South Fl Transfer
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
Spent time today at work with Todd Galas. He is USF basketball radio broadcaster. I asked about MCMurray. He said he was a real nice kid, good in the locker room. Said he can flat out score.
I asked about the 6 game suspension. He basically said kid made "a stupid mistake." He didn't want too elaborate. But reiterated that how good of a kid he is and "kids make mistakes".
Seems the kid is transferring cause of the direction of the program. Not cause of suspension....... and Antigua was fired today. Also noted he is real close with his HS coach in Kansas.

As the Springsteen song says: "One step up and two steps back"
Is this glass half full scenario out of the question? Simon will be utilized at small forward next year and LoVett intends to stay one more year leaving 80 minutes of playing time for the three small guards.

I'm in the minority on this but I believe McMurray would be a great addition for this team. First of all, reading the inside info from another poster that he is actually a nice kid and the suspension was out of character is the most important thing. In addition to that, on the court I believe he can help in a number of ways:
1. He averages over 15 per game for his career so you know he can play and put the ball in the basket at the D1 level. I know his shooting percentage isn't great but that's what happens when your the best player on a bad team. South Florida's RPI has been north of 200 the past 2 seasons.
2. Also, I don't believe it necessarily means LoVett is gone. LoVett is a true point guard, McMurray is a small shooting guard. If we felt LoVett was gone wouldn't Matt A and the staff go after a true point guard? I believe if anyones leaves after the McMurray addition it will be Mussini.
3. Therefore, if my opinion holds true I believe LoVett, Ponds, and McMurray compliment each other greatly. When LoVett, Ponds, or McMurray need a breather it won't be such a drop off in play. At all times we can have 2 of these players on the court, which is huge to keep the pressure on other teams.
4. Also, the McMurray addition could help us get Derrick Walker, who is becoming a must get player at this point because of his frame. Also helping keep the pipeline goin at Sunrise Christian.

Can't see Ellison performing as a 5th guard. Carries himself like he is best guy on the team
