Florida guard Riley Kugel, after entering transfer portal is now a Kansas Jayhawk

Why is that?

 

I think Riley would be a star on a bad team where he is the main threat to score and can play 30 minutes a game and dominate the ball. That is not the Gators, thankfully. Wish him luck, though. He seemed like a good teammate to the very end.

 

RK has a lot of talent but really didn't have a starting role to play on this year's Gator team. We were mostly a 3 guard team (Clayton, Pullin, Richard) and a four man rotation of bigs. Riley was sent in to spell guys or as a defensive stopper.

He did a great job doing that.

 

Good luck Riley. Hope you find a home outside of the SEC where you fit. If the stars align, the sky is the limit.

 

Well, at least now I won't have to worry about his Dad showing up on my doorstep.

 

He's still coming. Don't worry.

 

I ain't sayin nothing bad, I've seen his dad. Honestly, good luck.

 

Wish Riley the best and thanks for the two years of effort. He usually reminded me of a puppy out there, all bounce and energy, which is cool until something messy happens.

 

The bad thing about the portal is you worry a kid might develop here, but goes somewhere else. The good thing about the portal is maybe the kid would have never developed here.

Andrew Nembhard left UF and is an nba guy with a great college career. Pretty sure that doesn’t happen under Mike white. I hope Kugel finds such success.

 

not a surprise. Everyone's window is so short now, especially when you go from a projected NBA 1st rounder to the bench in college. Hope he finds his groove wherever he goes, and as someone else said - not on our schedule

 

I was irrationally happy to see him in the Colorado game. Kind of knew it was the last time and just was happy to see him one last time. Was hoping he’d go off and be the game winner.

 

Nembhard starts for the Pacers. It amazes me that White couldn’t figure out how to take advantage of his skill set.

 

Good luck, Riley and thank you for all your contributions!

 

Some team is going to get a heck of a transfer. I look forward to seeing what he does with the new opportunity.

 

We all knew this was coming. We amerrr blessed to have him for two years. This will be a challenging recruiting cycle for Golden. There are so many pieces to replace.

 

Good luck Riley, nothing but the best of luck to you. Thanks for your contributions, and thanks for being a Gator.

 

Wish nothing but the best. Great Gator who cheered on his teammates even as his time was reduced. It must have been difficult going from a key piece of the team as a freshman to an afterthought as a sophomore.
He had a really underrated game in against Colorado where he stuck to using his athleticism in transition rather than taking wild shots. Wish we had seen more of that.

 

Good luck, Riley!

 

Wish him success, was an exciting player to watch.
