He is banking on the preseason trip to Italy to make a huge difference and to help this team gel quickly.He sadi he is looking forward to proving his doubters wrong.I dont know what the record will end up being, but I know the opposing coaches won't be looking forward to playing USF.His kids don't quit on him in the bad times, imagine what he can convince them of if they get on a little roll.All injuries are healed and he is in agony over the wait before they can get back on the court.

It's safe to say that Coach McCullum gets the most out of his players and they play with a ton of heart. It will be nice to see what he can do with more depth this season. I'm looking forward to it.

It wasn't just injuries and bad luck that has derailed his program. I'm anxious to see how this team looks like in December when everyone is finally eligible.

Who is paying for this trip to italy, who paid for the hawaii trip? How is going to italy going to improve our players? Save the money, practice in the dome and bring in some local ymca teams if they want to have some strong competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which has been a mixed bag ....Recruiting has been terrible. Player turnover has been embarrassing to be perfectly honest, not to mention the revolving door for assistant coaches. Remember we used to make fun of teams like Cincy who was known as Transfer and Juco Central. I like the team that CRM puts on the floor. It has more toughness and heart than anything Seth was able to coax out of his guys, but at the end of the day we have to win, and win consistently. He got another mulligan last year but the time for excuses on and off the floor are over. I want to hear the Dome rocking again. Some of you young guys have NO IDEA about how a sold out Sun Dome sounds. Back in the late 80s and early 90s ESPN and Sports Illustrated called it one of the toughest places to play for opposing coaches. It got that loud. Basketball games were an event and we had student groups such Death Row making headlines by antagonizing the crap out of Denny Crum, Bob Huggins and Gene Bartow. It can be like that again but the coach has to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
