Weiszer Athens BH: Why the UGA basketball staff has been along for Florida Atlantic's ride to the Final Four
“Gonazlez said holding the players accountable on the court to details every day has made FAU successful, and that mindset is how Georgia can build its program.
“What FAU is doing, I don’t know if it’s replicable any more with the current structure of NIL and the transfer portal,” Gonzalez said. “The continuity, that’s going to be difficult, but if you can get guys that love each other and truly and generally want to be there. That’s what we’re searching for.”
Miskdeen sees similarities between FAU and White’s Florida Elite Eight team and teams at Louisiana Tech with multiple ball handlers that can pass, shoot and dribble and with rim protectors.
“That’s definitely how we want to play and how we will play in the coming years at Georgia,” Miskdeen said.
Added Pastrana: “We’re still in the building portion and we’re trying to lay a foundation here. You get to watch FAU and it’s kind of ironic because me and Akeem laugh about all the times in that first year that parallel so much with stuff here in year one at Georgia. You can’t take anything for granted and this is how it’s built.”
