I asked @blake_cyr about his turnaround, and what’s really helped him take off the second half of this season. You have to listen to the incredible answer he gave:
Florida junior Thomas Haugh -- a projected potential lottery pick -- will return to the Gators next season, he tells me, @JeremyWoo and @jeffborzello. With the 2027 Player of the Year candidate back in the fold, Florida becomes the favorite to open next season at No. 1.
NEWS: Five-star OT Maxwell Hiller, No. 7 in the SC Next 300, has committed to Florida, he tells @ESPN.
Hiller is ESPN’s No. 2 OT in the 2027 class and picks the Gators over Alabama, Ohio State and Tennessee. He’s the highest-ranked commit of the Jon Sumrall era in Gainesville.
Xaivian Lee went from getting sat during the final six minutes against Duke to waiving off Thomas Haugh and hitting shots like these (not to mention getting the steal on the other end).
It's tremendous to see his confidence grow in his shot and overall. He's shooting 40% (16/40) from 3 across the last month of play.
Lots of unhappy Kentucky people/fans on X. Not used to losing 3 games in a year to the Gators. And not leading at any point in those games.
Go Gators! 🐊🐊🐊 @GatorsMBK
