Florida Gators

#4 Florida will likely drop again, after being the last unbeaten team early Saturday. They got beat by South Carolina tonight and has hurt their season, according to their coach. Anyway, another Caste team is going down, slowly but surely. Serves them right for going away from the white players that have helped them in the past. Hopefully their loss will keep WVU from falling too far in next week's poll.

How did they "go away" from the white players who helped them? David
Lee graduated. Matt Walsh left early. Ryan Applebey transferred. It
happens.

What I mean by going away from, they have 4 whites on their roster but only one plays. Back in 99-00, when they made it to the championship game, they had 5 on their roster, but started 2 whites every game, and had two other whites who averaged over 13 and 18 minutes a game. This year they have started 1 white every game, but the other whites only average 4.1, 3.2, and 2.7 minutes a game. Seems like a movement to me, but maybe I'm being too critical. I hope I'm wrong, and that Billy Donovan brings in some more good white players next year.Edited by: Colonel_Reb

Florida's fall to the caste system bothers me some also. Granted Walsh should be on this team if not for a bad decision to turn pro, They were usually one the top programs that started multiple whites. Hopefully Donovan will go back to his white players in the future

Bad news for the Florida fans. Their top 3 point man, Lee Humphrey, will miss at least 2 weeks after a bicycle accident.
