2 of Florida's Big 3 are back, with Chinyelu almost guaranteed to return. I wonder if it'll be enough to make UF the preseason #1 going into 2026-2027.

Hopefully it will be enough to keep Golden in Hogtown.

He needs to go pro while he has ability. Does he not want a second contract?

Haugh said remaining a Gator > second contract

Keeping that entire front court together for 3 straight years is as impressive a feat as I’ve seen in the portal/NIL era. If the NCAA goes to a 5 to play 5 I’m sure they’ll somehow all be together in 27/28 too.

That list shows Aberdeen who has no eligibility left and almost a zero percent chance of getting a waiver having played too much and too late in his freshman season to qualify. Boogie Fland as the starting PG likely results in the same result, really good regular season then fall flat in the postseason. Who knows maybe Boogie will improve.

Single elimination tournaments are tough. But if your roster's floor is basically a regular season conference title and #1 seed, you're doing something right.

Tournament basketball is all about the guards. I like Fland but UF needs more punch from the SG position if they're going to challenge for a title imo. Who is the projected starter there?

Boogie was fine last year. He sucked shooting 3s but did pretty much everything else really well. Elite defender, rarely turned ball over, great mid range, solid at getting to the rim and a solid distributor.

I seriously doubt there's a 0% Aberdeen gains another year. Doubt Golden would tie up NIL money for something with astronomical odds. Players who have played more than Aberdeen have been granted an additional year.

Aberdeen will play the 2 primarily but he'll be on the team next year.

TG and UF aren't utilizing time and resources on a player if they don't think they have a better than decent shot of having them play next year. If there was no shot, it wouldn't even be a conversation. They're going all in to win a national title next year.

Doubt it. He wants the Golden State job.

Do you really think Haugh would come back, if Golden were leaving for Golden State? I mean you don't think they had that conversation? Troll on , dipshit.

I totally agree. You MUST have elite guard play to win in March. UF guards were good but not elite. Have to find at least one guard that can take over games.
