It sounds like the offense will be customized to the ability of our players. Sure he wants to run and play fast, but it really depends on what the players are best at. Now on D it seems we have to press and do those things we did in the past. Great in my opinion because that is how you actually coach college players.

I still haven't grasped the idea that Billy D isn't our coach anymore.

 

[PatDooleySucks]

Why can't we ever get these people the correct shade of Orange tie?

 

[MidwestChomp]

Thanks for posting. I was wondering when practice starts. The more I read and see from coach White the more I like him. I like how he talks about the players. Seems like he is high on a lot of guys includin Devon Walker. Can't wait for the season to start. But, it's going to be strange not seeing Billy D on the sideline anymore.

Sad that you had to put UF Basketball in parenthesis as if no one would know.

We we are a football school.

Not sure i'll believe it until i see our first game...or sometime by midseason.

The first time I see it, it'll be weird, but after that I'll move on.

They're playing up here near me at the Naval Academy on November 13th. Gonna try to get over there for that.....

This young man is going to be a very good replacement for Billy D. New blood isn't always a bad thing....Kasey and Chorizo are the two quickest guards I have ever seen and I've seen hundreds. They MUST improve free throw percentage and will. No point in drawing the foul, otherwise.

This team will be shockingly good.

Sigh...

I agree. I think it's gonna be a smooth transition

 

[rogdochar]

Quickest guards and now we have really plenty of big power men. Looking forward to this season. Yet still looking for a
turnaround football successful season. Go Gators. .... and both sports teams are very young = years to come.

Already have moved on. Will he, Billy D, be missed, oh ya. But just like with any of our coaches for me, once they are gone and the new coach comes in. I am in full support of them as long as they are here. If they do not work out and move on, they are Gator Bait once they are gone. Having said that, I think Coach White is going to be a surprise and will have success on this stage, IMHO. Go Coach White, Go Gators!

 

[bradgator2]

I still dont believe it. I mean, Coach White and our team have my full support. Gators always. But it feels so weird.

Billy Donovan looks different this year.........

He inherited a lot of talent and I can't wait to watch what should be an exciting brand of ball against a great schedule. But FT shooting could frustrate him in a hurry. Unless we got a lot better at it, we have to beat teams by what feels like double digits to edge out close wins because you can almost bank on being on the short end of charity stripe scoring.
