Viktor Mikic Adding Depth To Center Rotation

When Florida had an open scholarship late in the spring, the expectation was that they would likely use the spot on some kind of flyer with little chance of ever contributing at the SEC level. We’ve seen the Gators take multiple swings like that over the last decade, whether it be undersized, underrecruited guards, or raw junior college bigs that were underskilled but high motor. Those moves haven’t exactly worked out–but with the final spot on the roster not a lot can be expected. That was until this offseason, when the Gators landed Viktor Mikic, a legit talent with professional experience, and someone that could give the Gators a legitimate boost in the frontcourt.
