NOTES<br />

IN IT, BUT DIDN’T WIN IT<br />

In its first two games, USF has had two sizable first-half leads<br />

lost. The Bulls also had an eight-point lead against BU.<br />

• USF led Troy by 14 points, 44-30, with 3:11 remaining in the<br />

first half before being outscored 38-28 in the second half in an<br />

82-77 loss.<br />

• USF led NJIT by 15 points, 23-8, with 6:29 remaining in the<br />

first half. The Bulls led by 10 points, 50-40, with 6:05 left in the<br />

game and five points, 57-52, with 1:48 on the clock before losing<br />

60-57.<br />

• USF held an eight point lead, 18-10, with 11:36 remaining in<br />

the first half against Boston before losing 78-66.<br />

<strong>BULLS</strong> WELCOME TRANSFER ISAIAH MANDERSON<br />

• USF added Texas Tech transfer Isaiah Manderson to the team<br />

for the spring semester. The 6-10, 255-pound forward averaged<br />

4.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game last season as a freshman.<br />

He appeared in four games as a sophomore this season and<br />

averaged 3.0 points and 1.6 rebounds.<br />

• Manderson is a native of Bronx, N.Y. and played his senior<br />

season of high school at Oldsmar Christian School in nearby<br />

Oldsmar, Fla. The same school that current USF guard Troy Holston<br />

Jr. played at. He was rated a three-star recruit out of high school<br />

and was rated the 18th best player in the state of Florida by ESPN.<br />

com.<br />

• Manderson is eligible to practice with the team immediately<br />

and will be eligible to play after the 2016 fall semester ends. He<br />

will be a junior next season.<br />

<strong>BULLS</strong> SIGN THREE<br />

Orlando Antigua and his staff announced the signing of three on<br />

Nov. 13, during the early signing period.<br />

• Troy Baxter is a 6-8, 190-pound forward from Tallahassee,<br />

Fla. He was rated four stars by Rivals, ESPN and 247Sports and is<br />

currently playing for Oldsmar Christian in nearby Oldsmar, Fla.<br />

Baxter was one of the first players that Antigua targeted after<br />

accepting the USF job in 2014.<br />

• Andres Feliz is a 6-2, 180-pound guard originally from<br />

the Dominican Republic, but currently plays for West Oaks<br />

Academy in Orlando, Fla. He was given a three-star rating by<br />

Rivals.com. Last season, Feliz helped West Oaks to a 32-4 record<br />

and a SIAA state championship. This past summer he was the<br />

starting point guard for the Dominican Republic at the U19 FIBA<br />

World Championships with USF assistant coach Oliver Antigua<br />

also on staff. He was the leading scorer on the team and in the<br />

tournament with 18.9 points averaged over seven games. Also<br />

last summer, Feliz was the youngest of the group that played<br />

wiith the Dominican Republic National Team at the Pan-American<br />

Games in Toronto.<br />

• Malik Fitts is a 6-5, 215-pound small forward from La Verne,<br />

Calif. who is in his final season at Brewster Academy Prep in New<br />

Hampshire. He is a Rivals.com three-star recruit and is ranked<br />

2016-17 ROSTER // A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE<br />

6 //<br />

// @USFMBB<br />

No. 55 among small forwards in the 2016 class. Prior to Brewster,<br />

attended Damien High School in La Verne and helped his team<br />

win the CIF D3 State Championship.<br />

• HoopSeen.com ranked the recruiting classes in the American<br />

Athletic Conference and placed the Bulls third behind No. 1 UConn<br />

and No. 2 Cincinnati. It also lists Andres Feliz as the best scorer in<br />

the class and Troy Baxter as the best athlete. Website writer Justin<br />

Young went on to say this: Troy Baxter is a highlight reel with<br />

unique size. Andres Feliz has league-leading scoring potential<br />

while Malik Fitts is a top 300 level talent.<br />

A HEALTHY CHRIS PERRY<br />

• Junior forward Chris Perry was forced to miss the last 12<br />

games of his sophomore season. After going through the<br />

proper medical tests, Perry told the media in July that it was<br />

a left-ventricle issue in his heart, which he was born with,<br />

that shortened his season. He was cleared to participate in<br />

team activities in May. The native of nearby Bartow, Fla., was a<br />

member of the Preseason American Athletic Conference Second<br />

Team last season after being named to the all-rookie team as a<br />

freshman. Perry led the Bulls with 7.1 rebounds per game and<br />

ranked second in points with 10.8. USF lost 11 of its last 13 games<br />

without him.<br />

• “He’s a monster, man. He’s a great player, he’s got touch; right<br />

or left jump-hooks. Just a big body, can rebound the basketball,<br />

his basketball IQ is off the roof. To have him back full-time, I think<br />

that’s gonna really, really help USF.” - UConn Head Coach Kevin<br />

Ollie at conference media day on Oct. 27.<br />

DOMINICAN TIES<br />

USF has two coaches and three players with ties to the Dominican<br />

Republic.<br />

• Head Coach Orlando Antigua was born in the Dominican<br />

Republic and coached the Dominican Republic National Team in<br />

2013 and 2014.<br />

• Orlando’s brother, Oliver Antigua, is an assistant coach at USF<br />

and was also born in the Dominican Republic. Oliver has also<br />

coached the Dominican Republic, most recently the U19 team<br />

this past summer. With the Antigua’s on staff, USF has embraced<br />

players with Dominican heritage.<br />

• Senior guard Nehemias Morillo was born and raised in<br />

Santiago, Dominican Republic before moving to New York in<br />

2010. Morillo competed for his country at the 2015 Pan-American<br />

Games this past summer.<br />

• Newcomer Angel Nunez is originally from the Dominican and<br />

played for the Dominican Republic Select Team last season.<br />

• Freshman Luis Santos grew up in Santiago, Dominican<br />

Republic before moving to the U.S. prior to his sophomore season.<br />

• This roster provides a glimpse of what USF’s roster will look like next season as of today.<br />
