And I haven’t seen a single pump of him, other than he has a good recruiting class coming in and he made the Elite Eight. Those are what I would consider incontrovertible facts as opposed to pumping.
Before the season began, analysts predicted that Gator basketball was on a steep rise. That made up White's recruiting appeal, that plus the wondrously joyous documentaries of our back-to-back boys. (Those recruits even mentioned that they wanted to return Florida to it's past glory.)
So far, it seems predictors and these recruits miscalculated. We're stuck watching White's 4th season faltering. Next year, we get to watch White's guidance of his fifth season: will he get too little out of this better class? Remember, the White process involves players losing abilities the longer under his tutorial. So, sure freshmen & sophomores will have to be the most effective team. The solid comparison is = have we seen White get the maximum from his players or is there another coach who could design & deliver better performances from those whom he trains practice after practice every day? Are we wasting players of good potential on White?
USCe has its worst team in years ... came in with a 4-7 record. UF pushed USC to a mighty 5-7 record. Still, we are not the deciders; White is, via his coaching results ... 8-5 and falling are his results so far. Pay attention to our record 5 more games down the road.
