- Thread starter Wildcat_girl
- Start date
Will def be interesting to see this play out..
Im of the belief that Floridas bball program is doomed the day BD leaves.. I feel the same way about Duke and Coach K.. Time will tell if I'm right or wrong

Never to late.Money talks.I'd say they will look at Archie Miller but should go after Marshall from Wichita State.I wouldn't rule out Little Rick from Minnesota either.
That remains to be seen, but they were competitive in some years before BD got there. I think they went to the final four four years before BD got there, so if they get the right coach, I don't think they will be "doomed".
Rick Barnes has taken his name out of consideration. (first)
Uf is done . SOOO happy . APril has sucked as a UK fan but this makes up for alot ( not the Wisky loss though ) . UF is the worst . 10x worse then UL and IU put together.
I have no idea why this made me laugh as hard as it did, but thank you.
Duke will definetly go down a few notches but still be a top 10 program ( are top 2 right now ) . UF was a top 10 program ( in wins and such the past 15 years ) with top 200 support now they are going back to average .
Thats a head scratcher to me as to why he couldn't get a facilities upgrade for this past couple years. I know UF is a football school, but geez, they've got the $ and the dude did win two flippin' National Titles there! Bet there's more to the story...
Is it a done deal, BD gone I've been on the road all day, I like it but at the same time will make the sec weaker, so sick of the talking heads saying our conference is weak.
When asked about the job opening, Rick Barnes said
"Don't look at me, I have already Volunteered somewhere else".
He also suggested Florida to call the Indiana Clapper instead.

Lil Richard Pitino, Grant, or Pelphrey would be my bet. Maybe name Pelphrey intern for a while to see if they can draw a big name and if not, hire John.
Why would they want little Ricky when he has sucked so bad at Minnesota?
Lon Kruger is not walking through that door ,I hear Anthony Grant is interested though
Shyatt, Pitino, Miller would be the top picks, but there will be others no one thinks about. Donovan brought name recognition to the program so I fully expect they hire a good coach. No one can replace Donovan, but they aren't going into the cellar, they'll still be in the top half of the SEC.
I hope they're not done. A good team & program in an otherwise crappy basketball conference. I hope they get a good coach.
I think their #1 target would be Gregg Marshall. #2 would be Archie Miller, and #3 would be Ricky Jr.
#1 would have been Shaka Smart had he not already taken the Texas job. I think that Marshall passes on Florida and Archie Miller takes the job. Just a guess, but it'd be a great hire for them and Miller is someone who can continue the winning tradition at Florida that Billy D started. He'll have Kasey Hill, Dorian Finney-Smith, Devin Robinson, Chris Chiozza, and Alex Murphy as the key players returning for Florida. It'll be a tough first season, but I think they'll eek out some wins and by season two Miller will have them rolling again.
BTW, I love the idea of Cal reaching out to Pel to become his new assistant here at UK. He's been a great recruiter for Billy D in the past and it'd be nice to get him back into the fold here at UK.

I don't understand this. Don't we want quality teams in our conference to prepare us to play in the tourney. If it's just us and a bunch of terrible teams, it really does us no good.
I wonder, this late in the game, who is gonna jump ship to coach UF! I think it's likely Grant is named an intern for next year while they try and gauge interest in someone like a Greg Marshall. Crazy that they didn't do more to try and make him happy!
I think they oughta reach real deep in their pockets and throw everything they have at tubby smith.
Maybe he's ready for another challenge

Please let it be Tom Crean so we can kick his Dwight Shrute tail at lest 2 times per year. Plus he can't cancel that series.
