The long wait for football-crazed USF fans is half over. It’s not football season, but the next best thing is happening Saturday. That is, of course, the football Spring Game, which kicks off at 4 PM at Corbett Stadium on campus. USF has managed to schedule this big game on a holiday weekend, as is typically the case with the UCF game.

Looking Back

The 24-19 USF softball team took care of business at ECU, sweeping the three game series with the Pirates over the weekend.

Fired men’s basketball coach, Orlando Antigua, has landed as an assistant at Illinois. Antigua was an assistant at Kentucky and Memphis before landing his first head coaching gig at USF.

The women’s basketball team celebrated a great season with their annual awards banquet yesterday, held at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City. The season marks the fifth straight 20-win season for the Bulls.

Looking Forward

The men’s basketball program has picked up a new point guard for next season. Former UConn and Penn State guard, Terrance Samuel, is a graduate transfer who has committed to playing his final year of basketball at USF. He is a former 3 star recruit, but averaged just 3.9 points per game, last season, averaging just under 17 minutes of playing time per game.

Joining Samuel will be JUCO transfer, Justin Brown. Brown is a 6-6 shooting guard from Birmingham who played most recently for the Hargrave Academy.

The unofficially ranked 26th USF baseball team is visiting 15-19 Stetson tonight at 6:30. The 27-5 Bulls lead the also-getting-votes section of the USA Today top 25 and have the 24th best RPI in the country. They are coming off a three game sweep of UCF, whom they will visit again to end the season in May.

CBS Sports has five questions for USF football. One of those questions is linebacker, a position lacking experienced depth. Starting middle linebacker, Auggie Sanchez, is nursing a shoulder injury and has not been participating in spring drills.

Charlie Strong has managed to convert another Gator into a Bull. Running back, Jordan Cronkrite, is transferring from Florida to USF. Cronkrite is a former 4 star recruit, but had slipped to fourth on the Florida depth chart. Per NCAA rules, Cronkrite will have to sit out next season, becoming eligible in 2018.

USF fans want a stadium of their own. There was much excitement in the fanbase when it was announced that the school was conducting a feasibility study about the stadium. What might surprise fans is that the study wasn’t about raising money and other factors of feasibility, but rather what location to build in. They are worried about sinkholes. Yes, sinkholes.
