I love these pieces Jim Louk does about moments in USF history

He’s one of the most familiar faces of USF basketball, and still attends games frequently. He’s the third leading scorer in program history and was one of the leaders of the two USF NCAA Tournament teams. He led his team in scoring in each of his four seasons. He was an Academic All-American with a 3.6 GPA. He was a first team selection in both the Sun Belt Conference and the Metro Conference, and he once hit eight three pointers in a game against Florida.

Meet Radenko Dobras of the Kansas Jayhawks.

It was this close.

Only a sudden reversal after a call from USF took the 6-foot, 7-inch sharpshooter away from the plains and to Tampa Bay.

Even though they eventually took Dobras sight unseen, Bobby Paschal and his staff had done plenty of homework on the kid from Europe. A USF professor had led them to a person in Germany who had seen Dobras play. That led to a contact with a coach in Yugoslavia and eventually to Dobras.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
