The one prediction is from a KY "expert" with a 73% track record.

Not sure that would shock anyone. And if he goes to KY look for his brother to join him there. KY can pay him more in NIL than we do/can.

 

I'm not sure his brother joins him in KY, but he may very well end up there.   I will say, that watching this team play recently I at least think there is a chance that he comes here.  I just agree that the NIL opportunities are far greater there and he already left his high school team for an academy

I don't believe Kobe is Kentucky good yet. He's where he belongs. Karter, yes. Kobe, not yet.

I'm not even sure he belongs here, but we shall see.

If you mean Kobe, I think he's definitely USF good .....

I’m wondering what our record would be with this group, but not this coach, a year or two ago. We probably would’ve lost at Memphis. Probably would’ve lost the home game against Wichita. Probably would not have been successful at Temple. I know we blew out Florida State, but would that have happened a year ago? You have to give VPMK credit for this hire.

The early losses will hurt us in the Ken Pom rankings that help to determine the NCAA tournament, so we may have to win the conference tournament to get in. But those early losses served as lessons  and the lessons were learned. It’s gonna be a fun ride the rest of the way.

Going to be hard to leave & say no to CAAR.  Kids want to be part of something special that has not been done before. USF is positioning themselves to make a run at a Final Four in these next few seasons imo 

Woah now, you didn't tell us you got the GOOD GOOD Kool-Aid...remember, sharing is caring

Bulls at #123 in NET, up from #130 before the game.

But if they want the better player and he wants his brother to tag along I would not be shocked if they found some NIL money for him. May not get any playing time but he could get paid. Depends on what the kid is looking for.

That's easy ... he's looking to get paid

Well, with the previous coach, Pryor would probably be on the bench.
