The Gators men’s basketball team already had a top-10 class to look forward to this fall. On Friday, it made yet another huge addition.
UF announced that Kerry Blackshear Jr., a 6-foot-10 power forward from Orlando, had transferred to Florida from Virginia Tech. The Gators have had great success with Hokies in the past, as the team’s highest scoring graduate transfers in Jalen Hudson and Dorian Finney-Smith both started their collegiate careers at VT. Blackshear Jr. is a graduate transfer himself, and he’ll be able to play for the Gators immediately.
Blackshear Jr.’s arrival should make an immediate impact on the roster.
