For the second time in his career at Florida (and arguably the first–Justin Leon was committed to him at Louisiana Tech) Mike White dipped into the junior college level of basketball for the commitment of 6’8” forward Osayi Osifo. Committing to the Gators before his sophomore season at Eastern Florida State College, Osifo was known for explosion when he leaps and a constant motor that keeps him chugging away tirelessly on both ends of the floor.
Some saw this take as a diamond in the rough find by White, a player who didn’t start playing organized basketball until his mid-teens who is quickly improving with every season.
