USF basketball is 5 points away from being 3-0 with two Quad 2 wins.

As disappointing as these two losses have been, especially considering how winnable both games were and how poorly we’ve played at times, the narrative around this team would be completely different if we had won.

Let’s take care of business today!

Rob, 2-4 in conference play isn’t going to cut it with the resources we have. You’re on the clock to make some changes!

USF has two options heading into next season:

Keep Luke Kromenhoek at a relatively low cost. He's shown tremendous heart, toughness, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. That would also free up more money to build a stronger roster around him (cough cough, an actual offensive line).

Or, capitalize on the anticipated revenue growth and increased donor support surrounding the OCS, along with the urgency to win in its inaugural season, to go all-in on an expensive, proven transfer QB.

I think the biggest argument for keeping Luke is that he's already shown noticeable improvement in the very limited number of starts he's had. There's reason to believe he could develop significantly with consistent QB1 reps in practice and an entire offseason to prepare.

I also don't see many programs trying to poach him given the small sample size, especially considering that until recently, he was barely given the opportunity to showcase his passing ability and what he's capable of.

Almost took down a really good Memphis team despite missing half our starting lineup. Easily the best we’ve played all season in what’s otherwise been a disastrous year.

Luke has so much heart, man.
