Boogie has played much better in the past few games compared to where he was at originally, which was verging on being a portal bust. His defense was always pretty strong though even when he was struggling mightily offensively. That being said, Acuff is gonna win that matchup 9/10 times. Boogie and Lee just need to play "decently" and our bigs can win us games against almost anybody.
Golden definitely diddled Oats, with his NBA player and everything.

Chin may be stat padding some considering how many shots we brick, he gets a lot of opportunities for offensive boards. :)

That being said.. still gotta go up and get em.
He's our MVP this year. Is Haugh a better overall player? He probably will be, but Chinyelu does so much on the boards and on defense, this team would be in serious trouble without him.
We became a respectable (well, as respectable as one can be whilst also getting ncaa sanctions) under Norm Sloan in the late 80s. Lon Kruger took us to our first Final four in 94 but other than that his tenure was not great.

We don't talk about anything before that.
I've seen more air balls from this squad than any in recent memory and somehow we're still a top ten squad. It's wild. Even another one just now from our true freshman who's supposed to be a good shooter lol.
Florida not playing all that well in the first half. I bet Golden ripped into them at halftime.

Condon and Boogie never need to take 3s again lmao. In fact Boogie needs to not take any shots at all aside from layups. Our ball movement is good enough to not need those two doing anything crazy.
He's better than Boogie, Hogs made the right call there. Boogie plays hard on defense and can be a streaky scorer but for the most part the guy just bricks a ton of shots and ruins our momentum every game.
Ladies, ladies. You all bow to the Florida basketball program led by Gropin' Golden. No need to fight for your top harem spot.
Cam had the best single season of the three, Tebow had the best collegiate career of the three. I think VY is a tier right below both and not a factor. So it depends on what the specific criteria is.
Is it based on their entire careers (NBA) or just what they did in college? That would change one or two of my picks I think.
Damn they were being some bitches. Hope we get them again, we played like shite offensively and still stomped them.
Oats got an Alabama judge to let an NBA player join his squad mid season just to get butt fricked by Florida just as bad or worse than they would have gotten butt fricked without him. Golden said they'd whip their arse and they did. Sad

Looking at this map, Missouri may really be SEC after all.
What he may be referring to and really misconstrued are rumors that Stricklin preferred McMahon and Billy Donovan had to convince him to go with Golden. Don't know if any of that is true outside of that we do know Donovan advocated for Golden, however Stricklin is so fricking dumb one can almost believe it.
I'm not ruling out Lagway turning it around after a fresh start at a good situation, but he was garbage this past year and hasn't been healthy since he stepped on campus. Napier's offense was obviously trash too but the majority of Lagway's mistakes were his to own. Hasn't clicked between the ears at all yet, and he doesn't have the legs (whether it's injury, being overweight, or just timid mentally) to even be considered a true dual threat right now to make up for the poor decision making. Simply disastrous mechanics, throwing off his back foot and side armed as often as not.

By all accounts seems like a good kid but I do question his drive and desire. He's often too nonchalant and had multiple responses to the media basically like "oh shucks, well I'm just having fun playing football" when questioned about his and the team's play. Never appears to show any emotion except "dead eyed stare from the bench". He's not in shape. Maybe this serves as a wake up call and he gets it together at his next stop, assuming he finally gets truly healthy. No problem with Sumrall not rolling out the red carpet for him and appeasing him and his agent just because the last staff did. His play hasn't called for it.
I'll say this, if it's not Kiffin, fans have worked themselves into a frenzy and there's only a couple other (unrealistic) names that would soften that blow to the psyche.

I don't think Kiffin is a Spurrier or Meyer (maybe he could be one day) so these reported offers are insane but I think Lane is seen as the "safest" slam dunk hire available. Which is funny because in years previous he was considered a risk. Hell, the next Meyer could be someone like Sumrall or Golesh for all we know, but the admin knows at this point that they can't risk it with one of those types of hires this time around. Unless things get extremely desperate.

I think the majority of fans would be very disappointed with Fisch, even if he may be a decent coach. I have literally heard nothing about Kliff smoke except from this Caw (real or imposter, who's to say).
Ole Miss fans seem convinced that if he doesn't sign the extension before the playoffs they should suspend him. I mean, if he is coming to Florida I'm not complaining about getting him on board earlier than expected, but from their perspective I'm not sure how that helps them win in the playoffs. I guess just a principle thing? I'm not sure their admin would be on the same wavelength as the fans in this regard.
