Tyrese Samuel came in as a proven Big East veteran, known as someone who could compete physically inside while having some ball handling chops on the perimeter. Micah Handlogten was a 7’1” rebounding machine. Alex Condon was someone who could both mix it up in the paint and sprint in transition, while Thomas Haugh had shooting ability and athleticism. All four players have proven the ability to contribute and Florida is now in the situation where they’ve got to find out how much to play each of these guys and which combinations will bring the best results.
