I have to disagree with you bradgator. He’s had McDonald’s AA and lots of high 4 star and some 5 star players. Many other teams do more with far less. Granted this team is a hodgepodge of transfers but up until this year he’s had talent.
It was a fun little moment. Too bad they couldn’t finish it. When they went up three in OT, sadgator thought they were gonna get it.
I will bet you $20, payable by Venmo, you can’t name an SEC school in the last 6 years with more conference wins, tournament appearances or tournament wins, that has recruited worse than Mike White.
Besides, I think the only team with more conference wins is UK and no one in the SEC has more tournament appearances than UF

Mike's many failures include:
LOL! You crack me up....Good news for you is White won't be fired. He will get another season, And like 6 of his 7 seasons next year will be double digit losses and bubble time.
Why did you list all the recruits Mike White signed? Look at the list. It is embarrassing. How many of those guys ever developed or finished their college career at UF? They all either were misevaluated, we’re never developed or transferred out. Very few ever amounted to anything. Nobody from his 2016, 2017 or 2018 class ever even finished at UF besides KJ. It wasn’t until his 2019 class that a player actually did something (Mann - NBA). There is already only 1 guy left from his 2020 class. It isn’t a pretty picture.
Respect your opinion, but disagree with everything you said.
Most of us see that you speak for yourself.
March sadness: 3 thoughts on Florida’s bubble bursting loss to Texas A&M in SEC Tournament
Florida's NCAA Tournament streak will end. Will Mike White's tenure? A lot was at stake Thursday in Tampa.
The Gators have been a bubble team in 3 of White’s 7 years, ending on the wrong side of the bubble twice. Florida hasn’t truly competed for an SEC championship since his third season, when the Gators finished 3rd in the league and led the SEC and the country in Quad 1 wins.
That means the program with the 2nd-most SEC titles over the past 30 years hasn’t competed to win 1 in the past 4 seasons. Florida simply has too much tradition, too much administrative support and too good a natural recruiting base to not compete for SEC championships. Scott Stricklin doesn’t have a hoops background, but he can see the banners in Exactech Arena, as well as the increasing number of empty seats at home games. Apathy is a dangerous thing, and Florida must play better on the court in 2022-23.
There are whispers, however, that White may be looking to make a graceful exit. Shaka Smart did this at Texas last offseason, jumping on a less high-profile, but still high-quality job, at Marquette. White may find a similar move, to say, a respected Big East program like Butler, equally appealing. Should the job open at his alma mater Ole Miss, perhaps there would be mutual interest.
As for Florida, they may view a departure by White as an opportunity for both sides to gain a fresh start. Should White show interest elsewhere, it’s distinctly possible the Gators may be willing to let him walk away.
In any event, Florida basketball needs an identity, whether White continues or doesn’t.
Everything you just said is wrong. You don’t follow it close enough if you think “the roster being patched together” had nothing to do with Whiites roster management. Guess what? We have 6 seniors. All former transfers. It is going to be “patched” together again next season. Sorry but you haven’t been paying attention obviously.
I see. By more you just meant other than conference wins, tournament appearances and tournament wins.
Last year they lost KJ.
This year they lost backup C Jitoboh who was finally coming on and getting playing time.
Others missed games injured at critical times.
Of course, those kinds of player losses don't mean a thing, just like dealing with Co-V didn't matter...
And as crappy as he recruits and coaches, isn't it amazing that he makes a post season tourney every year and has never had a losing season....
This was in the post game interview, before any in-depth review of the game.
