That's just what FL does. You will feel great about where you are then next thing you know you're fucked. They've been doing this all year.

Dayton was hanging around for most the half but those last few minutes really opened it up. If Florida can get a mini run to start the 2nd half they might be able to coast it in

I will pay real American dollars if I don't have to listen to bucket mouth anymore.

He's puzzled, absolutely puzzled how Florida is up 8 but not doing what he wants them to do instead of what they are doing that is obviously working.

Which one is that?

The one who thinks he knows better than the coach that has his team up 10.

If the #1 player on Connecticut chose the Flyer then what I know is Conncecticut doesn't have any good basketball talent.

I can't wait to hear how Kentucky is the evil empire when we are matched up against... Michigan.

Florida has been, is, and will be the best team.

That being said BD is a fraud coach. Fucking my mom could recruit HS kids to come to fun in the sun in Gainesville.

I think Wilbekin could be a decent back up PG in the NBA. He is short but can finish over people and down low against much taller people.

Yeah I don't really agree with this. He is one of the best coaches in the country. This team is filled with fringe NBA players at best.

Oh yeah? Then what was your mom doing before Billy got there? Sounds like she was incredibly shitty at her job.
 
i liked these tournaments better when florida kept choking second-half leads in the elite 8

e: except last year. last year i wanted orbital bombardment

BD is legit to me. My brother in law goes to Florida and he says people down there still mostly don't give a shit about basketball, despite being on the cusp of a third title in the last decade. For him to do what he's done at a football school is impressive to me. And didn't he turn down an offer from the Magic to stay at Florida?

He actually took their offer in 2007, I think. He backed out of it after having second thoughts.

He actually accepted the Orlando job but not even a week later he changed his mind and got out of it.

yeah, you are nuts if you think it's easy to recruit at Florida. Lon Kruger left Florida in the 90s because he thought it was impossible to recruit enough talent there to win consistently.

Also, this is the worst year to make the claim that all Billy does is recruit good players. This is one of his "least" talented bunch.

And Billy Donovan changing that isn't impressive?

He's a decent recruiter helped out by the school he's at. I am not solid he is a good actual coach.

I'm not the first or only person to think this. The crew on DL Show on ESPN radio floated out the same idea. Bomani Jones had this exact same idea on the show last week.

Good point. Is there a single first rounder on this team? Maybe Kasey Hill and Walker in a year or two, but they're role players.

In the entire history of the world, no one has successfully recruited at Florida until him. To argue otherwise is monumentally retarded. Anyone with a career discussionijg sports who argues that should lose their job. They are stupid, on some monumental level.

Next on that list, Coach K sucks at basketball.

Yup. This is a group of players that have underachieved their entire careers and he has them playing at an elite level.
