Article: Transfer Portal Target: USC’s Desmond Claude

I would actually prefer him at the one, if we didn’t have Lee. But I am skeptical that those two can play together since both excel on the ball, neither is a catch and shoot player, and neither defends at a high level.

 

Gotta trust the staff but the shooting doesn't seem like what we need.

 

Doesn’t shoot many though. Pullin was able to improve his 3 point shooting 5 percentage points under Golden. If Claude did that he’d be at 35% and while not insanely good, certainly fine.

 

"Claude is taking a visit to Florida this week, beginning on Thursday," Travis Branham said, via the "College Basketball Show" on Tuesday. "Florida is frankly the team to beat. When Denzel Aberdeen hit the portal, things really opened up for Florida. Todd Golden is in big need of an impact guard, and Desmond Calude absolutely fits that bill. There sounds to be some heavy mutual interest in this pairing. Heading into the weekend, Florida is absolutely a team to watch. There have also been discussions of teams like Ole Miss, North Carolina, Kansas, BYU and some others who have expressed some interest in him. However, they're all taking a back seat to the Gators."
