Walter! How did I miss this!? I watched him play at bartow his state championship year. Dude is a baller

 

[GatorJ]

Very cool, but the next important step (other than getting the current players to gel) is to elevate the HS recruiting up to Billy Ball standards.

We will find out in a couple days. -#29 7’2 C John Bol commits in the next day or so.

That’s like 2 URGs worth of wingspan

Perfect type of guy to fill one of the final spots with. Coming off knee surgery but if healthy, buddy can shoot

 

[maheo30]

Yes please! More shooters please!

If he is inspired by Manute's 3 game I'll take him.

6'5 three shooter to stretch the floor? Yes please.

 

[PastyStoole]

Gators nab a "Used to three and never D" guy for coach Buttigieg. Guard Julian Rishwain sported a 6.7 PER last year and a slick .269 shooting percentage as a senior at San Fransissyco. He'll fit in well with our non-shooting ballers. His defensive rating, which was over 107, would be the worst on the team.
