No, wasn’t real happy about him transferring. TheUF hoops program is a bit of a dumpster fire right now. We need a new coach. 3 players transferring this year again so far. Good luck to the Zags.
Was concerned about that and Nana hoops becoming more established with the new coach. He way out coached Mike White this year.
