Here are my thoughts on the Final Four....
- I want Joakim Noah on my team....let’s be honest, the kid seems a little wacky but how many other All-American candidates go out and set picks or screens for his teammates?.....he is just as happy grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out 5 assists instead of scoring 20 points....he plays with a controlled reckless abandon.... I could see him being the next Dennis Rodman at the next level....a player who will do all the dirty work for his team....
- It seemed as if Florida coasted through the first four games of the tournament....but when it came to the Final Four, they kicked it up a notch against UCLA and Ohio State....
- My favorite quote of the tournament - many people, including me, thought a hungry UCLA team would beat Florida after losing to them in last year’s title game.....before the game Noah commented, "be careful what you wish for"......he was right.....
- I assume Noah, Horford, Brewer, and Green will be leaving for the NBA even though they are only juniors....
- If Florida does lose those players, the Georgetown Hoyas will be the team to beat next year if Jeff Green or Roy Hibbert do not leave for the NBA.....
- Greg Oden - gone....
- Billy Donovan now has a tough decision to make - stay at Florida or go to Kentucky.....how many of his current Florida players return next season will be a factor.....say if all four Gators decide to forgo the NBA once again and try for a three-peat, then I believe Donovan stays.....but if the nucleus of his team leaves, look for Donovan to be in Kentucky blue next season....
