USF Basketball updates

[The Great 8]

I don't know Vega, I think the season hinges on the freshman big men being serviceable immediately. How can you feel comfortable with LeDay and Rudd as essentially the only frontcourt guys? (Omo is useless)

What I'm talking is they don't have to feel pressure to carry the load offensively right away because Rudd and LeDay should be the guys that can provide most of the points for the frontcourt. It's a huge difference for freshman Bigs that they don't feel pressure to be go to scorers right away. I'm confident that as the season goes on their offensive production will go up.

While we were watching the McNneese State football one of my fellow Bulls Clubbers who follows basketball more avidly than I do GUARANTEED post season play in basketball.  I can sleep well now.

I just hope we aren't putting unrealistic expectations on our freshman

 

The good thing is we don't have to rely heavy on our freshmen and can ease them into the flow. Egbunu and Perry just have to rebound and catch and finish. LeDay and Rudd should be the main scorers in the frontcourt to start the season. Zeigler can redshirt if he's not ready and so can Clayton if he's not healthy enough.

 

First the first time Collins has been able to workout with having to nurse an injury. We also have a talented and fearless backup PG along with scorer in Corey Allen. Like Rothstein said, if Aleem can have a good season shooting the ball then we are a very dangerous team to have to play because outside shooting is the only question mark they have at this point.

 

 

You still need the freshmen to play solid ball both on the offensive end and defense.  Two quick fouls and they are on the bench with not much depth behind them.  If I am an opposing coach I am going to drive right at them and do the best I can to get them in foul trouble.  Not trying to be negative just a concern.  I hope Stan is going to focus on the foul issues.  And yes we have plenty of scorers - at least on paper.  The schedule won't be quite as brutal so I am hoping for a good year.
