The Florida Gators women’s basketball team’s recruiting class has quickly settled in, rapidly developing a rapport with teammates and coaches alike.
“They’ve all made their even unique impressions so far, and all of those have been positives,” head coach Amanda Butler said. “I think their teammates have accepted them with open arms and really appreciate the coachable, teachable spirit and eagerness that they all possess.”
Leaving that type of mark within months of joining a college basketball program is no small feat, regardless of talent.
But their skill eased the process.
Each familiar with the guard position, Florida’s five newest faces — freshmen Delicia Washington, Elif Portakal, Sydney Searcy and Sydney Morang, and junior transfer Funda Nakkasoglu — have drawn glowing praise from Butler.
