Welcome new UF Basketball Coach Michael White

[NVGator]

Seems to me it's not that huge. I mean when I think of huge I think huge.

Plus, I remember all this great things about Kasey Hill being said and how huge it was to get him.

 

[GatorBart]

How huge? Can you quantify it please?

Huge!

 

[MidwestChomp]

So our projected depth chart:

PG:Hill, Chiozza
SG- Francis, Allen
SF- Robinson, Walker/Stone
PF- Doe Doe, Murphy
C- Egbunu, Rimmer/Hayes


NCAA?

Let's not jump the gun. This team still has issues plus a new coach. But, this is looking good. I think Hayes could slide into the 4 spot. and Murphy the 3.

I mean at the end of the day he's not a 5 star instant impact

But after losing Carter and Frazier we'd be having a walk on be our 4th guard off the bench possibly

It never hurts to have too much talent, we have a chance to go for the NCAA so I'd say its big

Made. My. Day.

Can we have this one, please? Just give us some excitement around here.

Well I asked that cuz one of the main reasons we missed the tournaments was cuz we couldn't finish games due to being young. With another year of experience for these guys I could see it. But ur right it's a new system and new coach so I'll simmer my expectations

 

[MidwestChomp]

Free Throws. I hope White has some genius way of coaching his players to make them. Last season it pretty much came down to that in a lot of games, and probably could have made the tournament.

Given our current situation at Guard, we needed one that can shoot AND slash - this is the guy. He was the top recruit in this Gator class (which was in or near the top 10 before Dickerson opted out), so it's great he's going to stick to his commitment. I see him and Francis splitting time at the 2 (with Carter as well, if he actually decides to stay). Plus, we need all the help we can get with the new coach in his first year.

And who knew Hill couldn't hit the side of a barn? He made all of his shots in his highlight tapes.

I'm just messing around.

Weren't they layups?

 

[GatorBart]

Weren't they layups?

Most were just alley-oops to Walker, but man those looked good.

NCAA?

Pretty much. I'd put allen in front of Francis and I wouldn't sleep on stone beating walker out for pt. This roster definitely has the talent to make the tourney next year

 

[NVGator]

Make the tourney. Sad that we are simply talking about trying to "Make the tourney".

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Is it time for an NIT joke, yet? Too soon?

 

[MJMGator]

You're right. Every team that hires a new coach should expect to rule the world their first year.

 

[NVGator]

Does it have to be one way or the other? Who said anything about ruling the world?

 

[MJMGator]

Then what are your expectations coming off the year we just had, with the roster we have and a first year HC? You seem to be belittling making the tourney, which I think would be a nice accomplishment next season.

 

[aka]

I think it's more ridiculous to miss one year and suddenly think we're not going to make it back for a while. I'd like to think we can make it even in a transitional year.

 

[t-gator]

I think we're gonna be pretty good. Not only will we make the tourney but we'll have a pretty good seed. I can't remember the last time we were this deep.
