I don't want to be, but I'm now in the "Fire Frank" crowd. We need a change. But with a coaching change, we'll probably lose some players off this team who could come back for next season if they wanted to. Here is my wish list: Players I want on the team next season: The three signees...

It turns out that those who wanted Frank fired after last season were right. I wasn't one of those people, but now I am. Frank gotta go.

I think this game is over. We just don't have the players to be able to compete with any of the upper half of the SEC. Barring a miracle, we will lose to UK on Tuesday. I wanted Frank to be successful at USC, but I don't believe it is going to happen. He can't recruit players who are good...

We played pretty well in the first half. The difference is James for UT. He's making everything he shoots. Have to find a way to stop him in the second half. I think Minott is our best offensive center. He has good hands and is good on the pick and roll. We need to try to get him the...

I think we have to beat either UT on Saturday, or Kentucky on Tuesday. We are 4-5 in the SEC. If we go 4-7 that's an awfully deep hole to climb out of, and I wonder if we can do it. It would make things very difficult. Hopefully, we will find a way to win at least one of these next two...

I would love to win that game. Always like beating Rick Barnes and UT. I don't feel very optimistic about the game. A win is possible, but I think unlikely. We'll see what happens. Gray has broken a bone in his hand that limits the usage of it. That will hinder him rebounding and handling...

Frank is a good man and a good coach. Unfortunately, he has not been able to make the USC program into what most of us want it to be. I wish that were not the case, but it is. If the season plays out like it looks like it will, it is probably time to give someone else a try as coach. There...

I expect Tanner is waiting to see how the season turns out. I don't know what Frank's buyout is, or if that is something that would keep Tanner from replacing him. Hopefully, we'll all live to see what happens.

We were never really in that game last night. MSU started well and continued well for the majority of the game. Our man to man defense was ineffective. We did much better in the zone, but Frank didn't go to it until late in the game. Mistake on Frank's part, imo. MSU has better players...

I don''t have any new names to add. But after watching the game last night at MSU, it is obvious to me that we just don't have as much talent as most of the teams in the SEC. We got manhandled by MSU. They outrebounded us 41-24. I also think that our best defense is the zone that we played...

I watched some of the USC women's game tonight with A&M and I noticed how they played defense.   In their half court defense, both teams stayed inside the 3 pt line pretty much all the time and A&M really tried to guard the paint even more than USC did when I was watching (first half). ...

I have been a supporter of Frank since he got the job at USC.  I had hoped that the Final Four run would be the start of an era of success for USC basketball.  I had wanted that for a long time, but never got it.   Frank is now in year ten on the job at USC.  I think its only fair to see how the...

If everything goes as planned, we will play Auburn in Columbia on Tuesday evening to open our SEC schedule.   Some, (maybe most) people think that Auburn is the best team in the SEC right now.  I watched their game against LSU and I was impressed.   Their "scariest" player is the 7-1 center...

IF, (a huge word) there is a new coach next year, who will it be?   Phil Kornblut is reporting that his sources say that Bob Richey of Furman could be a person of interest.   He knows the high school talent in SC.  He has done well at Furman.  He is young (38).   He could likely be hired for...

According to Phil Kornblut, Frank will not be the USC coach next season.  His sources tell him Frank will be given several options, but none of them include remaining as coach.

I don't believe Lawson will be back.   With that in mind, here are the players that I hope will be on the team next year.    Frink, Bryant, McCreary, Leveque, Hannibal, Couisnard, Minott, Benson, Wright, Carter, Williams, Woodley. If Frank is the coach next season, those guys could be on the...

What standards should USC have for its men's basketball program? Opinions will vary, but imho, and as a long time fan of USC men's basketball, I think USC should expect, as a minimum,  to average 1 NCAA Tournament, 1 NIT, and one stay home every 3 years.  That seems quite reasonable to me. ...

Phil Kornblut said that he had talked with two people with connections to the university who told him that they thought Frank was going to be replaced as coach.     I have thought that USC would give Frank another year because of Covid.   But with his contract down to 2 years and Tanner saying...

UT is making jump shots even when they are guarded.  Really hard to beat that.   We scored 39, which isn't bad.  Moss had a good half.  Lawson did too.  I like seeing Minott in there.  I thought he did fine  for not having experience.     I didn't expect to win this, but we're playing hard. ...

I just heard Phil Kornblut say that Frank has 2 years left on his contract after this season, but that his contract WILL NOT be extended after this season.   Not sure what all that means, but it might mean that USC is giving him another year to turn things around.  It also might mean that USC is...
