The men’s college basketball season is quickly approaching with the first game on the Florida Gators’ schedule a little less than a week away. As the fans and media prepare for what will be a challenging season at best, an air of excitement builds as schools return to the parquet to tip off America’s favorite winter sport.

UF entered last season with high expectations but failed to meet them as the young team experienced a rollercoaster season that abruptly ended with the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the outlook is much more tempered, with Florida sitting outside of the AP Poll’s preseason top 25; however, a year older and wiser, plus some transfer reinforcements may help the Gators elevate to the next level.

One reason for optimism stems from the fact that Florida has some significant talent on its roster for the 2020-21 season. CBS Sports recently listed its top 101 men’s college basketball players which included two Gators that are expected to make a significant impact in the Southeastern Conference this season.
