vent your basketball frustrations thus far, here.

This team has done a great job with what they have. Its just a matter of not having a big PF or C body on the roster but Jordan. The season has been fun and this is the first year of something great coming for the future with our new facilities and sweet recruiting class. I expect us to not do so well against conference play with the lack of size on our team (seriously Fitz played Center last game, that would not happen in any other BE team.)

Heath is the man and next year this team is going to be one of the better sides in the New BE from here on.

 

Just a question about what makes you think next season is going to be outstanding? Could you list the things that have you so positive about season?

I'm just looking for some good feedback and honest discussion, nothing else. I look forward to responding to your answers.

I bet its based on maturation of the existing players, who they have recuited and the hope that Baby Shaq will do more than imitate a skyscraper under the net.

Those are just a few teams that manage to do well rebounding w/o many or in most cases any HUGE MEN down low. There are some teams even smaller and some that lack athletic ability with or w/o height that manage to rebound well too.

The How to and the want to is what USF is lacking.

Sweet 16 this year or Stan must go ...

 

Wow I didn't know you had those expectations...Setting the bar a little high are we

I am going out on the limb and say Trip was being sarcastic.

You know rebounding is a skill, right? You can't just teach it per se. Some people are just better at anticipating where the ball will go and where they need to be.

Can I get an F U to the Harvard type academic committee??????????

[jonpfl]

I'm watching Waverly Austin on ESPN2 be an inside presence for the Ducks. A big F U to our academics committee.

Yeah, I watched him last night on ESPN2 and noticed how good he was inside.  What could have been!

It pains me to say that my man Toarlyn decided to just work on his 3 point shot this off season.  No post moves, no elevation, no rebounding.

You forgot overall defense as well. He gets beat way too easily.

-------------------

Last year he averaged a good amount of boards. His D was on point and he was a sharp shooter. Don't know what happened.

I said it earlier in The year that I was nervous last year was a big fluke and it seems it may be. Not even sure I see building blocks

Just asking to be competitive.

Screw the rebounding the most alarming thing to me is standing around on offense clueless hoping for miracles baskets.

Reminds me of 2 years ago.
