On a team that will be arguably the deepest that Mike White had in Gainesville there is still one player that is likely to lead the way both offensively and defensively–senior Colin Castleton.
Castleton was Florida’s biggest story of the 2020-21 season, going from a player who was hardly utilized for two seasons at Michigan to one of the best big men in the SEC. For most of the summer leading into the season one of the major conversations around Florida basketball was who would start at center–sophomore Omar Payne, or incoming transfer Colin Castleton. It seemed like, at least in the eyes of most fans, that Payne was leading the way, but Castleton was announced as the day one starter.
