As we approach a highly anticipated USF basketball season, let’s look back at some of the student-athletes who got us here.  Our list of 10 essential USF basketball players may not line up perfectly with yours; discussion and debate is welcomed.
 
We’ll list these 10 players in no particular order.  They may or may not have huge statistics, and they may or may not have been a part of the big plays we all remember.  But because of their talent, their effort or even their timing, they provided a major influence on our USF men’s basketball program.

TAMPA, SEPT. 30, 2014 - Longevity alone doesn’t qualify someone to make this list, but longevity with excellence does, and that brings us to Tommy Tonelli.   As a player and a coach, Tonelli built a Bulls career completely unique in the annals of USF basketball history.
 
Through four years as a student-athlete and two tenures on the coaching staff, Tonelli touched the program like no one else has.  There are 18 men who have reached 1,000 points as a Bull; Tonelli played with or coached 10 of them.  And he has a direct link with each of the six Bulls who have made the NBA; he was either a teammate or a coach to each and every one of them.
