BILLY DONOVAN RUMORS
Inside the boxscore: UConn 65, UF 64

No. 10 Florida short-handed to start season
Between injuries, illnesses and suspensions, Florida coach Billy Donovan doesn't know what to make of his team right now.
Well, he does have one thought.
''We're not even remotely close to being No. 10 in the country,'' Donovan said.
The ranked Gators already are dealing with adversity - and they're still more than four months away from March Madness...

One-handed basketball recruit commits to Florida
The University of Florida just added a pretty remarkable player to their roster for the 2014-15 season. Zach Hodskins was born without the lower half of his left arm, and on Saturday, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound high school senior from Milton, Ga., verbally committed to Florida as a preferred walk-on. “It’s always been my dream growing up,” Hodskins said. “I never expected...
One-Handed Guard Commits to Florida
A little over two months after Florida men’s basketball coach Billy Donovan offered one-handed phenom Zach Hodskins a preferred walk-on spot for the 2014-2015 season (meaning that he’d be guaranteed a spot on the team but wouldn’t be on scholarship), Hodskins has taken the Gators up on that offer.

Despite tourney titles, Donovan being overlooked
Maybe its their underachieving nature and lack of flashy offense.
Maybe its because of the quality and margin of their wins.
Maybe theyve been looked over because of the down nature of their conference this season. Or, maybe, people arent convinced they have the talent to advance any further than this weekend.
Whatever the reason, Billy Donovan and his Florida Gators are not...

Smith and Donovan old friends, rivals from SEC
Sunday may feel like old times for Minnesota's Tubby Smith and Florida's Billy Donovan. They certainly are familiar with each other.
