Apparently we won’t clear him to play…


Which means he’ll go somewhere else, play us, and drop 30 on our heads
Probably looking at a mid major or lower tier good program as a role player if a school does clear him

you don’t think a larger school would take a gamble on him?
I do not. Its been 2 years, no running during that time, very little basketball, legal issues pending, looking at only a slight impact if he finds a school that will clear him

It's my understanding that Keyontae's insurance policy which was paid for by UF has restrictions on how many games Keyontae can actually play. Not sure what Keyontae is trying to accomplish. Take the insurance money and call it a day.

Florida's Johnson joins portal, hopes to play again
Scot Brantly had a brain aneurysm and UF wouldn't clear him. He went on to play many years for the Bucs.
Nearon Ball wasn't cleared and played in the NFL but it ended badly for him. Now Keyontae.
I wish him luck.

Okay well when he follows White to UGA and tears us up, it’s on you and you only.

:lol:

I personally think a bigger school (P6) will give him a shot. He has lottery pick skills but obviously comes with rust and risk.

Because it's more of a baseball term? IDK? But I'm with you. Why couldn't Broome see the situation as a great college time with the friendship & camaraderie with Castleton as an outstanding power duo.? Does any coach present that picture.? We need that to be sold when there might be worry of being overshadowed.

I wish him luck as well but if this is accurate he shouldn't even take the chance. He has a guaranteed payout which could generate a conservative annual income of $200,000 for the rest of his life.

Florida men's basketball forward Keyontae Johnson is deciding between pursuing a professional career or cashing in on a $5 million insurance policy, per the Associated Press.

I guess Dyontae saw & sees his life of happiness as playing on the court. Some significant person had better break his next fall before it becomes too late.

It looks like we will try for 2 more transfers. It seems like top 100 Riley Kugel is a serious question mark due to grades. Nothing will be known about that for a few months.

247 has now moved SG Riley Kugel to top 50 (48th). On3 has him at 42. Espn at 62. There does seem to be hope in regards to his grades. Last week Golden said they plan to add 3 more players. Kugel will definitely be one of them as long as the grades are in order. The other 2 will be from the portal.

On an interview with Andy Katz the other day (I think it was yesterday) Golden said we should be announcing a guard transfer in the coming days.

Wonder if it’s the dude from Oklahoma or the one from St Boni. Any inside knowledge?

St. Bonnie plays basketball the way it should be played. Lofton is a very good get -- a settling influence on our team.
