What if...

... Billy Donovan has stayed with the Magic? Its a scenerio that came to fruition for one short week after our second straightt National Championship.

Would we have been better off had he stayed away?

I'm honestly not sure where i stand on this one. We're definitely not better off than we were before he played that game for a week.

I'm not sure. One way to know is to see where Bama is in a couple of years

Why isn't this on the basketball forum?

Kind of leaving it open-ended. But, I'm not against moving it

Ok done

I think Billy has done allot for us, and I'm glad to have him here. I think were better off with him with us, were going to have a good team next year. One of the reasons we haven't been very good is because we have had the most players leave early for the NBA draft since like 2003 or something. That's also a reason for the depth problems, We should be pretty good next year. We have some recruits coming in that should make an immediate impact.

[gatorfan122-b-21]

Your right, but when he left and came back, that scared a lot of potential recruits off. I think it hurt us short term but he'll turn it around in a year or two. I just think the whole thing was unnescicary and did hurt us.

[GatorRobby]

Yeah I think it hurt us short term to,were going to be good this year. CP will be a beast this year!

[gatorfan122-b-21]

I think were definitely in the tourney this yaer and depending on Kentucky and Tennessee, we have a shot at the SEC Title.

Haha I'm calling it Kentucky will be on probation in three years.
