Whoever is at UF next year isn't getting a NCAAT ready team. Some of their big names just haven't lived up to the hype (Kasey Hill very specifically)

They lose Frazier, Carter, Horford and Walker now.

Lol cmon this is laughable, you realize you just listed three addition by subtractions in Carter, Horford, and Walker? The only key loss there is Frazier, but he is replaceable. Kasey has not yet lived up to the hype but he has his moments and is more than capable of leading the team.

Then you have Chiozza another solid guard, also Allen coming in this year. We return Finney-Smith (like how you glossed over that btw). Egbunu is a transfer big man we got last year that will eligible this year (was dominant at USF). Then you have Devin Robinson who will be more mature this year, and Devon Walker who sat out last season due to injury. Brandone Francis was another highly touted player who was ineligible that will eligible this year. Then you add in Stone and Dickerson who will also be solid. LSU is full of guards and not many big men. UF will finish ahead of y'all in the SEC.

I don't know whether to laugh at that or feel sorry for you.

How is it addition by subtraction when you 2 of those 3 guys were starters last year (or at least played 20+ minutes a game)? You didn't have anyone better...and before you say you're bringing in this guy or that guy, might I remind you once again your signees, specifically Dickerson who is coming there for Donovan alone, could jump ship if he does. also, while UF has a well rounded class, you aren't bringing in any super big 1 and done types who would likely be big time contributors right away. Nobody ranked in the Top 50...and your top big man signee is only going there because of Donovan.

Also, funny you say losing Walker is addition by subtraction yet go to say:

Who is pretty much in the exact same boat as Walker. A very highly rated player who has vastly underperformed. So which is it since you want to skew things each way to your benefit.

quote:
Then you have Chiozza another solid guard

Who averaged under 4 points a game and had a < 2:1 AST TO ratio and shot under 40% and 32% from 3.

quote:
also Allen coming in this year

An undersized 2 guard who will be a freshman and will likely need a couple years to develop. Dude is like 160 pounds at 6'1-6'2?

quote:
We return Finney-Smith

Who is the only person that scares anyone on your team for next year, don't see how you don't get this.

quote:
Dickerson

Likely WONT be there if Donovan leaves, kinda the point of the thread.

quote:

We have plenty of big man, just a lot of unproven guys, but I'd take Ben Simmons over anyone on your roster. Also Craig Victor was a top 50 player. All our big men last year were freshmen and sophomores that played any.

LMAO are you fricking kidding? You guys finished with a losing record and are losing guys left and right now (3 of Top 5 scorers) and stand to lose your coach who turned your program into something. But yeah, you'll totally be better than a team that was much better than you this year and stands to be even better this year while you look to be no better.
