When Florida landed Belmont transfer Will Richard before the 2022-23 season the coaching staff believed he was someone who could come in and contribute right away, but also someone who had huge long-term upside and could one day be a first team SEC contributor. In his first season with the Gators, things went according to plan. Richard slid into a starting role and became one of Florida’s most consistent players averaging 10.4 points and 4.5 rebounds. The next step was to see if he could make the kind of leap that Florida expected, going from solid starter to one of the best wings in the conference.
