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.

 

By JIM LOUK
Voice of the Bulls

TAMPA, OCT. 21, 2014 - The 1988-89 USF basketball season ended on March 4 in the old Charlotte Coliseum at the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.  USF lost in the first round, and the team finished 7-21.  That made the cumulative record 21-63 over the prior three seasons.

 

And we felt pretty good.

 

Not about the past, obviously, but about the future.  There had been signs that year.   Not wins, but signs.  The Bulls had taken Florida to overtime before losing.  They had taken Miami to double overtime on the road before losing.  Even in the Sun Belt Tournament, they had led heavily favored South Alabama most of the way before falling in the final minutes.  Nothing to be satisfied with; losses are losses; but there were signs.  There was talent, and the team was extremely young.  Virtually everyone was coming back.

 

Among the returnees was a guard from Yugoslavia who had seemingly gone directly from the Tampa airport to the opening game that year.  Learning English along the way, Radenko Dobras had averaged 16 points per game in his first year, all the while adjusting to life in America.

And this is the best part

 

Dobras, now a USF Athletics Hall of Fame member, is still visible in the stands at many home games, a pleasant reminder of a great time in USF basketball history.

 

Go Bulls!!

CB is also visible in the stands at many home games .... I'm guessing he'll be one of the top two.

He definitely won't be on this list, but I see scott johnson at quite a few games too.

You need to specify Robinson there, otherwise it's our friends to the east, upon whom we fart.
