You're going to be saying "this feels different" every single year.
If you can provide any evidence whatsoever of me ever saying that about UGA basketball I'll eat my hat. I like how you just project your UF disappointment onto other fanbases as if we feel the same way you do.

Georgia fans might be ok with mediocrity for now due to your history. But I guarantee you will grow tired of the underachieving every year eventually.
what do you think we've been doing the last 100 years? We've always been mediocre if not downright terrible much of the time. White has elevated us, albeit for only a short stretch so far, above mediocrity.

And when you do get to that point you'll see UF's point of view
that isn't true at all, and I'm not sure why you have such a hard time comprehending the overall point. UGA basketball expectations are not in the same stratsophere as UF baskteball expectations.

He's a very good recruiter and mediocre at best strategist
He'll do "well" at UGA no doubt, but most programs get tired of being on the bubble constantly eventually

He's pretty much Anthony Grant who happened to make a run with Donovan's players early in his tenure
One could also call him the basketball equivalent of Will Muschamp

I get your point. UGA is fine with mediocrity.
I don't think you get my point.
Being let down by someone year after year after year gets tiresome. It's human nature. UGA basketball fans are not immune to this.
In your 7th straight year of having a talented roster and higher than usual expectations yet underachieving UGA fans will be feeling similar feelings.
Maybe not as strong as UF but those feelings will be there. That's just the nature of being burned over and over again.

They don't exist. Outsourced to Torvik.

That’s lame, I need someone to put UGA in the Top 25 so I can put the rank in my game threads
Posted on 10/30/24 at 10:38 am to diddlydawg7
we know you will anyway

He had recruited pretty well in following seasons, but never made it far with his recruits.
He is an above average to great recruiter imo, he just has a hard time doing anything with that talent.

Not really.
Teams used to getting in the tournament regularly may not accept that... but that isn't UGA.
UGA is to basketball what Vandy is to football. Vandy is excited to get into a bowl game every 2-3 years. UGA would be excited getting into the ncaa tournament once every 2-3 seasons and being on the bubble looking in the others. Maybe make the sweet 16 once a decade.
We're not delusional with expectations for basketball. We're fine with being okay.

so why did you guys push Mark Fox out

expectation creep happens everywhere. UGA is not different.

He went from NCAA 1st Rd loss (to an eventual Final 4 team), to NIT 2nd Round, to NIT 1st Round, to completely sitting at home in March.
Tom Crean looked like a solid get at the time.

Not even remotely true.
Number of players signed by Billy Donovan who played under Mike White and averaged 5+ PPG that year
2015-16: 5 of 7 (Missed Tournament)
2016-17: 3 of 8 (Elite 8)
2017-18: 1 of 6 (Round of 32)
2018-19: None (Round of 32)
2019-20: None (COVID, projected 9 seed)
2020-21: None (Round of 32)
2021-22: None (Missed Tournament)

you're probably counting guys like Chiozza and Devin Robinson "White recruits" which is silly (signed by Donovan then retained by White)
The only rotational players on the Elite Eight team who were originally recruited by White were Leon and Barry. Hill, Allen, Chiozza, Robinson, Egbunu, and Hayes were all Donovan guys.
