f you’ve followed college basketball closely the past 20 years, the name Kenny Anderson is one you know.

Nearly every major school in the nation coveted Anderson in the late 1980s when he was coming out of New York’s Archbishop Molloy High School.

Anderson ended up signing with Georgia Tech, and later teamed with Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver to form “Lethal Weapon 3†as the trio led the Yellow Jackets to the 1990 Final Four.

Anderson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft, later played for nine teams during a 14-year NBA career, mostly with the New Jersey Nets and Boston Celtics.

The 39-year-old Anderson is scheduled to visit USF this weekend to talk with executive associate athletic director Bill McGillis and Bulls head coach Stan Heath about getting into college coaching. He also plans to attend USF’s regular-season finale at the Sun Dome against Connecticut.

The Bulls don’t have a current opening on their staff, but Anderson considers USF a program on the rise and would welcome an opportunity at USF. His wife, Tasha, graduated from USF in 2001 and she is now a clinical social worker at a Miami hospital.

Anderson also has plenty of ties to the New York-area, a major recruiting hub for Big East programs. He was inducted into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008 along with Sam Perkins and Rod Strickland.

Kenny was awesome. Not sure why he turned into such a journeyman? At any rate, would be great to have him here.

His name alone would be a great asset in recruiting guards.

+1 - but also in recruiting every position ... he played in the Association for a long time.

That is a big name to have associated with USF. 

Our point guard play would improve tenfold.

I hope they find room for him on staff.  This could definitely be a big boost.
