When Florida hired Mike White as the men’s basketball coach to take over for UF legend Billy Donovan, forward Devin Robinson had never heard White's name.
“I didn’t know who he was,” Robinson said.
Before Donovan left, he spoke with the forward, who was just a freshman at the time.
“He told me he was going to put us in a position that we weren’t going to be disappointed (in) as a team,” Robinson said. “So I listened.”
Two years later, White and Robinson are leading the Gators on a postseason push.
Robinson, UF’s third-best regular-season scorer, is shouldering the Gators’ offense, averaging 19 points per game through the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
