Mike White and his Florida Gators staff are focusing on the future of the basketball program on the recruiting circuit, targeting big prospects in the 2022 and 2023 classes. But the Gators are a program to watch for one 2024 prospect as well.
Point guard Jahseem Felton is a prospect in the 2024 class that is receiving a lot of attention in his recruitment. The South Carolina native is the cousin of former North Carolina and national champion point guard Raymond Felton.
But Jahseem is making a path of his own in high school and has received some interest from programs like Florida, Georgetown, Ole Miss, Kansas, South Alabama and Wake Forest, all programs that have offered the talented recruit.

Felton talked to Rivals’ recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw about the teams that have offered him, dishing on the Gators in the process:
Florida: “An SEC school, great offer. A lot of great players come from there. A lot of people from my AAU team (BMaze Elite) went there, so I know some people there.”
The Gators appear to be in good standing for this talented recruit but we should note that there is a long way to go in this recruitment. Felton is a 2024 recruit and while he’s gaining a lot of interest so far, that’s likely to increase over time.
