He has to, no 1 player is above the team.  

you dont think that DW got rid of RMC to take pressure off of his own neck?

or you dont think that DW should be blamed if our bball program still stinks in 2 years?

I know it wasnt asked to me, but i think he did fire him to take pressure off of himself.  Thats why i think he is going to surprise us and make a big hire.  You dont pay out 400K plus to get rid of a contract unless you have your sights on a big fish.  

The answer to the 2nd question i think depends on how the coach performs.  Its not his fault if he hires someone who is qualified at the time and doesnt come through, IMO.    

Why on numerous occasions has kobe Bryant thrown elbows on a defender while in his face on a jumpshot.  He says they are inadvertant, but you can tell it is almost like he gets frustrated when someone has their hand in his face and get a piece of his jumpshot.  He follows through and almost smacks the defender in the face.  he has done antics like this his whole career, like a frustrated child, and has done it twice this year to get suspensions.  Once to manu ginobli where he almost broke his nose and one to marko Jaric where he gave him a nice shiner.  

Is he doing this on purpose?  Should he be getting these suspension?  

Point?

no point, just proud of the guy.  I havent looked it up but i dont think he ever won one before.  i know he didnt at usf and dont think he did at Long Beach.  So congrats to the old ball coach.  

But the real point of the thread is to make Greg look bad...let's keep it going.  It'll help with his street cred.

Maybe I should start a thread chastising everyone for doubting Greg and demand an apology from them...

And you say I have a man crush on huggins.  HA!

Agree.

We must really have a self-confidence problem.  The guy has a good season in a mediocre (at best) conference and we're not good enough for him?  I don't buy it.  Drop the right loot on him and promise him he can have the same same success on a larger stage and I don't see why he'd pass on the opportunity.  

Kentucky is a career killer, ask Tubby.  This guy needs to think about that.  USF would be a nice move, even though he's a stinkin' gator.

I wouldnt say the Colonial is mediocre at best.  Id give them a little more credit than that.  But I agree, i dont see why he wouldnt take this oppurtunity in his home state if we threw money at him and used the BE as a selling point. .  maybe he can get that guy who got the triple double in the Florida All star game to come here instead of VCU as well.  

I say we send the Bulliever over to VCU to give Anthony a talking to.  I will put up the cash for the plane ride, but you guys have to pay for his expenses for I hear he likes to kick back on grandpas old cough medicine and frequents strip clubs for afternoon buffets and champagne rooms.  

Seth and Va Tech just won a NCAA tournament game

UCLA? cmon lets not give him that much credit just yet.

Why only 5% because he said he had no interest.  like the article stated of course he is going to deny rumors of leaving the team he has built a bond with a has taken into the tournament.  I dont kow what the percentages are but he grows on me more and more every game i see him coach.  

Ive been promoting him for weeks now.  i think they beat Oregon and walk into the sweet 16.  may be a while before we can interview him, if we do at all.  

Would be a great hire.  

Yea, the NFl is usually big on drafting guys who had one huge game in their collegiate career and not much before or after that.  The NFL loves players that didnt make the 1st or 2nd All Big East team and wouldnt have made the 3rd or 4th either their junoir year.  The NFL loves guys who didnt finish in the top 10 in conference in receptions or receiving yards, while 2 other receivers on his team did in at least one of those categories.  The NFL wants the 2nd best reveiver on USF.  i dont care if Amari thinks he should be drafted and said he was going to test the waters, there is no way he makes it in the NFL (and im usually favorably biased when it comes to usf players going to the pros), maybe in Europe but not here.   I think Huey Whitaker is built for the NFl over Amari.

Wouldnt be a HUGE loss to some of us because last year we were expecting a break out season and he was non-existent.  

alligator arms - when a receiver goes across the middle and shortens his arms to embrace a hit.  Seen amari do it like 10 times last year.  

Sorry if some kid on our team holding his nuts immaturely talking about usf and not comng back upsets some of us.  how dare us.  You can support those actions all you want, i wont.  Was he a huggins recruit?

Imagine we had Zabian Dowdell.  Guy is from Florida and went to Blacksburg, VA.  Can't say i really blame him, seems to have made the right choice.  

We need Gregg marsall, Winthrop is going to beat Oregon and walk to the sweet 16.  He can turn our roster into winners.  

small town ignorance.  I have trouble supporting someone who would do something like that.  Just because you are a character doesnt mean you have character.   I wish Ean Randolph was coming back.  

Go BULLS

Maybe __Eats It got into his facebook account.  

He is the Randy moss of usf, without the talent.  See ya alligator arms.  

No thanks.  

No, right when I read the April Fools line (disclaimer) I realized it was a joke, told them, read your article, made fun, then got back to work.  

See "dumber than rocks", now your back on your funny path.

First off I was called and told Jerry Tarkanian was just hired.  I was in a meeting with about 4 people and told them all.  Two of us got up (the other 2 surprisingly couldnt give 2 craps about usf basketball) jumped to the internet checked espn.com, gousfbulls.com, foxsports.com si.com and nothing, then I went to the bullspen.com.  The only one that had the story was this medium, surprising.  I then saw the April Fools line and had to explain to the guys it was a poor attempt of humor.  Now these guys are unbiased and have no clue who you guys are and either said nothing, or had some disgusted look on their face and said thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  True Story.  Im just saying, not because i care what thos guys thought or said but maybe you guys arent as cool as you think.   Im just saying.

Eats it i always enjoy your clever and humorous post but this was silly.  

Hermie the wormie --  just looking out for some of his buddies
