Yeah, I worry a bit about that too. Hopefully White will not take UF down that road to mediocracy.
We will be perfectly fine we the 3 guards...its not like 3 6'0 guards

Duke could have won it all this year and essentially played 3-4 guards at a time

I get the concern, but Hudson's 6'6" - kind of a mini DRob.

Not really, so I am still concerned. Everyone can go 3 guards in college. That is the stamp of good midmajors. That is what teams that lack recruiting do in college.

So Duke, Arizona, Kansas, KY, Purdue, UCLA, Butler, and SC are terrible teams with terrible recruiting and are beyond lucky to be in the NCAA tournament?

Yes, particularly UK, that is my biggest criticism of White is he let a program with such limited talent this year finish ahead of UF in the SEC. As for your second question no, midmajors and teams mimicing midmajors get at large bids every year. They just rarely if ever win the thing. Maybe Hudson will really be 6'6" and really be a SF, but what I have seen in clips from his time at VPISU makes me doubt it.
