Despite paying Antigua and Heath to not coach here next season, I think we probably could have got some "whales" to chip in for a "big name." The problem with USF MBB, at the moment, is that it's a total disaster. Hopefully, Gregory is able to pull this thing around. 

I don't think anyone was willing to chip in. For some, it would be perceived as a waste of money.

Heath had some good recruits.  Big mistake firing him.  That's what happens when the President who is an old lady gets to fire the coach.  She said at one time he got fired because he played boring ba

Since 1990 we have had 20+ win seasons twice.. Brian Gregory has won 20+ six time since 2003. While he may not be the superhero we want, he may be more than the one we deserve. Give him a shot.

Jesus Christ people!  Who the hell did you think we would really get?  We have no players, no history, etc.  Right now, this is a huge challenge of a job. Some of you think we can just go out and

How many of those do you think there are donating to USF that are into athletics?  Maybe 3 and they've done a ton in the past. And they have to be into basketball.

This guy is from the Izzo tree? If so, I'm down.

Trees are overrated.  

And for all the Sierra Clubbers, I mean in athletic coaching terms.

Actually the Calipari Tree is poison ivy. Stay away from it from now on. The Izzo tree has been good to USF when Heath took us to NIT and on brink of NCAA Sweet Sixteen!! Let's take another chance on the Izzo tree

Well if Gregory follows the history of Izzo's former assistant coaches he'll be getting fired after failing to produce a successful program. Gregory has already contributed to the firing history of the Izzo coaching tree once but maybe he can be the only one to break the trend. Being a fan I hope he can do just that.

The kind of "big name" we needed would have required a Phil Knight type whale. Gregory is as good as anybody who was realistically available to us ...

And don't forget!! USF was interested in Gregory years ago but I believe got turned down while he was the coach at Dayton. I believe that was before USF had the upgraded facilities. So if you look on the bright side, USF is sitting in a better position now than we were back then.

The kids that would be replacing the one and dones are on a different level. You can still get some solid talent that is looking for playing time.

I'm not saying you can't get solid talent, just that in basketball, early playing time is touted by nearly every school.

Except for a select few, almost every coach gets fired. If you only hired guys that hadn't been fired you'd be getting assistants like, ummm. fCOA.
