Really expected him to land at a program like this and good hire for Gators.

Seems like a good hire. SEC teams are taking basketball more serious last few years.
Georgia might be a step down for White. But he probably didn't have a choice. Florida was probably cutting ties anyway.

One thing UF fans were tired of regarding White was his style of play. It was hurting them in recruiting and it was not popular with their fans. Of course end of day winning cures all but Mike White came off as Billy Donovan wannabe and didn't have the basketball chops but is so well connected he'll survive due to his Dad.
