Great get in Lofton. What we needed. Get Kugel in and we are looking pretty great

 

[MidwestChomp]

Lofton is a solid pick up from a really good program. I like that he has average over 5 assists (6 assists per game the last 3 years) and just a little over 2 turnovers a game. I hope that will carry over to SEC play.

Assuming Kugel gets in, we still have one more spot. The two names mentioned are Osun Osunniyi and Josh Mballa. Mballa is visiting right now.

Dude’s good. I have high hopes for next season

Definitely still need another big

Who's the other quality PG? Bonham?

 

[rogdochar]

Lofton should bring complete floor leadership. His presence will radiate high-motor, start-to-finish stamina.
Hope he can sucker our SEC opponents into fouling him. He will be good floor general and general team-wide motivator.

Really Really solid pick up here. All A-10 player wich is usually a multi bid league. Now Bonham can be a sparkplug off the bench. We need another big and I think I might like our roster next year.

OO's the bigger of the two so he'd be my pick, and being from St. Bonnie, would fit well with Lofton. Though Mballa would Golden's first euro player as Gator HC.

About an hour or two after posting this, Osun Osunniyi committed to Iowa St. So, it is either MBalla or wait to see who pulls out of the draft.

Golden has GatorNation looking forward to a basketball season for a change. For SEC play he will have to do some learning on the job, but that route seems what he is suited for. Maybe our Gator players will learn as the season goes instead of stagnating or getting worse.?
This basketball season has that surprise bonus = beat UGa, beat White Still, and Castleton needs a tall, dynamic buddy to make it a slam dunk.

Mballa signs with Ole Miss. Looks like the search continues for another big. Still waiting for Golden to show us the Euro connections he was suppose to have.

Find us that next Dirk Nowitzki.

Most players in Europe either play proball and would be ineligible or come here for high school so they can play college ball here. So I don't really see him pulling guys straight out of Europe.

I'm guessing he's a White guy.
Seriously though, who would want to play for White?
Plus, Fuch Dwags.

All signs point to us if his grades are in order

 

[maheo30]

According to a number of basketball reporters at On3, Lsu isn't even recruiting him. Other than for show, there is no reason they should be up there. And, they are all predicting UF.

 

[maheo30]

Hinting at Kugel?
