All I know is, in watching film and reading about the newcomers, this looks like a group of basketball players - NOT just run and jump athletes. That gives us a better chance. Greene is a solid D1 guard who did a little bit of everything at George Mason. He scored. He rebounded. He led them in steals. Patrick (43.9), Boggs (43.9) and Greene (37.5) all have proven ability from beyond the three-point line. Walker falls into the blue-chip category (top 75 prospect nationally as a HS senior). Tchewa (7-0), Matos (6-9) and McCreary (6-8) give us size, toughness and fouls to give inside. Hines reminds me of Fred Lewis from back in the day from the film I've seen. Murphy and Chaplin should take a step forward, and Moss may end up being the best of the bunch before his career is over at USF. I'm not saying they're going to get us an NCAA bid, but if they develop some chemistry by the time league play starts, this group shouldn't be an automatic W for anyone. Let's hope they play with a chip on their shoulder.

Still…if we go .500 I’ll be happy and surprised.

I'm glad to hear we got transfers worth cheering for. It was a pretty messy off-season, and we need a men's USF squad to 'do something!'

I’ll take it

That OOC schedule give us a pretty good shot at .500 overall as long as we don't crap the bed in conference

[bcgruber]

I think we will be over .500  too much talent on this team coming in.

And, historically, we always perform better when the expectations are low.

Has MBB ever had high expectations going into a season? Seems like we've spent 30 years being fodder and surprised a few times.

I think 2019 was the closest until .....................

Don’t think we will finish last as he predicts

Would appear that some of these transfers are more talented than a couple(or 3) that we lost?? I think CBG was not only dealing with the whole plague issues but he had some attitude problems on that team. maybe the player vs asst coach added to it?? Like football, we aren't going to know anything until two/three games are played. Tough to watch video of the current drills and get much out of it.
