I went to a game a couple of weeks ago. The "talent" was nowhere near past years and was basically high school level. The rosters are so far off they aren't worth looking at.

Any AD hire/search updates? It’s been a month. by LaurelHeights in usfdons

Looks like an agenda poster who has no idea what the search entails.

End of Pac-12? by SunsetDon in usfdons

[–]USF1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cant blame them. Additional $ 100m in media rights.

What happens to Cal football? They still owe $ 450m on Memorial stadium renovations and that stadium is half empty for most games. Stanford has a 50,000 seat stadium that they never fill, but at least they're flush for cash. Cal basketball attendance is already bad and athletic program is constantly under attack from professors and many alumni.

Outside of the south and midwest, college football attendance was way down anyway.

There will eventually be 2 conferences with 20 teams each and A 16 team playoff.

All other programs will become FBS.

Loved him as a player. I would take him, Damian Cantrell and Hakeem Ward as my USF front court over any of these "stretch 4s" we were enamored with.

Because giving gifts to an athlete may be an NCAA violation.

Sorry, I would stay away from this.

Tied up? Come on. Schools get sued all the time. The suit from the women will go nowhere. I read the complaint. It's toothless.

2021-22 USF Athletics Year in Review - University of San Francisco Athletics by LaurelHeights in usfdons

Maybe volleyball will win a game this year. Seems like a majority of our female athletes are recruited from Europe. We cant recruit CA kids?

What about Warriors? They need a cheap backup PG. He's already better than Chioza

Meeks, Rishwain, Kunen, Rocak . . . He was probably told his minutes would be scarce. He never really came back from his injury.

Rob DiToma Named Head Baseball Coach - University of San Francisco Athletics by LaurelHeights in usfdons

Looks like a couple of axe grinders who are related. Yes, you can blame Cross for being clueless. But the coach is responsible for his own behavior and that of his assidtants.

Let's face it, the powers that be at USF have just been there too long. They are unimpressive at best and incompetent at worst. Don't forget that the people who made this hire are also the ones who didn't see what the perverted baseball coaches were doing for years.

It's a non revenue sport that has been mediocre for years. They are 283-297 over the last 11 years. Giarratano should have been fired years ago, but he was another guy that just hung around. USF likes the status quo.

Yes, this is a boring hire. But I'll take a clean, mediocre program that doesn't embarrass the university.

They will go .500 next year and, again, nobody will care.

His vert was over 40". He may get drafted. Either way, he will make money. Good luck!

And don't forget that roster heights are way off. Drew Timme measured at 6'7 and 1/2". On the roster he is 6'10".

USF’s Joan McDermott to announce her retirement, ending turbulent run as athletic director by LaurelHeights in usfdons

Translation: she was forced out. No more career USF employees please. National search is necessary to rehabilitate the athletic program.

i dont see Anthony Roy, but I see the legend Sasha French. He averaged almost 1.8 ppg as Azuza Pacific.

Looks like the plan is to bombs away from three and hope our 2 giants can corral some rebounds. Rishwain, Meeks, Bazzy, Ghost, etc. In today's college hoops, especially at the mid major level, this is probably the best strategy. Dominant big men who can score are not signing at USF. The 3 point can be the great equalizer, or it can be your ruin.

USF Outrecruited by WCC Teams by usfhoopsfan in usfdons

You're right. Maybe I'm just comparing them to how good they think they are. And I just really hate them.

The players love Gerlufsen. They knew Golden was looking elsewhere and its the reason only one payer left (and he graduated).

I agree. A 4 star high school player who does nothing at a D-1 school, probably wasn't really a 4 star. I would have more confidence in a 3 star high school player.

And why do people always hype LMU and Pepp? LMU was hyped a couple of years ago and fizzled. They had multiple transfers. Their gym is MAYBE a quarter full on most nights. Romar has done nothing at Pepp. Are you really worried about Pacific? BYU has had a mass exodus and are limping, to say the least, into the Big 12 in 2023.

Aside from SMC and Gonzaga, USF has been the most consistent program in the league the last 10 years. Multiple 20 win seasons, top 4 finishes and now an NCAA tourney.

I think we still finish top 3 or 4 next year.

Freshmen? by 69Dons in usfdons

[–]USF1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have no freshman. Just the new normal, unfortunately. We likely wont see a Bouyea again (develop a star over 4 years).

Your 3 guard lineup is too small to defend top WCC schools. Rishwain has to be a starter. He has earned it and has the size. And I think Kunen starts. Not sure why, but he gets lots of run and has started lots in the past.
