Billy D Thoughts; We Are Possibly Landing An (Arguably) Top 15 All-Time Coach​

Resume:

71.5% W/L%
6 SEC Regular season titles, 4 SECT Titles (10 total which is 3rd best All time)
NCAAT:
8 Sweet 16s
7 Elite 8s
4 Final 4s (2000, 2006, 2007, 2014)
3 Title games
2 NCAA titles
1 Runners-up
35-12 W/L in NCAAT for 74.5% which is #3 all time (behind Wooden and Coach K)

Took that 2014 Florida team (which had 0 impact NBA players) to AP#1, 36-3 record, 21-0 in SEC, 30 straight wins, Final 4. Was as good a coaching job as any in the 2010s decade.

Finished career at Florida with 2011 Elite 8, 2012 Elite 8, 2013 Elite 8, 2014 Final 4.

Was considered one of the 2-3 best recruiters in the game; Was the main recruiter landing most of the 1995 and 1996 UK teams.

IIRC he recruited Jeff Sheppard in 1993, which MAY help with Reed.

With his drive, personality, our NIL money, and the fact many of the very best portal guys won't be known till after the draft deadline, we can and WILL be terrific his 1st season.
