Can Victor play before December 15? I thought he had to wait to play until at least Dec 15.

Darrel Mitchell was great at LSU. He didn't have the size or athleticism to play in the NBA, but he was a hell of a college player.

Uhhh why? He's a walk on, get over it.

He's actually a very good 3 point shooter and I'm sure he's used in those scenarios in practice. Also a great FT shooter. I think he could honestly be used in end game situations where you know they're going to foul you as one of the guys on the floor who you know will likely drain 2 (obviously very situational as you need the TO as he will not play defense).

At this point we do not know. He is applying for a hardship waiver which would give him the entire season. Otherwise he will be eligible at end of fall semester.

Daryl Mitchell was a 4 or 5 star coming out of HS. Sooooooooooo...why knock a kid who was a big time recruit during his time?

Mitchell was not a 5 star out of high school. Might not have even been a 4. However, he was a stud at lsu and hit MANY clutch shots. WVU, Ohio State, aTm, Arkansas, Arizona. Hell, probably tons more. He had tons of athleticism, was just too short to play in the league.

I'd be happy with another Marcus Thornton.

Not sure of his star rating but he was Mr. Louisiana basketball if I remembr correctly. He was highly thought of.

It's a nice reward but doesn't automatically mean you're a 4 or 5 star prospect. Here's the last handful of years:

2009: Joevoskie Mitchell, Zwolle
2010: Markel Brown, Peabody
2011: Ricardo Gathers, Riverside Academy
2012: Dee Wagner, Peabody
2013: Jarell Martin, Madison Prep
2014: Reginal Johnson Jr., Richwood
2015: Brandon Sampson, Madison Prep

Some of those guys were not big prospects, like Joevoskie Mitchell, Dee Wagner and Reginal Johnson Jr.

If Mike White is the best UF can do as a new coach I like our chances in getting Noah Dickerson. They already lost 1 player from their class in KeVaughn Allen

I guess CoachD nailed the "process will be slow with Dickerson, but be patient" post. Haven't heard a peep from Dickerson
