1. Will you be keeping anyone from the former staff? Often helps with continuity, but I'm not sure that we want continuity in this case. LOL

2. When his La Tech team destroyed us in the NIT game in 2014, his team played a high octane, pressing and fastbreaking style of ball. But his style of ball seemed to get more conservative at UF. What style of ball will he be bringing to Athens?

3. What can our fans expect from the UGA basketball team going forward?

4. What offensive and defensive schemes does he favor? Will he play mostly man to man defense or will we be more multiple, mixing in zones and traps and presses?

5. Has he finalized a staff? Will he be bringing anyone from his UF staff with him? (Pinkins would be a great addition!) Has he received interest in the other staff positions so far?

6. Auburn in particular has been killing us in instate recruiting. What can be done to make UGA more competitive in recruiting, particularly in the metro Atlanta area?

7. Have you given any thought to who you would like to see come back from last year's roster, as many still have eligibility left?

8. We have been plagued for years by turnovers. Will there be an emphasis on reducing turnovers? We also had real trouble rebounding in recent years and defending (in the post in particular). What can be done about these deficiencies?

9. You can't help but be impressed by how Coach White, his staff, team and the school treated Kevontae Johnson. Can you say a little bit about his situation, how his loss impacted your team and whether Johnson might play some role with the program here at UGA going forward?

That's all I can think of offhand.

Those are nine million dollar questions I'd like to have answered.

I hope the presser does not bog down into "why you left FL" and "why Georgia" and derivative questions.

Maybe it's me, but the hire is getting better and better reviews as it sinks in.

Frankly, I hope no one asks any of those "Why" questions. It's just not important at this point. White is our coach. Let's focus on our program.

I agree, with all the firings, in the conference and out, this swift hiring is looking better all the time. I wanted White bad 8 years ago. I just got my wish granted a little later than I had hoped.

What other questions do folks want White to answer?
