I can hear Mick making a lot of his trademark sayings....Payne is bringing the Pain, Oh My! (I know cheesy)

Highlights show Payne is a full throttle inside player - could be dominant. Certainly what we need. Perhaps what we've been missing. Plus UK went after him. Way to go ... again ... Coach White.

Payne is in too and the title of this thread should probably be changed to reflect that. Mann has a signing ceremony tonight at 6 pm EST.

The Cheese buzzer beater is a play that White has installed and work on in practice time and time again...

With the signing of Lewis and Mann, White gets two elite tall guards that seem to be his preference.

I like the direction he's taking the program, especially in his recruiting, in spite of this team's current woes.

Is it too early to tell, but is White's recruiting moving us towards CBB's elite?
What SEC basketball has lacked for many years are those super-tall inside guys who were adept at scoring no matter the defender. We've had too few and it kills us in tourney time when UF has to face them. Typically, 6'9" is our top shelf?

I've been watching several SEC teams play this year that are on our schedule.

The SEC has some good teams. The SEC will have lots of teams in the tourney.

The tournament is so expansive, we might make it, if experience makes us better than now.
Making the NIT will be a disappointment.
Any suggestions on what Coach White is doing to recruit so well? It seems a sudden skyrocket?
