At media day a couple weeks back, Mike White said seniors Jalen Hudson and Kevarrius Hayes would be the natural leaders of this 2018-19 Florida Gators basketball team, but he needed a few more to emerge.
Florida now has two weeks of practice under its belt, and he is starting to see that happen. The Gators are still struggling with some fatigue and lack of toughness at times, but White likes the character this group of guys has shown so far.
Even a few players who aren’t obvious candidates to be leaders have made strides in that area.
