Final 2009-2010 South Florida Projection:

South Florida is slowly improving…very slowly. This group has potential to win more than four conference games if the newcomers can fill some holes off the bench. USF has had some major issues with their bench, as was seen last year when the team lost Jesus Verdejo, Mike Mercer and Ajayi for various amounts of time. The newcomers have to provide that depth or the brutal Big East will wear this team down by the middle of January.

Projected Post-season Tournament: none

2009-2010 South Florida Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• Chris Howard, Senior, Guard, 7.7 points per game
• Justin Leemow, Sophomore, Guard, 1.8 points per game
• Dominique Jones, Junior, Guard, 18.1 points per game
• Augustus Gilchrist, Sophomore, Forward, 10.2 points per game
• Alex Rivas, Senior, Center, 4.2 points per game
