The Florida Gators recently secured a national championship title in San Antonio, overcoming a 12-point deficit against Houston to win 65-63. However, they are expected to lose several key players, prominently Walter Clayton Jr., the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player, who returned home after his career at Iona.

In light of this, Todd Golden’s team will be in the market for a replacement through the college basketball transfer portal. Many top point guards have already entered the portal, and Golden must act quickly to secure another high-scoring transfer, given Clayton’s critical role this season.

Along with Clayton, Alijah Martin and Will Richard will not return, exhausting their eligibility, with Martin possessing prior Final Four experience at Florida Atlantic. Denzel Aberdeen, already part of the team, is expected to step up to fill this gap.

Golden has already signed two top-50 high school players: Alex Lloyd and CJ Ingram. Both guards will be vital in reinforcing the backcourt. Concurrently, they are closely monitoring potential transfer options such as Xaivian Lee from Princeton and Malachi Smith from Dayton.

Florida basketball anticipates promising prospects returning in the frontcourt as well, ensuring the program remains competitive.
