Needed to vent in this thread, it's infuriating seeing morons like Dooley who believe coaches never lie compare Billy fucking Donovan to Mike White. First he lies about the facts, we only blew 2 leads and it was to Butler and Louisville not fucking Oral Roberts. Second, that was the fucking Elite 8 against teams much better than a 15 seed. It's truly amazing how much shithead writers will carry water for coaches no matter what actually happened on the court/field or the direction the program is headed.
Yeah he sucks, and that recruiting just isn’t gonna cut it in this league. Rough break with the Keyontae situation. Can try and work the transfer portal but he’s prob gonna have to hire a bag man to keep his job.
He actually recruited pretty well for a few years (Nembhard, Lewis, Mann were 5 stars in the 2018 and 2019 classes) but that's tailed off. No doubt the Keyontae situation was a really tough break but he wasn't Lebron James. The player development has been shit (other than Mann) and we've relied on transfers because we haven't developed a quality big since Billy D was here. Meanwhile the SEC continues to get tougher and we've lost like 6 years straight to FSU, a program that has a shitty off campus arena while we just spent big bucks upgrading the O Dome. Similar to Muschamp and Mac in football we're essentially wasting years of a generation of kids who grew up when we were a top 10-15ish program, that won't last forever. Thank you for letting me rant.
Tom crean should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell for giving me false hope with that Anthony Edwards class only to turn in shit tier recruiting pulls from then on and make any decent opposing coach look like a fucking wizard of west wood guess he gets one more year to dig the hole our program is in that much deeper
Mike White seems like he will keep UF in no man's land. Not awful enough that's it's a no-brainer to fire, but not great enough to even approach the Donovan era or perhaps even be a top 15-20 program. That has to be frustrating for Gator fans, though I know he had some good early teams. He will have them like 4-5th in the SEC and like a 7-9 seed annually but that is probably not good enough given that he inherited a program in pristine condition.
Fan apathy will get him fired next year because we're gonna suck. 3 players are in the portal and there's probably more coming, Scottie Lewis and Omar Payne are possible candidates. He's a candidate at Utah and there's rumors he's reached out to them, hopefully they take him off our hands and I'm sure we'd negotiate a lesser buyout.
Omar Payne's in the portal. So far we've lost 4 guys to the portal (maybe more), Mann's gone to the draft, and Castleton declared but is probably gonna come back. 2021-22 is officially our bottom out year that gets White fired.
Yes. I mean I'm basically used to it unless you want to count walkons and end of bench scholarship scrubs.
Was supposed to commit to us yesterday, but pushed it back now that it appears we will land Umude really like Jones, good pickup for the Gators
I remember getting super hyped at a fringe preseason top ten team only to go .500 the last two months of conference play and get blown out in a 5/12 game. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago. Basically what I am saying is get fucked Arkansas.
Shoots a jumper as well as Gabe, but very athletic and a good rebounder. I like him, he’s just very limited offensively outside of dunking and has zero post game. Rim runner only
I'm sure everything is on the up and up, and he just wanted to join an athletic department full of integrity and high moral character
I'll be rooting for him. He and Cuonzo were like oil and water. His biggest issues are no defense and if he doesnt get his first few shots to fall, he sulks. But when he's on his game, you cant stop him
Fulkerson is coming back to UT. And all of sudden 247 has UT's incoming class ranked 2nd in the country. More importantly we finally have a PG again.
Hey, as a Tennessee fan, I'm notoriously mired in our on past successes. And losing to Arkansas this past year got all the boosters to dime on Pruitt. Saban really does his assistant coaches no favors by not allowing them to talk to the media.
Also Tye Fagan was a starter, and he went to Ole Miss. Crean should’ve been fired yesterday. He sucks a whole bunch. At least he makes up for it by being expensive.
