Head Coach Amir Abdur-Rahim on CJ
"My staff and I are very excited to have CJ and his family join BULLS Nation. CJ is a young man that I have had the pleasure of getting to know for the last four years. Watching him grow on and off the court has been a joy. CJ can play anywhere in the country and have success because of his high character and work ethic, I'm just glad he's coming to play for us at South Florida. His toughness, competitiveness, and high-flying finishes will make him a fan favorite from day one. I want to thank his parents Cornelius and Arlene for raising him to be the young man he's become and also trusting us to continue his development and add to the foundation that they have set for him. BULLS Nation help us welcome CJ to Tampa! GO BULLS !!!"

About USF Men's Basketball
The South Florida men's basketball team is led by Amir Abdur-Rahim, who was named the 11th head coach in program history on March 29, 2023. Abdur-Rahim was named the 2023 Mid-Major Coach of the Year (Hugh Durham Award) after leading Kennesaw State to its first-ever Division I NCAA Tournament berth in 2022-23. Abdur-Rahim's Kennesaw State team set an NCAA record as the fastest team to ever reach the NCAA Tournament after a one-win campaign, accomplishing the feat in a span of just three seasons. He was also named the 2022-23 NABC District 3 and ASUN Coach of the Year after leading Kennesaw State to both the regular season and tournament titles, and a school-record 26 wins.
 
USF has retired three numbers in its history: Chucky Atkins (12), Charlie Bradley (30), and Radenko Dobras (31). The Bulls have earned three NCAA tournament bids, appeared in the NIT eight times, and won the 2019 College Basketball Invitational.
