I was on the road in the Spring when we picked up Xavier Castaneda so I missed much of the conversation. I just watched his final game as a USF Bull and honestly he strikes me more like a shorter Channel Banks than a pure point guard. And even though I didn't read the mentioned Beacon Journal article (behind a paywall), this post really got me thinking. It will be very interesting to see who emerges as our lead guard this year, if anyone. I could see multiple PGs playing together and roles evolving throughout the season. Maybe PG by committee. Regardless, the LCJ days are sadly over and we are going to experience a much different flow to our offense.
If you can stomach commentator, Dan Dakich you might want to watch some of this game. Xavier Castaneda is #1 in green.

He would be getting the same treatment as Arth if he went winless in his second year like Loeffler did. Not even sure he'd be here considering how impatient everyone is.
Congrats to BG on keeping the years with a MAC win over a B1G team streak alive. I only watched the end, but it appeared to be a sloppy game where the defense made some plays to give them chances.
Calling it "so much faster" let alone "turned around" is a bit premature, however. We'll see how the rest of their season plays out.
To quote Carl Spackler... "Don't mind this. This is doctor's orders."
Just read a scouting report on Kyle McCord. He's a pro-style QB like Joe Burrow. When he transfers out of the QB-killer OSUcks program before winning a National Title with a SEC school and getting drafted #1 overall, we can proudly say we were his first ass-whooping.
When you’re getting paid 1.8 million.. I think it’s okay to send the team there the day before. Most teams place their team in hotel night before game regardless if it’s home or away.
Rivals dot com had him listed as a 3-star recruit with offers from Wichita State, Valpo, UTEP, UIC, Tulsa, Missouri, Milwaukee, Miami-O, Loyola (Chicago), KSUcks, Iowa State, Drake, and, of course, USF.
