As far as the amount of transfers over the years....not enough blame is attributed to quality player assessment and recruitment. That’s on the coach and his staff.

Who besides Nembhard impacted us negatively by their transfer? Who went on to star somewhere else? I’m truly asking because I’m drawing a blank.
If anything the players who have transferred in have been better than those who transferred out.

I just wonder if we are chasing 4/5 stars but not properly assessing their skill and readiness? Who...within the first handful of games last year didn’t immediately recognize how raw our 5 star freshmen were? I mean I was telling people we needed to win NOW because we had 3 one and doners. I bought all the hype without seeing these kids on the court. I really like Lewis and Payne. I do not want them to transfer. But they are 4 year players who need to work as hard as Mann did.
I don’t know...it’s like professional sports where year after year certain organizations just can’t land the right pick while others have a real knack for finding gems. I’m excited about this new kid coming in....I hope he breaks the mold. We need a lock!
I wouldn't say nembhard transferring negatively impacted us. And I'll also defend all the transferring under white. Guys have been transferring because white keeps adding better players. Talents not an issue. This team that lost tonight, I think very talented. The problem is 100 percent in game coaching. Unfortunately we're not going to be looking for another one.

Under Donovan or a normal basketball program I wouldn't be convinced he leaves but coach white hasn't recruited one player here who hasn't transferred or left early for some other reason so there is no reason to believe mann would stay. He is the best player white has ever pulled and if I were him I would leave while I could.

Scottie lewis went from projected lottery pick to early 2nd round pick after his freshman year to absolutely nothing after this year so I'm sure mann has taken note.

I hear you on Mann but never would Lewis have been a lottery pick. The hype would have been exposed as soon as he hit a college campus. Not only does he not have a shot he also cannot create a shot or handle the ball. He has extreme athleticism and can become a good defender and a contributor on offense. He needs to put on some weight and work his azz off like Mann did.

I really like the kid but to me you just have to look at the opposite trajectories of Mann and Lewis and the picture becomes clearer.

We played a 10 seed. 10 seed and trailed the entire game until 5:00 left in the game. Get a 6 point lead with 2:30 left and squandered that to go to OT. Some of you act like we just beat a 1 or 2 seed. :facepalm: Oral Roberts might be a tough game.

LOL. Remember this gem? You fuchsing White Nutswingers. We suck, bad.

I agree on Nembhard I just figured he was one player that could be highlighted. Most if the rest were never heard of again.


You are also right....we are stuck. We’re not getting a new coach.

Definitely not saying KJ is coming back but I have a feeling he will be cleared. Just a guess.

I don’t know if Jit and Glover transfer. Unless they want to drop a level or two so they can play.

Again:

Staying: Castleton, Durugi, Locke, Appleby, Ruz, Osifo, Lane

Likely Staying: Jit, Glover, Kevonte

Leaving: Mann (pro)

Possible Transfer: Lewis, Payne

The new recruit HAS to stick.

For me....I wouldn’t be upset if some of the bubble guys did transfer. I’d rather pick up some new blood. A couple guys with size and some dog in them and at least one pure shooter and/or a real quarterback.

I definitely support a change at the helm but really don’t believe it will happen.
I have always thought that if KJ ever got cleared to play, he would take his talents to the professional ranks. It’s hard to see him or his family supporting playing for free again when they see how quickly it can all be over. I think he has NBA talent so if he gets cleared I would expect that to be his next stop.

Well, this went about as expected. I was hoping we could pull off a major upset against the Fightin Eagles. I’ve said this before. But, in my 30 years watching basketball, Whitey is the worst gameday coach I have ever seen. That is not an exaggeration. I mean it.

Keyontae earned all his accolades as a Gator, so he stays. Gator KJ has watched all of our MW coaching blunders, so he will be a better court-general - he'll stay, If everybody gets that extra COVID-year, a lot will be back, I think. Keeping Mike White is a fail just like keeping Todd Grantham is also. UF needs new coaching, better coaching.

Someone tell me about any good prospects that we are getting next year?

Well ******* white has done it again! Once again he slows the game down with a lead, takes the air out of the ball, all the while reducing the team to a bunch of statues. I think Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. How many GD times are going to keep doing this? FIRE THE S O B NOW.
I wonder if the feckless administration will finally grow some balls and put us out of our misery? FIRE WHITE FIRE WHITE FIRE WHITE.

I know Mike white deserves blame but remember who turns the ball over 20 times a game. He even slowed it down and they still make boneheaded passes and dribble off their feet and take awkward shots.
If Mike white comes back I'd kick about four players off the team.
