Great quotes from Mike. Glad to see this kid gets it and I think he will be a big force down the stretch.

Rosario's errant pass referenced in the linked story was certainly something. It was so bad I went straight past annoyance to amusement. I'm surprised Mike didn't break someone's nose with that one.

That was a good read. It sounds like Mike is really growing up under Billy's guidance. He'll be a force in the dance.

I noticed that on the TV when Mike was riding the pine. He was really vocal and encouraging, and very congratulatory to Prather during the game. Great attitude.

I hope Rosario/Prather can somehow keep Braxton on this team after this season. I hope Rosario can show him that being on the bench doesn't have to be a bad thing and that Prather can show him that if you wait your time, good things can happen.

Back on topic, Im so happy Rosario has matured since he's been here. If we are going to win it all, we are going to need him.

Braxton is going to be an excellent college player, and that's just beginning to show up. He's the quickest guy on the court.

This attitude is what wins championships. I really like this kid. He gets it!

Sounds like a candidate for at least the "team player" award. Could have easily sulked and become a cancer like many would. Looking for a big game from him vs vandy.

Mike came to Florida for exactly what he is getting, coaching. He wanted to be held accountable and learn how to be a better basketball player and teammate.

He was never going to become a complete player at Rutgers. He knew that and his transfer will turn out to be one of the best decision that he will ever make in regards to his career.

Great attitude by Mike. We'll need him but, we need to get kb and PY to play to their potential too if we are going to make a deep run.

Hell, I would accept 90% of potential if all regular players attained it every game. Don't see anyone beating us at 90%. Of course, a consistent 90% would be a big step up for a few (or most) of our players right now.
