By: Eric Fawcett -- July 18, 2023 Throughout the year we have been doing Q&A articles for our subscribers here at Gator Country, and since Florida has finished up the roster for the 2023-24 season and we’ve entered the dog days of the summer, it’s time for another one! If you haven’t already read the first two installments of the series you can read part one here, and part two here. Gator Country Basketball Offseason Q&A Part Three | GatorCountry.com
Music to my ears: "....Walter Clayton was one of the best catch and shoot players in the country last season knocking down over 46% of his catch and shoot threes. Overall he hit 43% from three on over five attempts per game, and that is like a breath of fresh air for a Florida team that was desperate for shooting. "Yale transfer EJ Jarvis....is an extremely impressive individual, as you might expect from a Yale graduate, and he was known for his leadership at Yale. In addition to his intelligence on and off the floor he’s someone who plays the game extremely hard in a “lead by example” type of approach, and he’s a loud communicator who will make sure guys get to where they need to be on the floor."
It's a bit unfair to say the style of offense was bad, when you later admit that the 3-point shooting was abysmal. No system will shine if you can't make shots.
