Listener Question Season Preview and U-MASS Lowell Preview
Neil W. Blackmon (Saturday Down South) and Eric Fawcett (Gator Country) team up to talk all things Gators Basketball. On this episode, they continue their season preview with listener questions on issues ranging from the team's ceiling, go-to-players, defensive identity, pro comparisons for Scottie Lewis and Colin Castleton and questions about the Gator backcourt. The guys also discuss why a versatile frontcourt and an improved Omar Payne could key a bounce back season defensively. Plus, is Florida's 7 year NBA draft drought about coaching? Is it an indictment of Florida's player development? Or is it an argument that the team has overachieved and done more with less? Somewhere in between? The guys discuss it, as well as the weird take that Mike White "damaged" Kerry Blackshear Jr.'s pro prospects. Finally, the guys break down Florida's season opener against U-Mass Lowell, and why it's a sneaky good game to have before a Black Friday date with Virginia.
