      <description><![CDATA[It was not a surprise that Marreese Speights declared for the NBA Tuesday and it shouldn’t be a surprise whether he stays in the draft or comes back to Florida. Unlike a lot of kids that declare for early entry to the NBA Speights is surrounded by good people who have no personal agenda. The only thing they want to ensure is that whatever decision is made it’s made with the best possible information.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Marreese Speights, Florida's 6-11 sophomore center from St. Petersburg,  has decided to enter his name in the upcoming NBA Draft. Speights will not hire an agent however, and that allows him to test the waters of the NBA while leaving the the door open for a return to Florida for his junior season.]]></description>

      <title>Hoops recruiting: The definitive 2009 list</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Now that the curtain has dropped on the 2008 season, it’s time to start focusing on the recruiting class of 2009 for Coach Billy Donovan and the Florida Gators. The Gators should have 13 on scholarship for the 2008-09 season and with only one senior (Walter Hodge), that would dictate just one signee. But, there always seems to be attrition of sorts so a transfer or someone leaving early for professional basketball will probably create at least a second scholarship for 2009 and possibly a third.

      <description><![CDATA[Nine plus five equals 14 and if you’re following Florida basketball recruiting, you know what that means. There are nine scholarship players on the present roster and there are five recruits coming in which means Florida would be one over the limit. It might seem like a problem, but Billy Donovan isn’t worrying about it.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[NEW YORK --- Florida’s basketball season came down to a lot of wishing and hoping Tuesday night. Because the Gators couldn’t hit a free throw and couldn’t convert numerous layups into made baskets, they were relegated to wishing and hoping the UMass Minutemen would miss some free throws. When UMass wouldn’t cooperate, Florida’s season came crashing to a halt in the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[NEW YORK --- Back in November of 2005, Madison Square Garden was the place that the Florida Gators found themselves and the rest of the country discovered the team that was going to emerge as the dominant team in college basketball the next two years. Tonight the Gators will be playing their first game at the Garden since that coming out party of three years ago and while the circumstances are totally different, it’s another chance to make a statement about what the future holds.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dan Werner is not big on what if and if only but when he thinks back to the beginning of February, back when the Florida Gators were 18-3 and 5-1 in the Southeastern Conference, he does have to wonder what might have been if only the Gators had been listening to Coach Billy Donovan. Instead of the National Invitation Tournament, he knows the Gators would have made the NCAA Tournament field and if they had played the month of February like they have played the three games they have played in the NIT, who knows what region they would have been sent to and how high they would have been seeded?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[TEMPE, AZ --- The wake-up call was a three-pointer by Jamelle McMillan from just left of the key with 11:02 remaining in the game. That put Arizona State up 50-48 on the Florida Gators and the rowdy crowd of 12,306 at Wells Fargo Arena must have felt like schooling sharks, ready to join in on a feeding frenzy that would bring Florida’s basketball season to an end. While the crowd was ready to blow the roof off the joint, the Gators were simply regaining their poise. Earlier in the year, this might have signaled the beginning of a run that would leave the Gators trailing by double figures. Wednesday night it was just the slap in the face the Gators needed.]]></description>
