Gator Basketball Next year’s basketball roster: Mike White lands #1 Graduate Transfer Kerry Blackshear

[NVGator]

I’m shocked. Who was the last Va. Tech transfer in?

Would LOVE to land Blackshear as a grad transfer. From Orlando, 6-10, can shoot it...

DFS

DFS

Wasn’t his last year at Florida White’s first year?

Wait it was actually Hudson, my bad. DFS, Hudson and Blackshear. Pipeline.

 

[GatorJ]

We should be a Final 4 team with this talent.

 

[NVGator]

Wait it was actually Hudson, my bad. DFS, Hudson and Blackshear. Pipeline.

And DFS and Hudson both declined under White. Let’s hope White has learned a thing or two.

I hope this guy is here to win not just try to look good for the NBA. Still gotta have some chemistry going on.
That said THANK GOD..............the last few years we just needed a REAL INSIDE presence.........

DFS was really good, you sure he declined?

Hudson yes, although his first year he was better than he ever was at Va Tech.

It really will be a hot seat season for White -- this is a one season window for everybody. Can White prove he can get it done with Top 10 talent? If he can, he buys himself time to rebuild when the principals leave after this season, as expected. If this season is a disappointment, then it is a perfect time to make a change.

I am pulling for Mike to show what he can do with this kind of roster. Go Gators!

I was very encouraged by White's progress at first, but now I'm in wait and see mode. There have been a couple stretches of near greatness on the floor and an equal amount of blundering around on offense. I'm still in the "hope White does it" crowd, but I need the fainting spells to end - and end soon.

With at least one article out there saying that the Gators are "Final Four contenders" now, there will be little question about White with what he does with this roster.

The contingent of fans who sincerely thought that White should have been fired THIS year would fall into the "denying reality" camp, for sure.

We all had high expectations for DFS his senior year after winning 6th man the year before. He ended up a SEC 2nd Team player. I just remembered he didn’t play to his full potential and we discussed that with it being White’s first year. Maybe I’m misremembering.

Love the meltdown on the Inbred Vol boards.

 

[SC Gator]

Finally good news!

 

[Sec14Gator]

It’s been a great week to be a Gator.

Keep it rolling.

Very much looking forward to watching this team this coming season. Coach has done a great job recruiting. Glad we kept him.
