Last Saturday, shortly before 11 am, one of the top post prospects in the 2024 class committed to Florida. Under any other circumstances, this wouldn’t register much as news on this site, but the prospect was 7’3” John Bol, a top-30 recruit and one of coach Dennis Gates' top targets in the class.
Bol found himself in St. Louis after immigrating from South Sudan, playing at CBC before transferring to Sunrise Christian Academy. Bol was targeted by Gates and his staff early, and each time Bol was asked about his relationship with the staff, he glowed.
