Are you still mad that Billy D left to take the OKC job?
However, are you happy he is 1 win away from the NBA Finals?
You guys were last in the Final Four back in 2014

Who in their right mind would be mad? It's a silly question IMO.

I guess. I hate the NBA so IDGAF but good for him. He's a good man.

I only get interested in big talk. I apologize for being a tad terse.

No problem.
How do you like Mike White as the new coach?

I was kidding. I'm never serious here. I have enough of that in my life.
Mike seems fine but his recruiting is lacking so far. Recruiting to UF is difficult. We don't have stellar HS basketball here so there's not a lot of good recruits close. We have to recruit nationally and that is difficult for a new coach at a non-traditional blue chip school like UF.
We'll see how it all shakes out. He'll be given lots of time unless the bottom just drops out. We were very patient with Billy D.
ETA: Why did you think UF fans were "mad" at Billy in the first place? I've never seen any non-idiot UF fan display displeasure with the man.

He should have kept the same places of recruiting like Billy D did. With the NYC area and the other big cities

Billy had a leg up because of his ties to the NE. Mike White doesn't talk like them.

To be fair, Donovan is from New York and played at Providence and with the Knicks. So it made sense for him to recruit that area having those lifelong connections. You don't just pick that up as a new coach and Donovan was a solid recruiter so unless they went out and got someone of the caliber there was going to be a drop off.
I think White will be fine at Florida. Maybe not success at Donovan's level but with some time he'll get himself established.

I think there was some concern early, but he is proving himself to be a good recruiter right now.

No. I'm busy.

If those 2017 recruits stay on board I'll agree but it's a long way out for them.

He could take classes to work on it

Now you know good and gosh darned well that no self-respecting southerner is going to purposefully learn how to speak like a gosh darned Yankee.

Never know

Hell no, I'm a major Billy D fan for life, I rooting for him to be only the 3rd coach to win a NCAA and NBA title and it's only the beginning, he's already a sure fire hall of famer, now he's coaching to become a legend.

Hell no. Figured it would happen. I will always be glad for what BD did at UF

If he wins it all, I would be happy.
