  1. Big win! Is this our highest ranked win for the Ladies team?
  2. I was not a fan of St. Felix. He had one good game early in his first year then disappeared until the last game of the year. Way too many drops. Horne was a one game wonder and became a fan favorite. I hope he gets the shot at the Olympics as he wanted, but has not been effective since the injury. Hope they both find spotssomewhere
  3. I could see him going to U of Hawaii or a school where he could start immediately. The guy wants a shot to prove he can still play. With Gabriel there not a chance he will get that opportunity.
  4. You would still need to hire a couple of experienced executivesthat know what they are doing until your new, inexperienced people learn and understand the business. No way you run your business with a majority of kids right out of school. Same applies here. The long term nucleus needs to be incoming freshmen recruits. However, a few experienced, physically mature, transfers can plug some holes.
  5. Good team effort. Baylor’s D was tough. i think this game shows we can hold our own against anyone. Not sure what is needed to go from holding our own to winning games against top 10 teams.
  6. Some the passes have been lazy floaters. ladies seem to have caught the men’s scoring drought disease.
  7. I think after this year and seeing how small we were at certain positions and now understanding our lack of overall depth we definitely need to fill in the gaps with a few transfers until the younger guys develop. Scott got here rather late in the recruiting year so I am sure he didn't fully understand what the immediate needs were. Also, a couple of expected contributors opted out of this year so that made matters worse. Need a bigger, every down back. Lineman on both sides of the ball that are fully developed, a couple of LBs and secondary guys.
  8. I agree. JB is extremely inconsistent. He misses a lot of wide open 3s. We miss a lot of wide open shots from everywhere on the court. Including wide open lay ups. we desperately need scorers
  9. Realistically, does this look like a .500 team? Still early and lots of new guys, but I dunno. We may be deeper, but I am not seeing much difference from last year.
  10. Our big men look a bit lost with the ball. They really don't go up strong to the basket. Perhaps they will as the season goes on.
  11. I will add Townsell to that group. I think he has potential.
  12. I don't think anyone has anything against McCloud personally. If he continues to play as the same high level as we saw against UCF I cannot imagine anyone will complain. If he reverts to his inability to move the offense we need to look at other guys.
  13. Hoping it is another NAIA team. We need a lot of positive reinforcement and wins before we get to conference play.
  14. I get what people are saying about Beattie. I just can't see building an offense around 180lb guy. He looks elusive, but he needs another 25lbs. We need a guy that can pick up tough yards at the goal line and 3rd down.
  15. Every year I say "Don't sucked into the hype" of USF Basketball. No need to say it this year. I think what we saw vs the NAIA school is what ya got this year. The girls won by 38. Thats the team to hitch your wagon to.
  16. We are playing the brand of basketball to which we have become accustomed to watching. I am really not surprised. Despite the hype of being improved.
  17. He will go into the season as the starter. If he plays like yesterday we are fine. If he can't move the offense you have at least 2 other options with experience.
  18. In my opinion you need to work up front on both sides of the ball. First, OL needs to hit the weight room. Need to get stronger. Need to add depth big time. Also need to upgrade. DL- need to add two pass rushers that can actually be disrupters. Need the portal here to make an immediate impact. Need a couple of impact LBs. I could be wrong here, but weren't we expecting a couple of transfer/grad students to be impact guys, but they opted out? I actually feel OK in the secondary if everyone comes back healthy. Not having KJ and Davis hurt us yesterday. We need 2 RBs that are 200lb to 220lbs. Battle and Joiner can be nice change of pace, but you can't build an offense around 170lb guys. We also need backs to pick up the 235lb blitzes. Most importantly you need the guy that can power ahead to pick up the 2 to 3 yards when needed. Need another QB from the portal. Need a couple of more bigger, fast receivers. Especially with Dukes moving on. If Scott wants to run the Clemson type offense you need big bodied guys. I think Scott needs to study up on in game management. The onside kick at that point yesterday was dumb. I also think the fake punt play call was dumb. Just line up and run the play. I I think some of his decisions this year have caused us opportunities to be more competitive at the end of a few games. I think better situational play calling could make a difference in a few games next year. This year's disaster was a result of several things. Guys opting out because of Covid is not talked about, but hurt us, Covid issues were real considering we were lacking in depth and talent anyway. I would like to see what Fortin has. Despite one good game, I am not sold on McCloud as a playmaker QB yet. I think the coaching staff needs to study up and get smarter as well. Lots of work to do all around.
  19. Ok, you go to your office tomorrow morning to start planning for next year. Who are you building the offense around? Where do you begin on to try to put something resembling a defense together? Where do you go from here?
  20. USF needs to open the weight room tomorrow morning. Getting prepared for next year needs to start immediately.
