The recruiting part concerns me.
the good thing is there isn't some mystery involved here, simply look at his recruiting classes (plus incoming transfers). Anybody can look and see what kind of recruits he gets.

omments some Florida fans made on a Youtube post. There were some split reactions but it seemed to favor his leaving and wasn't capable of winning championships.
that may be true for the people who expect UF to be in teh final 4 every yera. THey need to realize they aren't Duke/UNC/Kentucky/Kansas/etc. They simply aren't' and need to come to grips with the sky high expectations they've set for themselves. Every UF fan that is thrilled that he's leaving and gives you reasons X,Y, and Z why it's good...ask yourself if that exact same X,Y,Z would be good enough for UGA? And the answer is pretty much an emphatic yes across the board.

I think it’s a very good hire. Guy has experience recruiting in the SEC and can win games. Florida is a pressure cooker and I think GA the will be a better fit.

I guess I should have known this but I didn't until I read it the other day - Mike White is the brother of the AD at Tennessee, Danny White, who was at UCF. He went to Tenn last year and took his football coach with him.

Amazing what Crean did to this program, hope he never works again.

We might as well roll with it. It is what it is. to the beginning of a great tenure for Coach Mike White!

Crean was blaming COVID but what did he do to make guys like Wheeler and the others want to transfer? Overall it just seems he is bad at building relationships. He will probably have to go work as analyst or go to a division II school if he wants to coach again. Possibly the worst SEC basketball season a team has had in the modern era.

As if he was the only coach to deal with covid....

I’m sold on White for now. Complete 180 turn for me personally. Just hearing him discuss his plan for coaching staff, recruiting Georgia, and nationally has me sold. He seems to be up for it. It’ll still probably be rough next year but I guarantee you he wins more than 6 fricking games and has a winning record vs the SOCON.

I am definitely more excited about this hire as time passes. I have a feeling we will be dancing in the next few years. And with the transfer portal and the potential excitement around the program and coming off a football national championship….we could turn this around quickly.
Go Dawgs!
Welcome to the family coach White!

im only mildly concerned.
when we hired crean, i had real conversations with iu fans that went like this...
"yeah he's fine if all you wanna do is make the tournament and possibly get to the sweet 16 but he cant do anything more than that"
"i would literally suck his dick if we made the sweet 16"
then he got here and never even came remotely close to the tournament, let alone the sweet 16. this seems to be a similar sentiment with mike white.

I think the portal killed Tom Crean.
If youre too much of a hardass, and your players don’t like you… guess what? They can now leave.
We should have had a solid roster this year, but everyone hated Crean from our 20-21 team.
