Florida head coach Todd Golden is in the process of rebuilding the Gators’ roster and appears to be building from the inside out.
The Gators have already reeled in 7’1 center Micah Handlogten and 6’8 forward EJ Jarvis. Sunday night, 6’10 big man, Tyrese Samuel announced his commitment to Florida via social media.
