It’s been a busy offseason so far for the Gators. Between the NBA draft and the transfer portal, they’ve lost six players from the 2020-21 roster (which could become seven if Colin Castleton doesn’t return from testing the draft waters). With only one commit in the 2021 recruiting class, UF literally had no other choice than to be active on the transfer portal.
And active it has been, adding four of the top transfer prospects in the country. All college basketball players had the opportunity to exercise a one-time transfer without sitting out a year as a result of COVID-19, and this made the transfer portal much more active than usual.
All four of the players the Gators have landed rank in the top 100 of ESPN’s transfer rankings, as do two of the guys they’re losing. Here’s where they each stack up.
