Nah - another naive take.

Yep, that's where the tool belongs.

Wrong... more "mid majors" and non football schools were doing better in hoops 30 years ago. There were more opportunities to break through. Now everything is working against mid-major/non football schools. Even the mighty Big East had a lot of disappointment on selection Sunday this past season.

But the system makes it nearly impossible to keep a team together for a long time. Keeping a core together for multiple years is becoming a thing of the past. As a result, we're not seeing better basketball.

Assistants should keep recruiting, building relationships and possible recruits for their next job. I have little doubt Forte was doing it while he was here - recruiting for his next job.

Larry was not expected, so not a big deal - but Kent was. Is it still hard work being a Billiken fan? The rumor of 3 seems unlikely. Get Cream! If it drags on beyond Thursday, that would be a bad sign.

Hopefully we get a commitment tomorrow and he can go ahead and cancel that visit to Drake. He had 5 double digit rebounding games in his last 9 games.

Tool! I think the fact that we were scheduling recruiting visits with several 4s was a sign. I'm really intrigued by the kid from Wyoming.

I remember being very impressed when we played against Manyawu. Very athletic and active on the boards. He had several double doubles, including against Texas. He doesn’t shoot 3s however.

Yeah, I'm not dismissing him - never seen the kid play and there are some impressive numbers, it's just the turnover thing is something that I'm sure he'd want to clean up. He had as many turnovers as assists.

Oh, please tell us! Who?

He had the second most turnovers/game in the country.

Christ!... Essandoko commits to Providence.

Look at the 3pt% improvement of Kent and Conwell this year from the prior year - that offers hope.

If I recall, Tate had a connection - Pryor spent a year at JUCO. He actually would seem like a Schertz player, but probably not a role here if Avila and Kent are on the way. The churning continues! USF actually had a pretty decent season. This was the opening line from a Tampa article about South Florida hoops: In the span of less than a week, the USF men’s basketball program has transitioned from resurgent to rebuilding mode.
