There's no coach that I can think of that does more with less than Billy the Kid.

No Sr UF player drafted but still gets it done. Imagine what he could do with the talent at blue blood schools like UNC or Kansas.

His success is the equivalent of say a UK Or Arky football National Championship or regular BCS bowl wins.

It's really remarkable.

Here's to you Billy D!

On Opposite Day this thread would be about UG.

I thought he was great during his child acting days as well.

The guy is definitely talented on many levels.

That's why I like Billy D teams. He gets great players who stick around for multiple years.

He can never get too much appreciation, he has done some incredible things. When they finish the renovation of the O'Dome, it is probably time to rename it for him.

He's had 4 5*'s in the last 3 years or whatever. Plus, multiple 4*'s.

Young was a 5* that wasn't drafted. Maybe Billy just doesn't set these guys up well for the NBA? If so, I can see why kids veer from playing at Florida.

You may want to check out Donovan players in the NBA, they are pretty good. Only 4 schools have more players in the league.

I know who he puts in. I'm not trying to start something. I just think there are tonssss of coaches out there that do more, with much less.

What 5 star players were on the 2014 team? By what service?

Tons? Name some then. I'm open to others that have accomplished what he has with less talent.

Well damn. Maybe Foley should hire one of them. I'm sure we'd have made the Final Four then.

Wait....

We did.

It's not Ok for Foley to settle on BD with so many coaches out there doing more with less. I'm writing a fukimg letter now to express my displeasure.
