I agree. I like White personally but he,s no championship coach, that,s for sure.

Harry Fodder: Setting the Grad Record Straight - Florida Gators

Wow shocking about players "not" graduating under White. Ended up being a bold faced lie. Doesn't matter cause with all these players leaving, its going to be hard to build a competitive roster this upcoming season so its going to be very tough for this team to even end up with a winning record so MW will be GONE for sure.

Interesting article.....the truth matters.

While I believe there is a decent chance that every player transferring out will be replaced by a better one transferring in....what will it matter if nothing else changes? What we need more than anything is a fundamental change in philosophy.

Per that article, the only graduates who White recruited as freshman are Dontay Basset and Gorjak Gak.

That's it.

How much credit does Billy get for Hayes, Allen and Stone’s 4 year graduations? He recruited them but MW had to lock them back in after giving them all the option to leave.

I think the point of the statements that have been made is that MW can’t keep players on campus for 4 years and graduate them. Clearly he did. He also got Hudson and Leon in for 2 years and they graduated.

None of this should detract from the legitimate issues being discussed.

The point is not one about academics. It is about recruiting and identifying players while selling them on a vision (Billy identified and sold those players). White has not had that success at all. His only two recruited graduates were fairly unimpressed players who averaged minute minutes.

The better defense for White is that only 3 classes could even get to graduation even if you extend it to this year, and it is either 2 or 3 (Keyontae being the question mark) out of 9 players that will have graduated (could be 4 if Locke graduates before transferring).

The situation really isn't as bad as it seems. Tre Mann was the biggest loss.. If Castleton somehow still returns after being undrafted and we get a couple transfers like CJ Felder I think we'll be fine. Apparently we are going after a bunch of transfers including Noah Gurley and Stanley Umude.. Honestly these players are upgrades I dont know why people are freaking out. Its kind like when you get desperate and you need $ fast and you sell all your stock.. I'd hold on to your Gator stock I think its going up quick.

I really wasn’t alluding to academics. Just the idea that he couldn’t keep players in the program for 4 years. Those 3 players stayed for 4 and I don’t see any way Billy gets credit for that. Better way to put it might be to point out we are trending in the wrong direction.

So creative. So negative.

It will be ok. Especially if we get that dude from south Dakota

I appreciate your optimism. But, I'm being serious, I think White is the worst gameday coach I have ever seen in my 30 years of watching college basketball. I'm not kidding. I have no hope in this program going anywhere as long as he is at UF. Maybe he figures things out. I hope so.

April fools or not, he thanked his HS coach and Gators. Someone is noticeably absent from his marks of appreciation.
