Preview of The Gator’s 2022-23 Season

The Gators have reeled in a total of three players from the transfer portal. Coach golden took in four-star guard Will Richard from the Belmont Bruins who averaged 12.1 points, 6.o rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game as a freshman. Florida also acquired another four-star forward Alex Fudge from LSU. During his 2021-22 season, Fudge averaged just 3.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game. Concluding this information, the Gators are looking good so far considering both are listed as No. 29 and No. 32 prospects.
