He knows Florida has gone from a potential No. 1 preseason ranking to a team nobody will pick to win the SEC East. I think they're bothered by the perception we won't be any good next year. They'll use that as motivation and I will, too. They feel there is a slight on them as players. It all comes back to me, how I act.
Some coaches try to paint a bleak picture.
I still like our team. I like the makeup and the character of our team. While the losses of the two players, plus Kenyan Weaks , hurts Florida, this will still be a team with seven players returning from a national runner-up, seven players who have been through an incredible ride, seven players with experience. So Donovan is pumped. Especially because he gets his team back on the practice court July 29 to prepare for a trip to France.
