That’s crazy the way Caar and Youngblood were I didn’t see this coming. I still think the grass is not always greener on the other side, maybe they will get some money but might end up not playing.

Thanks Judy We're younger than those teams/programs. Problem is more about the fact that we sucked for so long and seemed to have no real vision for athletics Thanks Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After how well both Chris and Selton played, those guys are going to get more $ from bigger programs. It sucks! This is life in the blue bloods too. College ball ain't the same game anymore. College players are basically free agents and are chasing NIL money and playing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s unfortunate, but football is where nearly all of the money needs to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust MK to be able to keep the momentum going as long as USF doesn’t make him use a hiring search firm lol. The good news is that many other coaches & players saw that winning can be done at USF Maybe CAG can coach Basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that year, and how the immediate future was lining up, this is kind of a gut punch ..... akin to Byrum hitting the portal this year. Key will be how much more we lose ..... although could have sworn I heard that one of the tournament teams didn't have any returning points from the previous year, so it can be done, but don't want to have to. For real pity party stuff, see the "Thanks, Judy" insertions ...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
