I think Florida will give Billy whatever he wants, the school went decades with a lousy program (though Norm Sloan wasn't bad) I doubt they want to risk that again.

I find it amazing that I finished in 10th position while being the homer. Unbelieveable. -Scott

Yes, you took Marquette all the way to the championship. Does this mean you have the Brewers going all the way as well? :) - Jeff

Just as interesting: Florida planned a 4 p.m. news conference Thursday to formally announce Donovan's decision. Juniors Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Joakim Noah also were to be there, announcing whether they are staying in school or turning pro. I may tear myself away from the Masters to catch that.

Looks like it. Too bad... it was 'special' but it could have been one of the all time best stories in sports if they had come back... and won again. Donovan staying at FloridaAssociated Press GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Billy Donovan wanted to stay. His star players knew it was time to go. Donovan spurned a chance to return to Kentucky and take over the tradition-rich program, saying Thursday he hopes to build the same in Gainesville. He'll have to do it without Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Joakim Noah. The four juniors will enter the NBA draft, saying they have accomplished all they could at Florida. abclocal.go.com

The four juniors will enter the NBA draft, saying they have accomplished all they could at Florida. That's a real shame. In my opinion, none of the four is NBA-ready. None of them comes even close to guys like Michael Jordan, LeBron and many of the other players that came out early. That's not to say that they won't make it in the pros; merely that (in my opinion) they'd be better off playing their senior year at Florida and then taking their chances in the NBA draft. I suspect that the usual suspect reasons (fear of permanent injuries, fear of failure to repeat current successes, a perceived pressing need for big money, etcetera) lie at the roots of their collective decision. EK!!!

They also mentioned to Donovan that they were basically wiped out. I could see that -- the stress of trying to repeat, with everyone gunning for you and everything you do under the microscope. I think Brewer and Horford are pretty close to ready and will make good pros. Not sure about Noah. Green could have definitely used another year. Can't say I blame any of them for taking the money and running, though.
