He adds defensive tenacity that i don't know exists in the others.I honestly hope that there is cause for optimism but I fear playing in the toughest league in the country will have us scrambling for moral victories.I agree the wins will not come very often, but they will come.

He'll, at the very least, be sharing time early in the season at the point (with sills gone). And also splitting time with Holmes at shooting guard.Youth, Size and depth are going to hurt us this year, but i am happy with the talent we have on the floor, especially knowing the guys we have coming in. This year is a building block year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I get to "storm the court" whenever I want to... football fields are a bit harder to work that out with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Florida was a bad team last year in Conference USA. Its best three players graduated, and its most promising returning player turned pro in Europe, and its preseason starting PG, David Sills, was kicked off the team this week. Final analysis: South Florida will be a really bad Big East team. http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/9017076I can't really argue with that. I'm just hoping we don't regularly lose by 20 and manage to grab a few wins from the other cellar-dwellers.People are going to get sick of losing fairly quickly. This is essentially a honeymoon season for McCullum, we will need to show improvement in subsequent seasons or I will be calling for his head.
