Our chances were about 50%, I don't think it was an exact amount... PSU is the main competition.

Why is everyone writing UF off in BBall?

They have 4 top 100 players on their roster and three more coming in this fall. Donovan has proven he can rebuild quickly.

And their football recruiting is just sick - including four OL the past two years who were rated in the top 15 at their position. If I am a top drawer QB I want to come in a couple years after the great OL classes - not with them.

The biggest difference between OSU and UF in both sports the past few years is that UF has actually won three National Championships.

Not trying to be a negative Nellie - just trying to keep some perspective.
Actually, you could say QBs don't usually start until their Soph/Jr season, so if you are coming in after these types of OLine classes you could either miss the boat altogether, or not play with them when either is in their prime. Whereas if you come in with them, both should mature on the same level.

Great post. I've been thinking the same thing. We all love the Bucks, but to disparage Florida at this point...well that dog won't hunt...

I think it's going to come down to tOSU and UF. It seems more and more that he wants to go to a national powerhouse for football and a good bball team is just icing on the cake (which both schools have).

I really don't see him going to PSU. The basketball team is one of the worst in D1 as far as the "BCS" conferences go. The only reason any Pitt fans still have hope is because that he did initially commit to us. Since he backed off of that verbal, there has been little implication to think he still has major interest in choosing Pitt.

Like I said in an earlier post, I'll be very surprised if he isn't wearing Scarlett and Gray in '08. He is obviously a big fan of the Buckeyes and the only way he doesn't go there in my eyes, is if tOSU does something dumb to stir him away, like replacing a coach.

I hope I'm eating my words come NLOID, but I'm not going to make a mistake and get my hopes up.

Billy Donavon might be headed out the door. He just interviewed with Memphis for the head coaching job/ GM responsiblities. He is already taking interviews and the playoffs are only in the second round, I feel there is a good shot we can write him off. If he is interested in a bad team while the league is still playing it can almost be for sure that he would take a coaching job in Toronto when dealing with a playoff team. I think he is gone and the UF will not be a factor. What happened to the statements Pryor made that location is a difference maker. Then he schedules a visit to UT and now we are all talking about UF?

Donovan burned that bridge by asking for total control. Back to UF for BD.
