    Aiming to improve defensively in 2024/25, Florida basketball added FAU’s Alijah Martin through the transfer portal, a 6’2, 210-pound guard who excels defensively with his athleticism and perimeter defense, which has been put on display throughout Florida’s preseason practices.

    Martin had a successful four-year career at FAU with two trips to the NCAA Tournament including a final-four run in 2022/23, which made it hard to leave the school that took a chance on him out of high school.

    I am cautiously optimistic on Martin. I don't like having a 2 guard that isn't a lights out 3 pt shooter, but I do see some of the intangibles he brings. I am also a believer in team defense. I feel you need the whole team involved in order to play good defense, unless you want to have Martin just deny their best shooter the ball, then forget everything I just said. lol
