Billy Donovan landed two high-profile big man transfers this offseason to help offset a lack of big men in the 2012 recruiting class. / Gator Country file photo by Tim Casey

For a long period of time it seemed that Florida coach Billy Donovan simply couldn’t land a big man in the 2012 recruiting class. Months went by without good frontcourt news on the recruiting trail.

The high-profile names flew by at a dizzying rate, with each commitment bringing another disappointing let-down for the fans.

Mitch McGary. Robert Carter. Kyle Alexander. Brice Johnson. T.J. Warren. Jarnell Stokes. Alex Poythress. Anthony Bennett.

Turns out Donovan had a pretty good plan all along.
