Had 33 points vs Kennesaw State with 10 three pointers This is where we are - third-team all conference PG in the A-SUN. His PG at Kennesaw was second team, but I guess he wants to stay at Kennesaw instead of joining our mess. UNF played a handful of “name” programs last year - Gonzaga, Houston, Washington, Kentucky, Pitt. In those games, Placer shot 4-24 from three. Sounds more like our kind of guy.

Don’t think this guy is coming to start, but we will see. I mean this guy basically is building from scratch and needs starters and bench, and not like he has much to sell at USF other than sunshine and playing time. Our record as a basketball program is pretty dismal. If this guy is to work out here, he is going to have to start from zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fine with Robinson leaving. He won’t get off the bench at UVA. There’s just not much to his game from what I’ve seen on video. He outsized the high school competition he played and just dunked on smaller guys. si.com Edited April 29, 2023 by Dave_Glaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may get a few minutes playing defense because of his size, but otherwise he won’t get off the bench at UVA. They can have him. His game right now is very limited. Tobiloba is basically the same kid at this point. It’ll all be about development with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree if we are going anywhere with the new Coach, he will have to develop players and if he wins we can then attract higher rated kids. But right now our basketball program is a big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel, Walker, Hines, Youngblood, Stroud, Tchewa is decent nucleus. Need to add Kobe Knox to that and fill in around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re out there. Our previous staff never found them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
