I think Pryor has the best shot because of his size. He can score against and defend short and tall players.

He must’ve had intermediate size players most of the season then.

the visibility at USF will never match Power Conference schools. i love this school & its athletics programs & have for over 2 decades but let’s be realistic. nationally speaking USF was a cute late season story. when the media talked about it they talked in generic terms about the team/program but rarely mentioned players by name & they hopped on it so late the run was over within a week or two of it finally breaking as a blip in national reporting… & it *always* came with the caveat that the computers hated USF & there was no way to make the NCAAT short of winning the conference tourneys auto-bid so even positive coverage was mitigated by negativity about the quality of competition USF was playing.

USF has fewer nationally televised games against lesser competition with all but a cap on postseason potential being the NIT. ppl just dont take wins over Tulane, Temple & East Carolina as seriously as wins against pretty much any Power Conference schools, so his contributions beating those teams for another season wouldn’t be as valuable as winning against opponents on a Big 10 or ACC or even Big East schedule.

similarly, nothing compares to the exposure of being a key rotation player on even a decent NCAAT run.

& again, the NBA is not the only option. overseas scouts are more likely to see nationally televised games from Power Conference teams.

again, i love USF but u just cant compare the benefit of playing for a midmajor to that of playing for a Power Conference & cant blame Pryor or any other player from gambling on themselves.

You missed my point. Ask Brian Battie how much visibility he got last year and if he thinks he would have had more at USF.

True.  I don't think players will regret taking the money, but the grass isn't always greener and sometimes it's better to be the big fish in a small pond.  I do players realize their mistake later on (I know some girls who have transferred colleges for basketball and none are happy-- equal or less playing time, credits not transferring, not close-knit with other players, etc.  All of them have transferred multiple times and it just becomes ridiculous and none of them have the credits to actually graduate.  They've screwed themselves.)

Some say that money is a medium of exchange for value...

Money, get back.  I'm alright, Jack.  Keep you hands off of my stack.

 Bingo! It depends on how we deal with it. Make that money but don’t let it make you……

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
