Well, now it's gotten interesting...

Not much of an offensive explosion by the Bulls so far today.

Man penny can recruit that portal I’ll give him that, you can say what you want about him but players like him.

All except for the 4 Tigers who've entered the other end of that portal ....

It may be telling when the coach's son is one of those hitting the portal.  Or it just may be that he can read the writing on the wall.  That would be an interesting conversation to overhear:

"Son, I love you, but you got to move on...."

There is no way in hell Mrs CAAR approves a move from Tampa, FL to Fayetteville, AR ....

Yeah, I remember when my soon-to-be bride left her position at USF and one of her possible opportunities was at Arkansas.  I told her simply:

"Darling, I love you and I would follow you a lot of places.  Arkansas is not one of them."

We didn't pursue that any further.

Looks like we will still see this guy next season 

Tulsa transfer guard PJ Haggerty, On3’s No. 2 overall transfer portal prospect, is officially off the board and headed to Memphis. He says he chose Penny Hardaway and the Tigers over Texas, Kansas State, and Providence.

Guess he’s not interested in any coaching.

Maybe he knows whose next in line.

I would love playing them at their place one time.

I have vacationed in that area multiple times and it's absolutely gorgeous. Their campus and Football stadium are very picturesque as well.

Drove thru their campus on one of our vacations up in that area. Nice area.

A little over an hour's drive north of me and they have recently opened a campus in my new hometown of Hickory.   I went to their home opener last season.  It was fun but now I'm holding out for them to play some games here (JK).  They did for play men's basketball in Hickory.  That didn't go so well as they lost to UNC Asheville.  So they may not be back.

Not to be disrespectful, because I believe they are in growth mode with fans, but the real measure is how well the athletes are compensated. 

Here's an approximation on our funding compared to other schools in conference: 

NIL Collectives – American Athletic Conference Schools – Listing of all NIL Collectives & Revenue by School

NIL-NCAA.COM

 

I'm suspicious of how ECU is shown in the lead and how they may be compensating its players.

Since we are playing this year in Boca, maybe we can get Syracuse to sub in for FAU.  I'd trade an Owl for a squeezed Orange any time.

I looked at all the teams on our schedule and looked at their returning production. USF is ranked #17th at 77% and is returning the most production. Our defense is returning 68% of their production. And you know what 32% is not coming back? A majority is the secondary I refuse to believe that this team will end up 8-4 or 9-5. GTFOH with the bull-krapazoid!!! With the new transfer portal, it is going to be the teams returning the most production that have more success.

Predicted Record: Un-Duh-Feeted!!!!....I see no more than 2 losses "if" we lose a game.

Aug 31 Bethune-Cookman W 

Sept 7 at Alabama 44% and a they have new coach - W

Sept 14 at Southern Miss W 

Sept 21 Miami W - 46%

Sept 28 at Tulane W - 56% and a new coach

Oct 11 Memphis W - 69%

Oct 19 UAB W - 66%

Nov 1 at Florida Atlantic W - 42% and no more mu'freakin Lajohntey Wester to torture us!!!

Nov 9 Navy W - 68%

Nov 16 at Charlotte W - 61%

Nov 23 Tulsa W - 44%

Nov 30 at Rice W - 73% but lost QB JT Daniel and WR McCaffrey.

@panchosanchez99 This is why I think they will go undefeated, but we need your magic in making it really happen 

Someday, someone will explain to me in simple terms even I can understand how this scientific good joo joo works. But hey, I'm all for it.

10-3.  Go Bulls!

Weren’t CBG and CJS friendly?

There's friends, and then there's friends with benefits.   Let's just hope it's the fans who reap the benefits this time.

After back-to-back huge wins in the Boca Bowl and USF Spring Game, and our dominating championship in men's basketball, we're a shoo-in to any conference of our choosing.

Very cool.  But I am hoping this is just the first of many shining moments.

Go Bulls!

Was gonna keep my ESPN+ to watch this team, but . . . nah.

I left my heart (almost literally) in Austin circa 2021.  Haven't been able to summon Bulls baseball enthusiasm since.

And people thought the big 12 was the best hoops conference this season. Welp! Not anymore after all of their teams got eliminated & none even made the Elite 8. 

Lets not throw stones, the American did not fare well either.

Only because they didn't select the Regular Season Champion Bulls.  The SEC, Big 12 and every other conference and team were clearly waaayyy overrated!

I would expect anyone with his height an talent to test the waters and see if there is the fabled "Bigger Better Deal" available.  I wish him the best no matter what he chooses to do.

NOW STAY!

Go Bulls!

But the more others think of us the more opportunities and money that we get and in a world of big money amateur athletics that’s all that really matters.

Yeah, while I truly don't give a FF, I don't think you can beat your chest about USF being AAU and being attractive to Big Boy conferences and not really care what other programs think of you.

CAAR’s name is going to show up on a lot of these lists - some of it may be real, most of it will probably be journalist agent BS (because they have to report get paid for something)

Minor edit.

A lot of people wouldn't be doing their jobs if he wasn't considered and mentioned for the Louisville vacancy, among others.

There are a lot of reasons the USF job is attractive:  Location and lifestyle, no income tax, good facilities, winnable conference, etc.   In the end though, business is business.

He reminds me of these guys on Youtube that "predicted the 2008 crash" but predict a crash every year forever.

Make one different, outlandish prediction every day and you'll be right eventually! Then take credit due to your "sources". Easy win.

He always seemed more concerned that the players' jerseys were tucked in than whether they played well.

I knew we were in trouble when he said had he known USF was going into the Big East, he wouldn't have taken the job. 

I liked the old UCF Arena that they dubbed "the Garage."  Seemed a more fitting place for the Knaggits to reside.

It was good to see a healthy USF fan contingent on hand to back the Bulls.
