Bunch of online sites have CAAR as a potential hire at Arkansas. The job just opened up. 

Penny’s son just entered the transfer portal.If they grab Miguel, maybe we can scoop him up? Lol  

Man I really hope he doesn’t go to Memphis. Penny’s son replied to his post, if he does go there I hope we blow them out next year. Man penny can recruit that portal I’ll give him that, you can say what you want about him but players like him.

Looks like he was doing it against the boozer brothers which are both top 20 recruits, the taller one in top 5 in the nation. 

I’m pretty sure he will be starting at center next year unless we pick up another big guy. We needed him this  Season. He is a solid big with good size at 6’11 and good weight that can finish around the basket. 

Hopefully everyone else on the roster comes back and we can see what we can do next year.

CY stuck with Amir across programs 

Hope he sticks around

Best is yet to come

However the portal gaveth him and the portal may taketh 

He’ll probably enter the NBA draft to get a review to see where he’s at. I don’t think he will leave/transfer but who knows these days.

and are a terrible match up for us. 

I agree, We need a tall big with some muscle to match up with them. I’m sure they will be picked to finish top 3 in the league along with us and Memphis probably.

So how many scholarships we have to give? Kinda quiet in our camp as to getting players to get us into the dance next year. Then again all our conference opponents losing their star players is really gonna make it easier for us. Only team to beat will be Memphis. 

UAB will return all the starters and players that played regularly. I wouldn’t sleep on a hand full of teams. UAB beat us twice this season.

I think he will enter the NBA draft without hiring an agent to see what he would have to work on to maybe be drafted in the future, but the transfer part I don’t really believe.

Of the nine players that we know we currently have next year, Mputu is the only big. I am guessing we will add others in the next couple months. If she is the starting big, it would be an upgrade at this position. Mputu had a 57% FG%. That is 12 % points higher than Evelien's, who missed a lot of easy shots around the basket.

If she had finished with enough attempts, she would have finished second in the conference in FG%. Last year, Dulcy led the conference at 58.6%. Think about that. If M'putu had the minutes that Evelien had, a lot of the close losses we had this year might have been wins.

She also shot 77% from the FT line, albeit on 13 attempts.

So, Bulls fans should feel comfortable to know that we should be better at the position next year. Add this to Sammie's return, an improved Levy and Blasigh, and a massive upgrade at point guard in Dembele and Thompson, perhaps the best two at the position ever at USF, and you have a team that will be tough to beat. Any other good players we pick up will just add depth to a very talented roster.

She’s good for her size, but this season the teams we played that had a 6’4, 6’5 big with good weight to them we got bullied inside.Even in the American no matter who was in there.She needs to add some weight/muscle, other wise we need a bigger center. The power 5 teams we play have 6’5 centers and up.

Makes since now with the senior night he took part in and everything, I think he told CAAR a long time ago about this. 
 

I’m guessing Miguel is entering the draft for feedback or transferring because they made it seem like it was his last year when he has one year left. 

I get that he’s from Miami, but it horrible to live down there. Great to visit and party but it’s not a great place to live in my opinion. Back when he was growing up it was way different then now. We will see I guess.

Coach said we will see how the roster looks next year depending on the feedback Miguel and KP get because scouts have been calling during the season asking about them.

I’m guessing they will declare for the NBA draft without an agent to see where  they are and what they have to work on if they decide to come back next year.

Well VCU deserved the win. We struggled rebounding inside and Miguel really had probably his worst game of season.

Still team fought hard till end. Great unexpected season.

Lets hope we keep coach and players and get some big man in portal

I agree really need a big man. If we can find a big that did what young blood did today we would be good. Youngblood played like a center posting up, offensive rebound and put backs. 
 

We really need a big that can score down low. Pryor can be our power forward. Maybe we can snag a solid big man in the portal.

Lucky for us, he is going to have to show that this season was not a fluke.  If he gets a little history here, in addition to what he accomplished prior, then yes, he will get offers.

If he has another great year and makes the ncaa tournament,He will be gone. You have to step in early or else we will be back to the old usf hoops.Up his raise now and bigger buyout, if he has a great year and he leaves it probably will be more then just money at that point, but we tried.
 

Man they have no respect for us no home game? We should have been a 1 or 2 seed in the NIT.

The new nit selection process is bs. This is not unexpected

You’re right I for got about the new rules, I’m surprised North Texas is in over charlotte.

Obviously you ignored what I said and failed to realize that what I explained earlier about a specific rotation explains what you think you saw. Again, if you go back and watch the games, which I know you will not do, CAAR had a pattern. The starting PG played the first 5 minutes or so of the half and then played the last 7 or 8 of the half. When Jose returned from his injury, Reid continued starting the next 7 or so games, including the Memphis and Charlotte games. Since Reid started, Jose played the middle part of the half and Reid returned to finish the half. This is why you think Jose got taken out. He did not get taken out because he was playing poorly; he was taken out because CAAR followed the same routine he had doing all year. CAAR stuck to this rotation strictly. There were a few exceptions, like on Friday when both were in the game at the same time towards the end of the game, but this was the rotation he stuck to all year.

I know you may not have noticed what I just explained, but based on what you have said, I know you were not paying attention because you said Jose did not take 3s. I can't believe you said this because he was 3-8 this past weekend. If you were watching the games, how could you miss that he took 8 3s? As of today, he has an average of 38%, which is higher than his career average of 36% and the highest of any season in his career.

Well Reid out played him in every stat besides free throw percentage. Only reason Reid wasn’t in the game more is because he’s not 100% there yet but he did more then was expected of him this season as a freshman.

Actually, it was Jose that was in at the end of most games. CAAR had a set routine where Jose played the first 5 minutes of each half. Reid would then play until the 7- or 8-minute mark. Jose would then return for the remainder of the half.

In the post-game presser yesterday, CAAR was asked why Hines and Jose were not in at the end of the game. He said that he was not going to answer because he did want to be fined. So yes, there was a reason why he was not in the game at the end; and it is probably something different from what you are thinking.

Jose would eventually get taken out, like the Memphis game, charlotte game, SMU game, and lot of others.

He could have played a lot more if he would of produced more, he just didn’t. I watched every game. There was a couple games he caught fire but it might have been one or two.

Coach will not say this but the times he took him out were times that were very important in the game and he just wasn’t producing, so he put Reid in. 
 

I don’t have nothing against Jose he just didn’t produce the way I thought he would for one reason or another.

He showed enough. He was splitting time with Reid and was trying to play unselfish ball. In a post-game presser last week, CAAR stated that much. He said that Placer had the green light to shoot whenever he wanted at his previous school and made the sacrifice to be a part of what CAAR was doing. There were many occasions in many games throughout the year where he was open and passed the ball instead of taking the shot.

Didn’t show enough to me, there is a reason coach didn’t play him that much.Reid was usually in at the end of games for a reason.

Agree.  But if they made the dance, then he’d coach? SMH

I think he’s just done with that team, he will probably have a brand new roster next year. He picks up pretty good players through the portal, they had the best players on one team in the aac, just not the best team. 

I want temple to win and rematch uab in the NIT 

I’m a temple fan tomorrow really pulling for them. I hate UAB, I will be watching tomorrow.

He also said his  mother is in the hospital with throat cancer and he is her only care taker.

If FAU wins tomorrow and gets the AQ, is there any chance in hell we get in without a Quad 1 win?  I think I know the answer, so I'll be watching the NIT show at 9:30 tomorrow night.

If there is any chance in the world we get in, it would if that happens. That Tulsa lost hurt us bad, I think if we won that one we would be in for sure.
