Gator Basketball Nice 5* get for Mike White ...

[stephenPE]

In b4 makes a reference to short pants..........

 

[T REX]

Huge get. Welcome Tre!

 

[Alumni Guy]

He’s a good looking player: uses both hands, scores inside and out. Decent height, but needs to bulk up some.

Didn’t see any Defensive plays or assists: hopefully just a mix-tape editing thing.

My neighbor has seen him play in person and he says the kid is legit.

Baby Steph/Steph 2.0...those descriptions say a lot imo

I like the smart & confident way he uses the backboard when it's wise to do so. Sure, highlights ... wonder if he clanks many like our other players do?

 

[Silverback Gator]

Great pull, no doubt whatsoever. My recollection is he needed some big men up front.

 

[ATXGator]

Everything about this kid says he is a star. Combing him with Nebhard (assuming he is still hear) and that is a very very good back court.

It sounds like we have a really really good shot a walker who is a stud as well. Then if we get a big guy we are in really good position.

Mike is cooking and getting the talent. A little bit of improvement to his offense to get more ball movement and we could be back to the Final Four before we know it.

Yes, they say HYPERBOLE unless they mean Curry in college.

To add to this here are Mann's stats in 16 EYBL games in 2018:

15.9 points per game, 46.1% inside the arc, 75.6% from the FT line, 35.8% inside the arc, 2.2 assist per game, 1.8 turnovers per game, 1.9 steals per game, 4.4 rebounds per game.

To me 16 EYBL games is about half a college season against top level talent in his class. BTW, he played on an EYBL with C.J. Walker whose stats are also at that link.

He is also good friends with Scottie Lewis....

Not really needing multiple big men this class. 1 would do just fine, then 1 or 2 wings (Top Tier) to complete the class

I am hoping for a class of a PG (Mann), a real SF someone like C.J. Walker, a big like Payne and a plus one if we have room in the late signing period like Lewis.

That's the class I am hoping for or we come close to if not achieve

Mann
Lewis
Walker
Payne

From what I have heard this is extremely possible

Kid has an absolute beautiful shot. High quick release and great handle. I'm excited.

 

[Marine1]

I’d like us to go after Scottie Barnes at University School in Broward. 5 Star 2020 6’8 guard/point forward. He’s playing at a very high basketball level. State champion, played in national championship, member Team USA.

He is amazing. We have been recruiting him very hard.

Why only 1 big? I thought our weakness last season was one dimensional lack of depth or size up front.

It is a weakness but we have kind of a log jam there atm.

 

[Silverback Gator]

I am confused. How could we have a logjam but lack the size to play big that way?

UF has shifted to a 3 guard set. So having Stone, Bassett, Gak, Hayes, C. Johnson and Stokes means UF has 6 guys for 2 positions and only one, Hayes is a SR.
