It’s certainly subjective, but I don’t agree that it’s the prettiest shot. Best form? Maybe based on results, but I’d say Ray Allen has the nicest looking shot. Not saying Curry’s is ugly, I just never thought it was the nicest looking.
Chris Mullin had always been associated as having the most "pure" stroke whatever that means when I was kid. My contribution to the best shot debate.
I love this. I absolutely love this. What tradition. Granted it’s not a long tradition but over the last 35 years we have been an absolute blue blood. Love how Golden embraces the expectations and I love how much former players love our program. Jason with the quote about analytics and behind the back passes. Hilarious. “Wes Chandler was Percy Harvin before Percy Harvin was born.”
Looking at this and the basketball video with the alumns and I don’t know why everybody in the entire universe wouldn’t want to be a Gator. “Wes Chandler was Percy Harvin before Percy Harvin was born.”
What is confusing to me is that we had a heck of a recruiting class coming in. Given the growth of Reeves and Lane, if Jitoboh matured as well, add a couple players from the transfer portal, we could have had a very strong year next year. One I would be interested in watching. I would expect growth pains relying on so many underclassmen, but maturation over the course of the year. Firing White last year would have made far more sense. We had just had two successive recruiting classes flame out. 41st in 2020, and the two players that were nationally in the top-50 both left the program (Osifo #10, Ruzhentzev #48). Our class was 51st nationally in 2021. We were left this year with a hastily assembled team of leftovers and had a predictably disjointed season as a result. Yet, we gave our coach an extension last year while looking at a 51st ranked recruiting class, and then let him go after a "to be expected" average season but while looking at the 7th rated recruiting class?
didn't watch all of his presser (just ate and wanted to keep it down), but the welcome their wasn't particularly warming. He asked for some barking, got some, then said "that's all you got?" and didn't get more. Lame.
He needs to bring back the three on three basketball challenge that BD had for a while. When BD was first coaching here I met up with John Pelphrey and he became a regular at our noon time pick up games. Actually I was the guy that invited him into it when I had downs at Florida Gym and he was practicing by himself to get ready for that. He agreed and played with us for years. I asked John if BD would ever show up for our pick up games and he said that he wouldn't but he would have loved to play in our games.
Sully sometimes walks to the mound and waits for the home plate blue to get there to say what he wants to say. That is very respectful to the ump and he does get his message across. In basketball sometimes you want to "go off" on a ref and get a T, but it is never to get a ref on your side. It is to get your own team fired up.
Clifford Lett was a UF guard during the Norm Sloan tenure. Sloan sent an assistant out to scout a game in Pensacola to watch some kid. The assistant came back more excited about a guy named Clifford Lett, so they signed him. Lett was a great athlete, but his shooting form was atrocious as a freshman. Just chucking the ball at the hoop. But the staff worked with him and he improved his form and shooting every season, until it was a textbook form as a senior. Loved watching him play in college. He played a short stint in the NBA.
Spurrier, I hear, was quite a good high school basketball player, and could have played that in D1 ball.
