When Florida signed Cleveland State transfer Tyree Appleby, it not only added a dynamic pg who had led his prior team in scoring (17.2 ppg), assists (5.6 apg) and steals, but also padded its fan base.
“I haven’t been able to get any Gators gear yet, but I will,” said Raheem Appleby. “And I have to make my way to Gainesville to cheer on my guys.”
Guys?
One “guy” Raheem will be cheering on is the aforementioned, Tyree . . younger brother, childhood basketball buddy and his own favorite fan.
“Tyree was at Louisiana Tech so much with me because he and my dad barely missed a game,” Raheem recalled of his collegiate playing days.
