Gators report: Strategy and personnel

KEY RETURNEES
Guard Anthony Roberson led the SEC in scoring and though he was entertaining thoughts of entering the NBA draft, he may want to reconsider following two miserable shooting performances in the NCAA tourney (4-of-23). Matt Walsh also returns to give the Gators a top perimeter game. Freshman forward Corey Brewer began to emerge as a star in season's stretch run, and freshman Al Horford is a fourth potential returning starter.

 

THE COACH
Billy Donovan has the Gators on an unprecedented run of seven consecutive NCAA appearances and the only Final Four berth in the school's history, not to mention the Gators' only SEC tournament championship. But the recent early exits -- five losses in either the first or second round of the NCAA -- has raised some questions about the Gators' toughness. He's in no danger of being fired, but as one of the country's highest-paid coaches, Donovan has got to get the Gators deeper into March. His overall record at Florida is 193-92 (88-56 SEC). Add the two years he spent at Marshall and Donovan is 228-112.

ROSTER REPORT
The Gators signed three prospects last November, all from the state of Florida. They were 6-10 forward/center Jimmy Sutton from Boca Raton, 6-5 guard David Huertas and 6-4 guard Derwin Kitchen, both of Jacksonville.

-- Senior David Lee continued his workhorse play in Florida's closing run. He scored in double figures in 11 of Florida's last 12 games, registering six double-doubles over the stretch. He finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds -- his 12th double-double of the season -- before fouling out with 3:08 left in the loss to Villanova.

Gators are under the radar this season with low expectation to achieve.  When you consider the depth they now have and the shift back to  natural playing positions, this has all the potential to be an exciting season.

Nimrod can handle the ball but I don’t have a lot of expectations on him being a major contributor at all this year. I do feel like he can come in and play for a few minutes and provide us the relief we need. I realize this kid has not even been cleared to play yet, but I guess I had some higher expectations of his role in this te ...(more)

What a disappointment this years home schedule is to a long time season ticket holder.  There is a home game against Florida State, but other than that there is not one single home pre conference game that is even slightly interesting.  Maybe St Leo's because they offer classes on the Santa Fe campus.  Seriously, Stetson, GA Southern, Troy, Florida A & M, South Alabama, American ...(more)

I have read a few reports that Nimrod Tishman, an Israeli point guard is trying to play here next year.  Do you think a Freshman point guard is enough to allow us to compete for the SEC title?  If Billy is able to get this kid eligible, I look forward to a very fun season.

Hey guys just would like to stop by and see what your thoughts were on landing Ricky P's son.  Alot of us over hear were sad to be seeing him leave as he flat out hustled to get us the best talent that he could.  Richard was a good recruiter and hopefully you'll be seeing that as time passes.  So what are your all's thoughts on landing him?
