Is the UF program not supporting basketball and funding projects Billy wants done.

Sure, does the rant see Billy D moving on?

What about it? Maybe UK will look at mark fox too after cal leaves, both scenarios have the same percentage of happening.

Other projects. Not just the O Dome.

Billy needs to focus on recruiting. Stop taking transfer bench big men from other schools and trying to start them at UF. The projects that you are talking about will be getting underway within the next year.

I agree with your statement of recruiting. Are some funding that supposed to go to basketball get pulled and placed with football?

I thought it got delayed?

Did you guys run out of money or something? That thing may collapse before they even get to it.

I've seen this mentioned more time than once. It is an interesting scenario but I think Billy D has a good thing going at UF and I think he knows that.

I just don't see Donovan going to another school at this point. If he goes anywhere, it'll be NBA.

If they decide to get rid of Crean (and I don't know that they do or that Bama is that interested), Indiana is likely going to throw the kitchen sink at Brad Stevens then probably filter down to Gregg Marshall, Archie Miller, etc.

Pete Bell from Western and Billy Sunday from Big State are the latest scuttlebutt for the IU opening if Crean moves on

Not trolling. Matt Jones of KSR mentioned this just now. He does not spew shite out unless it has legs. He mentioned a couple weeks ago Billy not happy in Gainsville.

Brad Stevens is main get for IU. Sounds the timing is a factor. Whittman and Marshall are on the list.

No.

Foley doesn't like having more than $100 million floating around at one time. So the IPF, athletic dorms, locker rooms, etc that the money is going to now, delayed the start of the O-Dome renovations. When I say athletic dorms, it is for all sports, not just football. Locker rooms are for football and basketball as well. There is more projects going on right now and throughout the summer too.

Also, does Billy talk to Matt Jones? Is he friends with Matt Jones?

Billy has a tight circle. I highly doubt whatever Matt Jones thinks he knows is first hand knowledge.

Did not get specific with projects, mostly improving everything from dorms to practice facility. Was mentioned some funds were yanked for football.

89 covered all that.

Just talked to some fairly well connected guys (the design build firm for the O'Dome reno) and they said that because the plans were only 60% done, they decided to pause and look at the plans again to make sure they are doing what they want the first time. There's concern about getting the reno done in between the season too. They are trying to figure that out.
