Liam McNeely, 5-star SF from Monteverde has decommited from IU.

If Handlogten can make strides with his strength training in the offseason and refine his offense (especially FT shooting), he could be a beast next season. Condo too, can't wait to see if he makes a sophomore jump. Hoping to hell both of them are on the team next season, Haugh too (can't see why not)
Rioux will be fun to see in limited minutes. Wonder if a summer with our S&C program can do anything for his explosiveness, or at that size there's not a lot of room for improvement in that area

 

We pulled these two from the portal. There’s no reason to think Golden can’t replace them with the portal.

 

If he pulls portal gems like these three again, he's a Golden T(G)odd. Just pay the man what he wants

 

TV- well of course but from my perspective that's a very tough ask.

These two blended, are statistically at the top of the Gator heap and I haven't heard anything negative from a locker room perspective.

Damn good players. I hope they go out on a run, it's been a real pleasure rooting for these guys.

I trust their decisions to give it one last year of eligibility, will enhance their chances at the professional level.

One of the great aspects of UF basketball fandom, over a 31 game regular season and SEC tournament, is developing our own perceptions and opinions of players. Big Sam and Pullen are really fun to watch.

 

I heard Handlogten was a lacrosse player. That seems nuts. Unfair even.

 

that being he slides into the backup 5 role

 

yes we have, uphill battle I am sure

 

Yeah, but we've been turning a lot of heads lately.

 

And filling pockets.

 

I've gotta believe Olivier Rioux will redshirt. Not sure he's ready to play at Golden's pace as a freshman.

 

Condo's post moves are impressive, and I'm certain he'll be working hard on his shooting over the summer. The upside of Thomas and Condo is incredibly high.

 

Excuse me, who is Eye chart?

 

Eye chart?
Handles?

 

Stojakovic transferring is a huge deal. I fully expect us to be top 2 for him. He’s much more of a possible impact guy as already has college experience. Went for 8 and 3.5 on a bad team. Easily could be a 10 and 5 guy here next year. Tough kid that is over 6”7 and has played a ton of basketball.

 

Eye Chart = Szymczyk
Handles = Handlogten

Back in the day, Dyrkolbotn's teammates called him Eye Chart.

 

None of us can spell Shimmy's name, but this is the first time that I heard Alphabet used as a substitute name.

 

The Norwegian Collegian!

 

Ok, I am a little slow on Russian, LOL

 

Spelled backwards you get Kyzcmyzs. "Kiss-Miss" might be a little easier to pronounce....maybe.
Some things are better off left unsaid.

 

Who here can spell Coach K's full name off the top of their head? I still cannot understand how it doesn't start with the letters "sh" or even "CH"?

Can I please buy a vowel here?
