Ok, I don't know how I wasn't ready except I have been traveling and studying, but the USF Mens' Basketball Prediction Contest will start with the game: So, we missed the Alabama A&M game the other day. But we will start the contest with the Monday game. I'll aim to have the thread up tomorrow before football. It's a game by game slugfest, and I hope you'll participate. It has been fun in years past. Like last year, we'll have prizes for game winners and for about 4-5 categories of season winners. It's a marathon, I hop you'll play. Through the competition of a prediction contest, we all might learn a little bit more about our team. Go Bulls!

Triple B posted a topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
October 13, 2018 TAMPA, OCT. 13, 2018 – With just over three weeks remaining before the start of the regular season, USF head coach Brian Gregory and three student-athletes will travel to Philadelphia, Pa., on Sunday to take part in the American Athletic Conference Basketball Media Days, which will run through Monday at the Marriott Philadelphia Airport. Senior T.J. Lang (Mobile, Ala.), junior Laquincy Rideau (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and sophomore David Collins (Youngstown, Ohio) will join Gregory for the two days of events that will feature 29 student-athletes and The American's 12 head coaches.

Round one of Bulls Q and A, starting with the legend of the USF airwaves, Jim Louk. From GoUSFBulls.com: Since 1983, Jim Louk has been the voice of USF Athletics. Louk came to USF that year as the radio play-by-play announcer for the USF men's basketball team and served as the lead voice until the conclusion of the 1996-97 season. He then made the transition to football in USF's inaugural 1997 campaign, and still serves as the team's play-by-play announcer today. You've seen a number of his written features over the years as well. Questions for Jim can range from this season to waaaaaaay back in the beginning of Bulls Football. Jim's Q&A from last season Please get your questions in as fast as you can. Feel free to post them here or email using this email link. My goal is to turn the questions in to Jim be end of day Wednesday, August 15th. Thanks, Brad

MBB NEW IMPACT PLAYERS HAVE MADE NOTABLE PROGRESS FOR BULLS
BrassBulls12 posted a topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
NEW IMPACT PLAYERS HAVE MADE NOTABLE PROGRESS FOR BULLS After sitting out last season, three much-improved Bulls are putting themselves in a position to make a major impact for USF men's basketball in 2018-19.Guards Laquincy Rideau, T.J. Lang and forward Alexis Yetna have all have made huge progress in preparation for their first season of game action in determined second-year USF head coach Brian Gregory's program. Getting Rideau, Lang and Yetna into the mix for game action is an enormous plus for USF, which has been in the business of steady improvement since Gregory's arrival. In 2017-18, Gregory guided the Bulls to the program's first double-digit win season since 2013-14 and tripled the team's conference win total from 2016-17. Some good news on the MBB front. -
Long time no see/post/respond! A couple of buddies and myself have started a new Twitter account to cover sports news as a whole. As the Bull Alumni of the group I wanted to reach out to you all for support! We are all Tampa Bay locals and intend to make Tampa sports a little more of a focus if we can. Eventually we intend to start a podcast. Baby steps... As our following grows we hope to bring USF even more into the twittersphere and hope that support shows how dedicated our students and fans really are! Come follow us on twitter at Relaxing Responsibly_Sports Talk or @R_RSportsTalk Cheers all , Josh -Z-

Thought I would let you know since you may be killing time, waiting for Fall pracitce. The site's official gallery, BullsGallery.com, has been around for more than a decade, but has always floated out there mostly in obscurity. We will be bringing it in house to TheBullsPen.com. 2017 is transferred in, but quality control has to be done still, you can see the pics with this direct link to the 2017 galleries. Many more years to follow. Now it should be seamless to comment on an image, embed in post, share it across the site and social networks. Also, 2018 full galleries will be hosted here. As I move seasons over, they will be deleted from the BullsGallery.com domain. It will probably take a couple months to complete as I believe there are 13-14 thousand pictures.

LOVE AND BASKETBALL: COLLINS HAS A SUPER STRONG HOOPS BOND WITH MOM May 13, 2018 By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer TAMPA, MAY 13, 2018 – Instead of being like Mike, David Collins wants to be just like Dorothy. On this Mother's Day, the emerging star USF guard will likely talk basketball like usual with his hero and No. 1 fan, who remains the all-time leading scorer in Youngstown State women's hoops history. "I'm always trying to get past my mom," Collins said with a smile during the season. "She still thinks she's the best basketball player in the house." This debate will go on for Collins' next few seasons in green and gold while his close relationship with Dorothy continues to grow stronger with each pregame routine that always starts the same way. "He calls me and says, 'What do you think?' I'll ask him about the scouting report and just kind of go over his game plan," Dorothy said. "… It always ends with, 'I love you. Go out and do your best no matter what. You're going to have good things, you're going to have bad things. That's just life.'" Love and basketball have always been a part of Collins' lifelong bond with Dorothy that started to grow when he was an infant. The same goes for Collins' older sister, Doriyon, who played basketball for Division II Gannon University in Erie, Pa.. "From the time they were born, they were in their little basketball outfits," said Dorothy, a former power forward. "David probably started dribbling the basketball at 2 years old." By 3, Collins would be out in the driveway early in the mornings dribbling a basketball nearly the size of him while the neighbors marveled at his ability in Youngstown, Ohio. "We would just laugh at how he could control the basketball," Dorothy said. By the time Collins suited up USF, Dorothy was amazed by her son's enhanced ball-handling skills after spending the summer working in head coach Brian Gregory's program. By the end of conference play, Dorothy was a super proud mom after watching her son put together the eighth-best scoring season in USF freshman history (10.0 ppg). Collins finished second among freshmen in The American with 11.3 points per game in league play while ranking in USF's freshman season top 10 in field goal percentage (49.7, eighth), free throw percentage (71.7, ninth), made free throws (81, fourth), free throw attempts (113, fifth), assists (65, 10th) and steals (28, ninth). "He just exceeded all of the expectations that we kind of talked about from the start. In the beginning, we were just asking the Lord if he could just get some playing time," Dorothy said. "… Dave making the conference all-rookie team, scoring and coming on strong at the end of the season, it just gave us another target to go after. I'm very impressed." Rest of Story

Gregory Has Solid Returning Core in Place for 'Phase Two'
Triple B posted a topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
Gregory Has Solid Returning Core in Place for 'Phase Two' April 13, 2018 By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer TAMPA, APRIL 13, 2018 – In his first run with the Bulls, ambitious head coach Brian Gregory helped rebuilding USF men's basketball make impressive progress and he'll have a solid core of players in place for "phase two." Conference all-rookie team member David Collins proved to be a steadily-improving playmaker for USF in 2017-18, which saw the Bulls reach double-digit victories for the first time since 2013-14. Also this past season, Gregory found a trusty sharpshooter in Justin Brown, who worked his way into USF's freshman top-10 list for made three-pointers. "Playing two freshmen significant minutes this year is going to bode well for the future," Gregory said. "The experiences they gained this year are going to drive their spring workouts and their summer workouts heading into next fall." Big man Nikola Scekic (7-2, 250) just scratched the surface of his potential as a junior in his first season with the Bulls while reinforcements already on the roster are eager to take the court in real games. Eligible to play next season are three 2017-18 scout team standouts - former Auburn guard T.J. Lang, former Gardner-Webb guard Laquincy Rideau and forward Alexis Yetna, a member of France's U20 squad. "I think that one of the reasons we played better at the end of the year is that all three of those guys had gotten better during the year, so our practices were so much more competitive," Gregory said. Learn more about each player in USF's returning core and get Gregory's thoughts on each talented Bull below: Read on -
I haven't read it recently, but obviously it is the greatest sports book of all time, written by former Bulls basketball player Tony Grier. It is available on and off at Amazon for various prices - currently there is a copy for under $4.00 - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any Bulls fan that wants to learn about the program and Tony's story. From the book's page at Amazon: The book itself is an easy read. Tony did a lot to produce it. I noticed some editorial mistakes, but it didn't take away from the passion and storytelling of USF Basketball. Learn about the Florida Four and the effort to keep sports out of USF. Lee Rose's departure. Chucky Atkins drive to make the NBA. It was released about 10 years ago. It is in paperback form only as far as I can tell. Probably time for me to break it out and read once again. Tony was kind enough to send me an autographed copy for working with him and The Bulls Pen faithful to get the word out.

Maricevic will be a junior when he begins play in 2018-19 after competing for two seasons in junior college. "We are very excited to have Antun join our program," Gregory said.
