Serious question- is Mullen even trying? 3rdWardGator 5/5/2021 - 3:46 p.m.

I don't follow basketball recruiting but why can't Mike White recruit any highly rated big men? Destin Gator 3/22/2021 - 10:00 a.m.
• I thought when BD hired the ex-Clemson coach for the big men it made a difference* * CascadesGator 5/2/2021 - 7:51 p.m.
• BD never did either. Noah and Horford were not that highly rated coming out of HS. * crl 3/22/2021 - 1:15 p.m.
• David Lee was, as was Kwame brown* * CascadesGator 5/2/2021 - 7:50 p.m.
• Matt Bonner. Had a 12 year NBA career. * BelmontGator 3/29/2021 - 3:41 p.m.
• Big guys take longer to develop. Often are lower rated comig out of HS. * BelmontGator 3/29/2021 - 3:40 p.m.

• He was before Hortford and Noah so I didn't count him. * gatsby 3/24/2021 - 10:38 a.m.

• I’m talking top 25 although admittedly I didn’t remember Horford being ranked that high. Was that in crl 3/23/2021 - 7:50 a.m.
• Donovan usual got a big in recruiting or as a transfer... gatsby 3/23/2021 - 9:34 a.m.
• Still nothing that spectacular. And Parsons was more of a guard than a big. At least that’s how he crl 3/23/2021 - 10:01 a.m.
• Parsons led the Gators in rebounds as a Sr and Jr and was second as a So. He was not a guard gatsby 3/23/2021 - 12:29 p.m.
• Still not really what I consider a “big”. Good player though. Wish we could sign someone that good crl 3/23/2021 - 1:04 p.m.
