It didn’t take long for Mike White to break through in Gainesville. After a rocky start in year one (the Gators were very up and down), last season provided a spotlight on why so many have pegged White as a rising star in the coaching ranks. White guided a mixed bag team of Billy Donovan’s players and his own to 27 wins and an appearance in the Elite Eight. The Gators started as a top 20 KenPom team and finished fifth. As Donovan left the roster in good shape, White took it and turned the program into his own and quickly.
