I really believe Manning will try and sell Wilbekin on playing a lot of off guard to try an offset the crowded position if he goes there. Meanwhile Coach O does not have an established PG and certainly that position is anything but crowded right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you what the USF fans on Twitter are sure expressing how they feel about Wilbekin signing with the Bulls. The tweet that has he and Troy playing together in the backcourt was one that caught my eye. That would be a young backcourt but with the potential to shoot it with range from both your PG and SG, sure gives Coach O many possibilities on his offensive sets he can install. If USF can also get a guy like Canty for this coming season or the next, then your backcourt really looks dynamic with shooters and play makers. Corey Allen should be a guy that benefits this coming season if USF can land a PG like Wilbekin who the defenses will have to respect for his offensive potential.

Kinda expect Wilbekin to end up there now. USF is still going to need a PG or two with the strong possibility that Collins is leaving soon. Also need one that has game which translates well to what Antigua is going to do even if by small chance Collins stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
