Love some of posts! Where are the other 0'fours? Thanks Horf! I know TG a coach and can't tweet but.... Would love to read some Joakim smack, and Corey. Lee Humphrey too, not an 04 but still part of the champion team. Chris Richard? Adrian Moss? Thanks BB! Former UF Star Beal Reflects on Breakout 2012 NCAA Tourney Run - ESPN 98.1 FM / 850 AM WRUF
Boys, I'm starting to think this transfer guard from Iona is going to be pretty good. If he's good enough to play guard for Rick Pitino, he's good enough for us.
