The college basketball season doesn’t tip off until early November, but that won’t stop the national media from making those wildly bold predictions merely based off what a team looks like on paper.
This year, the Gators have found themselves on the right side of those predictions, thanks to a complete roster overhaul this offseason that features nine new faces on the 14-man squad.
It’s very easy to buy in to the hype when it comes to this Florida team.
The seventh-best recruiting class (according to 247sports), a trio of sophomores that contributed greatly during their freshman seasons in Gainesville and the addition of the top transfer on the market has completely changed the perception of what the Gators can accomplish in 2019-20.
