The Florida Gators men’s basketball program added an excellent new piece to the roster Todd Golden is assembling for the 2022-23 season on Saturday with the commitment of Belmont transfer Will Richard.
It turns out that was just a prelude to Florida’s biggest possible addition to its roster — Colin Castleton, the fulcrum of its last one, who announced on Monday that he will return for a fifth collegiate season in Gainesville.
Castleton was a fourth-year senior in the 2021-22 season, and participated in Senior Day festivities with the Gators, with some expectation that he would leave for the professional ranks after the year.
