In response to Chet Forte
As others have noted, USF is in a tough spot in a tough conference. Kyle is taking on a big lift but then he did the same at Columbia so perhaps it is unwise to doubt him. I am certain personal considerations weighed heavily in this decision.
USF of course many decades ago was the very best. Then they had a recruiting scandal and criminal allegations against Quinton Dailey and dropped the program entirely after efforts to clean it up failed. They re-instated it and had some success in the late 70's with Bill Cartwright.
Two coaches ago, Jessie Evans, left mid-contract for supposedly losing control of the program and I believe he ended up winning a lot of money after a protracted law suit. Rex Walters coached for the last 8 years and had some but not consistent success, and had a lot of player turnover, although I think that was more in his early years.
So that is the basketball situation that Kyle is walking into. I'll be curious as to what happens. I am rooting for him.
