Last Place Prediction from Russ Wood in BBall

[bcgruber]

South Florida

Losses: Javon Greene, Caleb Murphy (DePaul), Jalyn McCreary, Byron Matos (football)

Returning: Jamir Chaplin, Serrel Smith Jr., Russel Tchewa, Sam Hines Jr., DJ Patrick, Corey Walker Jr., Jake Boggs, Bayron Matos, Trey Moss and Mark Calleja

Newcomers: Tyler Harris (Memphis), Selton Miguel (Kansas State), Keyshawn Bryant (South Carolina), Ryan Conwell, Dok Muordor

2023 NBA Draft Watch: None

USF returns four starters, 59 percent of its scoring and 70 percent of its rebounding and 61 percent of its minutes played from last season. Brian Gregory improved his backcourt, at both ends of the floor, with Harris and Miguel. Bryant adds more experience, athleticism, offensive rebounding and gives the Bulls another player who turns defense into offense. USF should be even better defensively than last season’s top 50 team in scoring defense (64.9 ppg) but the Bulls must score the basketball MUCH better than last season’s 57.5 ppg in order to have the kind of season that excites its fan base.

Harris left Memphis ranked fifth all-time in three-pointers made. Miguel is very good off the bounce and can guard multiple positions. Bryant might be the most athletic Bull and can guard two through four.

We lost Byron Matos to Football, yep saw that, However a newcomer is Bayron Matos? This guy has no idea what we have this year but always a safe bet to pick us as the bottomfeeder. I hope Bayron has better feet then Byron, either way the season is coming up, I am already getting excited for what CBG has in store for us. #Go Bulls!

You completely missed the part where he said the teams were listed in order of were they finished last season. You should probably change the thread title.

Maybe I will actually try reading the article next time, either way I feel fairly confident we can repeat.

Actually he has Bayron as Returning not a Newcomer but still a nice catch ...... and weird that Wood made that faux pas. He's been pretty close to the program in the past.

Even though the title's technically wrong, not sure how anybody could not pick us to finish last until we don't ...
