I have watched just about every game.They can actually win against good teams if they can shoot a good percentage at the free throw line,that is the major problem right now. Gregory has been putting in the best free throw shooters at the end of games when they are winning which is a good call.Miguel is the go to guy when we need a shot creator, he is very good driving to the hole. Harris shoots the most and at times tries to hard which causes a lot of missed shots, but he is a streaky shooter which is good for us when he catches fire.Russel Tchewa is at his best when he catches it deep deep in the post, if he catches it to far out he misses. Bryant hasn’t played much lately as he’s been out, hopefully he can add on to what’s been going on.

Dion told the whole Colorado team go ahead jump in the portal, lol. That man has some balls and I like that . He knows he can get players. USF should of offered him 6 million a year what ever else he wanted.

I was talking to a friend of mine that use to be a assistant basketball coach at University of Florida. I asked him his opinion on USF basketball. He said it’s a very hard job and it’s hard to recruit players here. At this point we should of just kept Stan Heath, at least he took us to the tourney. Might as well just keep Gregory here and see if he can some how go .500 this year and go from there.

Is this steaming on the ESPN app?

It will be on the ESPN app but you have to log in through your provider. It’s not showing up yet because it delayed.

Probably the best point guard we’ve had in a while. He can shoot it, drive, and is very quick.His shooting percentage is good as well.

He should blend in perfectly we can’t shoot 3’s or free throws as it is.

What makes you believe this? Do you have some insight as to why Egbunu decided to leave? No he doesn't. Nobody has any idea why any of them have left, except for Josh and Hawkins ... Part of being a good recruit is being a good salesman.There might of been nothing the new coach could have done to keep him here, I just hope that he went all out to try to keep him. I hope Coach O didn't coming acting like he was all that and a bag of chips becuase he was a assistant at Kentucky.We don't see Kids like John picking to come to USF every year so it's hard to see a guy that will play in the NBA get away from us.

I love how some people are so positive, I mean we can't do anything about what's happening we don't have any control anyways. Keep it real though guys, So far not so good. If he is a good recruit he should have been able to keep Egbunu, which is starting to scare me that he couldn't do. I watched just about ever game last year and Egbunu will be missed on the court, I'm sure his stock went up since he was recruited in high school.He played hard and you could see all that potential. One thing is recruiting at Kentucky another this is recruiting here and winning here. Stan Recruited at Michigan State and won a lot over there but that didn't mean anything here.On that note, I would hate to see another bad see next year it was hard enough watching this year.

I saw this coming, I even mentioned some of this players transferring if Heath got let go. I honestly didn't think Egbunu would leave, I think that is a big loss. He wasn't great on offense, but he played hard and his Defense was something we really needed.If perry is staying, I hope he is hitting the Gym this summer improving on his defense becuase last year he was a fouling machine in foul trouble every other game. At this point we only have 2 big men left and Jordan Omogbehin is not very good, but I think he can be a decent player if some one can condition him and work on his mobility.

I don't think we have ever had people talk about USF basketball so much on national TV, MIKE & MIKE in the morning were even talking about it.

http://tbo.com/sports/colleges/usf-bulls/report-masiello-accepts-usf-basketball-job-20140325/ Manhattan College’s Steve Masiello, a high-energy, up-tempo Rick Pitino protege who just guided the Jaspers to an NCAA tournament appearance, has accepted the head coaching job for the University of South Florida men’s basketball team, according to multiple reports. There was no immediate confirmation today from USF, which fired seventh-year coach Stan Heath following a 12-20 season. USF retained Eastman & Beaudine, a Texas-based search firm, to identify candidates. According to a document, USF agreed to pay the firm $60,000 to search for men’s basketball candidates. The same firm conducted USF’s athletic director search, which led to UCLA’s Mark Harlan, whose first day on the job was Monday. Masiello, 36, was 60-39 in three seasons at Manhattan, including 25-8 this season, which ended with a 71-64 NCAA second-round loss against Louisville in Orlando. Masiello spent the previous six seasons on Pitino’s staff at Louisville. Previously, he was an assistant at Manhattan and Tulane. Masiello, a native of White Plains, N.Y., played at Kentucky for Pitino and Tubby Smith. He was a ballboy for the NBA’s New York Knicks when Pitino coached there.

A10 is currently a better Conference and Dayton has been a good basketball team, so I don't see why he would leave to come to USF. Also I think he wants to go Coach at a Basketball powerhouse like his brother at Arizona.

School are taking all the big name coaches out of the market. I hope we don't hire a Assistant, not saying they wouldn't end up being a good coach but it's just so hit or miss with hiring assistant coaches.

I hate to admit it but he makes a lot of good points. USF just needs to step up and get a good big name Coach, MONEY TALKS. A good example of this is SMU hiring Larry Brown, that is what a big name coach will do for a program.They are also paying the Assistant Coach/the coach in waiting 1 million a year.

My sister just got a call from USF asking if she wanted to Donate money I wonder if it's for this. LOL

We need a big name coach, that will give us the best chance to succeed the quickest otherwise we will be right where we started or in rebuilding mode in 2 or 3 years.If we hire a guy that was a assistant you don't know what you are getting, just because they were a assistant to a great coach doesn't mean anything. Look at Heath he was a assistant to Tom Izzo and our team didn't play or win like any of his teams.I think right now is do or die time so USF has to go all out.I mean they are wasting alot money firing coaches left and right, what's the problem with actually investing some money in a real COACH?I also think that this is not only a big moment for USF but also the American Conference, they need a team to step up and it could be us.

Pearl just took the Auburn Job

Losing 3 straight didn't help them, but they should of made it.

All this names just mentioned above are not impressing me. They are all just regular coaches which is probably the kind of coach we will get because we can't afford anything else. I don't really see what's so impressive about winning the conference usa tournament. The only thing that Danny manning has going for him is that he was a good college player and has played in the NBA. Unless he makes it to the sweet sixteen I don't think he will be highly sought after for just winning the conference usa tournament.

Me likey!!! Me likey a lot!!! You might get a no name coach to take that, but any big name coach would laugh at that. He would tell you $2 Million a year, $50K bonus to win conference title, and $500k bonus if he wins national title.

Keeping stays quo may cost us getting even better players. Well the problem is we never have been good at basketball and guys aren't throwing themselves at USF. So having John or Perry transfer would be a huge problem. Unless we bring someone with a big name we might still have a problem recruiting.

What recruits are you talking about?

WHAT ABOUT Seth Greenberg would anyone want him back ?? ?

Well I hope they have a Blank check ready, becuase if they want a big name coach it will cost them. First we are not known for basketball and second we can even get and fans in the stands.Even worst if John or Perry leave we'll really be in rebuild mode no matter who they hire.
