Kind of comical that they off loaded paying the players to the fans, the result will be less fans. Eventually everyone has their limit, even die hards like myself reach it. I understand the argument that the powers to be only care about the bottom dollar and they will be fine however I see this going down like boxing, it simply disappeared. I will not throw a hissy fit, or yearn for the past, best to simply leave and move onto something else to enjoy until someone decides to ***** that up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m never going to stop being a USF fan so I don’t care if all the programs have nothing but a walk-ons. I’m still going to be here following USF athletics. Future is still bright despite the portal craziness. Go Bulls!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they've been mulling over offers and announced when they've narrowed it down or decided. 45 minutes ago, panchosanchez99 said: Transfer rules do not allow players to talk to schools prior to entering the portal.

Future is still bright despite the portal craziness. Go Bulls!! And on the positive side, I still think we have some good players with the ones remaining. For guards, we have Knox, Brown, Reid, and Jennings, which I think will be just as good as this year. And we still have Walker and Stroud. I think the Reynolds get is huge. I am surprised he has not been playing more minutes at his other stops. I like his shooting percentages. For his career, he is 67% at FT, 55% FG, and 5-11 from deep. He has not shot from deep much, but it looks like he can hit them. He may produce better than Pryor did. And I will take CAAR at his word when it comes to developing players. So, we may see a much improved Tobiloba. So, I would be happy with a Knox, Reid/Jennings, Brown, Stroud, and Reynolds/Walker lineup. That group would be just as good as any 5 we put on the court this year. And who knows whom we could get from the portal. I think we are in good shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a discussion best held when all the dust settles and we see who's actually here when the season starts ...... but do agree that even as it stands right now, we're not in that bad of shape.

Courts have ruled are making virtually impossible to enforce and regulate NIL. The free covid year and extra transfer year you don't have to sit out should have disappeared like the covid 24/7 death count coverage on CNN in 2021.

They way the players feel about the coach makes me wonder if all of these players would be leaving if the coach were staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monktified Posted April 11 Group: Member Topic Count: 20 Content Count: 170 Reputation: 90 Days Won: 0 Joined: 03/30/2014 Share Posted April 11 Kasen Jennings according to CAAR is a dude. We do have a solid core to build around. Reid, Jennings, Stroud, Walker, Knox, now throw in Reynolds and CJ Brown. We have a lot of points to make up with CY, Miguel, and Pryor leaving for sure. Let's see how the transfer portal plays out and our remaining roster fills out. I do not believe Carter Knox will come here, but there are tons of players that can fill that scoring void, my biggest concern is the leadership. CY held these guys together.
