Todd Golden and his Florida basketball program got some good news last week when College Basketball Report released the names of the top-eight schools that made the top-eight list for former North Texas Mean Green guard [autotag]Tylor Perry[/autotag], who is currently in search of greener pastures through the transfer portal.
Along with the Orange and Blue, the Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Ole Miss Rebels, Baylor Bears, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Louisville Cardinals and Texas Tech Red Raiders also made the latest cut. Perry was in Gainesville a week ago to get a gander at the Gators’ digs over the course of a few days, following that up with a trip to visit Eric Musselman and the Hogs afterward.
The junior from Fort Coffee, Oklahoma, served primarily as a point guard with the Mean Green, averaging 15.6 points on 43.1% from the field and 41.3% from beyond the arc while grabbing 3.2 rebounds, dishing out 2.3 dimes and snatching 1.3 steals per game over his two-year tenure in North Texas. He played two seasons at Coffeeville CC prior to his time in Denton, where he led his squad to the 2021 NJCAA DI National Championship in 2020-21.
The Gators have added four players through the transfer portal — forward Tyrese Samuel, point guard Walter Clayton Jr., forward EJ Jarvis and center Micah Handlogten — along with two members from the 2023 high school recruiting class in forwards Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh.
