Gator Basketball ***BBALL Game Thread Florida vs Vandy***

[MertzJay26]

Its been all year...we have no guards. Lofton and Jones are very bad

Yup. One guy we should have pushed out and the other we should have never brought in. Good news is the only PG on the team for next year that Todd brought in is basically unplayable (Bonham)

Maybe the next AD will hire coaches that won’t embarrass themselves by losing to lowly Vandy . Scottie ****s his pants Striclin should’ve been fired before Christmas .

We will be just fine. Vandy is a very solid team

 

[CGgater]

Well, that sucks.

Aberdeen as well. But thats what happens when you are left finding what you can in the portal. Gonna have to get better guard this time around and get some good freshman in the next class

Roster coming back next year is trash. We better hope Golden can go crazy in the portal cuz his recruiting class is non-existent

 

[MertzJay26]

We lost to Vandy in football and basketball. Woof!

12.5% from 3. Can't win if you can’t hit buckets.

This was the obvious problem from the beginning of the season. When your guards can't shoot, you won't win. Period.

Golden Era hinges on his ability to get players. So far, zippo.

I like Golden's energy and style of play. Now he needs to show he can get the players.

Mike White got a lot of talent, a ton of talent. One of the best recruiters at Florida, ever.

Didn't win chit. Golden Boy better find some friends, fast. Where's our Gator Nowitzki?

Lots of opportunities to get better pieces

Jones, Felder, Lane, Jitoboh have provided almost nothing, but getting 10-11 transfers was pretty unrealistic. Just want a good situation this past offseason. Hopefully vetter this time

Pathetic program

Players on the team next year (likely):

Kugel - stud
Bonham - bench piece
Aberdeen - 3 star RFr
Fudge - bench piece
Big German - project (likely wasted spot)
Haugh - 3 star incoming frosh
Aussie - project

That’s brutal roster construction and will take a huge portal hall. Speaking of portal, let’s review portal pieces from ‘22…

Lofton - not a Power 6 PG
Fudge - Dan Werner with athleticism
Bonham - barely plays

Doesn’t give me hope for ‘23 but I’m sure it’s just cuz I’m a dumper now

*Forgot Richard. He’s solid but not a true difference maker.

This graphic is informative. Speaks volumes. We have been conquered by Starkville. They couldn't beat us so they devised a plan to reduce us to their level of mediocrity. Almost as devious as when Saban sandbagged us into believing McElwain was a special talent.

We need to buy a couple of players. You can do that now. Seriously, please crowd source at least TWO 4-5* players. Next year is going to be unwatchable.

Not sure what I feel worse about, Mertz as our QB1 or our basketball roster next season. Tough times to be a Gator

 

[Gatorbait25]

We will be just fine. Vandy is a very solid team

I agree . It wouldn’t shock me if Vandy cut down the nets this year . They’re a real contender.

 

[MertzJay26]

We will be just fine. Vandy is a very solid team

Net ranking: 99

Solid is a reach

Definitely Mertz…. basketball is just filler.

 

[soflagator]

Felt like we got so cold for about 5 minutes mid 2H and never recovered. Not sure I’ve ever seen a team try as many baseline layups as we did today either. It felt like every possession/
