Gator Basketball 2022 Basketball Recruits Signed

[GatorBart]

I didn't even know it was recruiting season (I borrowed that from CDM).
Anyway, looks like Coach White and staff have done a decent job of recruiting for 2022.

Unlike football, recruiting has never been the issue with CMW.
All is fine until recruits arrive on campus

This has to be wrong. We don’t sign quality big men.

Don't worry they'll transfer after a season or so. All is good

If they are any good they’ll be gone in one or two years anyway.

MW hasn’t had a problem recruiting 4/5 stars. His problem has been proper assessment. One look at Payne and Lewis and you knew they needed serious development.

Found this while looking up Malik Reneau. He has a nice game. He hit a three. He used a nice little fade away. Excellent passer. Runs the floor. I hope Whitey can develop him.

Some very nice highlights from Reed as well. Renau and Reed don't appear to just be athletes like Payne was. They seem to have some skills already.

Hopefully CMW won’t ‘undevelop’ him.

Lewis especially.

Lewis was yet another McDonalds All American with little to no game to speak of. Instead he was a tremendous athlete that caught the eyes of the evaluators who assumed that his game would develop which it did not (Chris Walker 2.0)

CMW can recruit as well as a realistic gator fan could expect. Unfortunately he fails in most of the other aspects of the job.

Bryan Antoine (6’5” G) was the better player on Lewis’s HS team (Ranney). They were a good duo. Antoine went to Nova and will be a starting guard this season for the #4 team in the land.
I know Lewis got drafted, but can’t remember who or what developmental league he ended up in.
Update: He's on a two-way contract with the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League.

And neither Lewis or Payne had Tre Mann’s work ethic.
