BTW: we were just below the 300th youngest team for the season that just ended

Do you have a link for that?

Since there is so much to improve on, I can be optimistic that the players-team will play better
next year. However, I see White needing plenty improvement at in-game coaching. Far too many
games this year I watched this team play as if a small lead was safe to get sloppy with or as if there
was no need to play smart "in-the-moment" to close a score-gap before too late ?? Those flaws
must be corrected to assuage my fan frustration. They seem to be coach-flaws.??

If Foley wanted an Andy Kennedy protege, he could have just hired Andy Kennedy.....eh?

I tried to find the article (I read it before the GW game), but from what I remember it had GW ranked around 25th in the nation and the Gators something like 280th for experience. Can't seem to find it, but I'll keep looking.

ESPN insider article, maybe?

The argument will still be that this isn't White's team and we'll have to wait for more of his recruits to come in.

You are correct and that argument makes me nervous to say the least.

1. We don't have time to wait for White to build a team with his players (2-3 more years) without falling completely off the basketball map.
2. His recruiting to date suggests that what he has now is better than what he will have in 2-3 years.

But hey, I hope I am all wrong. Especially since I am being fleeced for $3500/year to keep my two seats.
Just not seeing $3500 worth of basketball coming down the road

Good guess, but I'm no insider. Still looking, but not having any luck - just can't remember the origin of the article.
