In today’s era of college basketball where player turnover is higher than ever it can be tough for teams, even at the high-major level, to return productive pieces. With most transfers only having one year of eligibility remaining, if you hit on a quality player in the portal–it’s not often you have that guy for multiple seasons.
However, that isn’t the case for Florida when it comes to returning wing Will Richard.
Richard came to the Gators as a rare player who jumped from the mid-major to high-major level after only one season, giving Florida a talent who was yet to reach his full potential but one who has already shown chops at the college level.
