    When Florida announced the signing of point guard Kajus Kublickas, it wasn’t a common name among American recruiting circles. That’s because Kublickas, a native of Lithuania, wasn’t in the American system at all but instead came from the development program of Zalgiris, the top club in all of the basketball-crazed nation of Lithuania and one of the best teams in Europe. Coming to Gainesville he didn’t have much opportunity to play as a freshman given he was behind Zyon Pullin and Walter Clayton, but he’s someone loaded with offensive talent that has received high-level coaching, and whenever he’s called upon he’ll likely be ready to contribute.

    If we can get Urban cleared, we're going to be so deep at the PG position

    Given our track record with the NCAA, I'm not holding my breath.

    Sucks, but at this point I'm going to expect him next year and let myself be surprised if it comes together.

    dudes in USA: Get paid $2M under guise of "NIL"
    dudes overseas: can't even play against professionals or receive expense money, let alone NIL

    NCAA is.........something

    My son works at the O'Connell Center and was very impressed with Kublickas' shot while watching warmups last year.

    If he was a Duke recruit this would have been over a long time ago.
