GAINESVILLE — UF coach Mike White has hired Erik Pastrana away from Oklahoma State to fill one of the two openings on the Gators’ staff.
Pastrana is a Miami native and Cuban-American, and he helped the Cowboys sign Cade Cunningham, the nation’s top recruit in 2020, a 2020-21 All-America and the projected No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
“He has a proven track record, coaching and recruiting at a high level everywhere he’s been and will be a great fit with our team and our staff,” White said in a statement.
White lost longtime assistants Jordan Mincy and Darris Nichols to head coaching spots.
