Wow! What a great pickup.

 

[MertzJay26]

Never doubted Todd over here

2nd transfer in. Love Handlogten

First, when the thread title reflected our 7'0 center I thought it was for football and our line was getting even bigger.

Second, I already see the nickname 'handlotion' being applied to him by all you wet dreamers in here.

Lastly, someone in the UF graphics dept needs to be shot. Blow up the image of the player BIGGER so you aren't pasting a gator head logo over his crotch. Sheesh

Now the question, can he do this again much better competition?

UF graphics Dept is one of the best in the country.

This was not created by the UF graphics department.

It was created by On3

You mean like against NCAA Champion, UConn? I think that qualifies as better competition.

95% from the the charity stripe on the season to boot.

I didn’t watch the tournament. I only care about Florida. If they are out I don’t watch.

That’s why you come here, to get informed. We’d rather shine a light than curse your darkness.

No, we wouldn't.

With clearly the best transfer class incoming, I wonder if we can get more to come and even a 5 star or two

 

[Egor's Assistant]

Unlike Whitey, Golden Boy looks like he is choosing recruits for a particular system he wants to run. Whitey just recruited whether they fit into anything or not. He had no clue how to put together a roster. Golden Boy seems to be the opposite.

Really liking this roster he's putting together. Had a belly full of fear when the season ended and all the transfers bolted. But looks like we'll end up with a team worthy of the jersey logo. Go Get 'Em Goldie!

 

[aka]

Florida is still Florida. It has a great reputation, great resources and is in a great conference. Mike White was in an unenviable position following Billy D. I appreciate what he tried to do but I am glad he's gone. I'm still not sure what we have in Golden but he seems to be earning some leeway.

Liar.

Liar.

‘Twas sarcasm

Looking like 2 more good transfers

Possibly Tylor Perry and Tyrese Samuel. Then the 3rd spot is a wild card. Possibly Dedan Thomas who wouldn't enroll until Jan and redshirt (2024 class, top 5 PG)

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Tyrese Samuel

Don't we still have Wiz Khalifa visiting this weekend? I think I'd take him over Samuel.

 

[t-gator]

Yeah I agree. A stretch big that can pass and has 2 years of eligibility. And can play next to handlogten. I would imagine we'd take him first
