    The transfer portal season is well underway and while the Gators were able to get some quality pieces early they still have scholarships available and holes to fill on their roster. Key pieces like Riley Kugel, Walter Clayton, and Will Richard are in place and Florida might not need another marquee starter, but there are still roles to fill–mainly on the perimeter.

    Are we showing enough interest to extend an offer to Pullin?
    The Big 10 is boring and he'll enjoy the weather better here.

    I have only watched a little film on Pullin, but he looked to me like he would be one of our 2 best players along with Kugel. I intend to watch a full UC Riverside game. I found one on YouTube.

    If you do a YouTube search for UC Riverside basketball, you will find a 25 minute video of UC Riverside vs Oregon. Oregon won in a close game, but Zyon Pullin looked like the best player on the court. He has a shot at the NBA. It would be a monstrous get if the Gators could get him.

    He almost certainly would be our starting point guard.

    Watching the film, it looks like he was a wide array of skills. Can score in lots of ways.

    Up here in Washington the word is that Gonzaga is pushing hard for Mr. Pullin.

    They already have Ryan Nembhard. He will start is my guess. That would push Pullin to the 2. They also have other quality guards.

    I hope you're right. Not a huge Zag fan, personally.
