Back2Back National Championships. A great recruiter along with possibly landing the nations top 2 unsigned H.S. seniors, Jai Lucas and Patrick Patterson. Billy Donovan is in basketball heaven, although this year he will face his toughest task yet.

Billy Donovan is beyond compare as the best young coach in the college game. If Kentucky doesn't land Mr. P again for a retirement tour and final resurrection, then they will serve themselves well to do whatever it takes to put Billy D at the controls. He has learned well from The Master and with his own superiority and passion for his foundation, Coach Donovan uses the force with surgical precision. His teams are of the best caliber in recruits, they are physically sharp as can be, they leave it all out on the floor almost every game, and the Gators are now consistently at the pinnacle of the sport (sounds familiar Cat fans, doesn't it!). And he has achieved this at a so-called football school to boot. I put Rick Pitino number 1. And without a doubt, place Billy Donovan in the second spot.

Rick Pitino wanna-be. Recruits well yet hasnt had huge success. Went to the Final Four Championship game and has had his share for talent, but he needs a real strong breakthru team.*******UPDATE******** Won a National Championship and has been to two Final Fours. He's now an elite coach. He can recruit with the best and has won at the highest levels.

Billy Donovan is a very good coach and is getting better every year. I like the Gators second only to the Wildcats of Kentucky. I really like the name of the Florida coach also.

He has turned a dormant program into a national power in a short amount of time.

A good coach, but is wasting away in Florida where nobody cares about what UF BB does.
