Gransberry is suspended? Could I have a lihk? I picked him to be the leading rebounder in the basketball prediction thread and if he's not playing ill not only have to change that but I might be picking Cleveland State. I was picking USF by 9 with Gransberry but without their best player it could be tough, we're not a good basketball team yet.

Um, yeah.

Take a look at this from the Prediction Contest Thread, Mr. Hitler.....

USF

9

Solomon Bozeman- 19

Kentrell Gransberry- 11

76%

A real non-bandwagon fan would know that there is no way that Gransberry will have 11 rebounds in a game he is not playing.

That can't be right. You should be able to edit selections right up until tip-off ....

for what it is worth-- which is admittedly not much-- I think we should cut CRM some slack. When he was hired, he thought he was heading to the CUSA conference, not the Big East. I recall reading that after he was let go him saying something along the lines that had he known USF would be in the BE, he would not have taken the job.

CRM simply was not (and may never be) ready for that level of coaching. He admitted as much. And even if he was downplaying his own ability, having that attitude will get you nowhere fast.

That's one (among many) reason I am so happy to get a guy like Heath into our program. Instant credibility. This may be the toughest job in college hoops coaching-- but we may just have found the guy who can get it working in the right direction.

Oh-- and let's not assume that happens this season. Give this man plenty of time to put together a team.

Go USF-- Beat the Cleveland Steamers!

I agree Heath will need some time to clean up the mess. I think we will get 5 wins in the Big East this year though. We will see some improvement, but the future is bright.
