Florida basketball’s 2021-22 campaign is well in the books — and speaking of books, the end of the season also brought the end of the [autotag]Mike White[/autotag] chapter of the program’s history. With former San Francisco Dons head coach [autotag]Todd Golden[/autotag] now at the helm the Gators will be looking to rebuild in the coming seasons.
The roster that White put together in his final year in Gainesville, while very much a Frankenstein’s monster type of creation out of necessity was also loaded with experience and enough talent to spare. However, after an early honeymoon period in which it appeared that the team had coalesced around its seniority, things quickly fell apart and never quite found their footing afterward.
After a heart-breaking opening-round loss in overtime to the Texas A&M Aggies in the SEC Tournament, the Gators took their invite to the NIT sans White where they beat the Iona Gaels in the first round but then took a spanking at the hands of the Xavier Musketeers to end the season.
Take a look back below at the 2021-22 roster including [autotag]Keyontae Johnson[/autotag], who got in a ceremonial start despite being medically inactive while also serving as a de facto bench coach.
