How did Florida build this current team with 4 starting seniors? What is Donavan's secret? Recruting players that have no chance getting in the NBA as Fresh, Soph, & Jr.s?

Yes, @93,000 is still excluded from abroad earnings, 186k married.
Most players aren't in much danger of pushing that.

i hope all 3 stay. I just couldnt fathom going to europe when you still have eligibility left in college. If you were dead set that was your only option, why not just ride your scholly out, get your degree, then go make money playing basketball, but have something to fall back on if you hate it or if you only play a few years. Instead you could move all the way over there, not make it then have what to show for it? Oh i made okay money for 2-3 years now what do i do.

-Easier to make a roster in Europe and MANY people make great, great careers over there
-Make money NOW instead of playing another year without pay and risking injury
-A degree will always be there to come back for

Yeah, just leave out details like how many games he's been suspended for or how much playing time he's had with those suspsensions. Hickey's troubles are completely overblown by this board and radio guys.

or make a little money get injured while not having much money and having to pay to go back to school while also having to pay to live.
get your degree now, basketball will be there when you are finish. If you are going to get hurt, better to get hurt in college when everything is still free and you can make your money when you get out.
It's not like your talking about making millions. we are talking about less than 100k, that's what can be done with a degree.

Finally someone gets it.
