Article: Transfer Portal Target: USC’s Desmond Claude

If Claude got there on Thursday and we still have not heard anything, doesn’t look good but…..

 

Why? We’ve heard lots of rumblings about a commit. Hasn’t gone public yet, but they usually don’t on a weekend. Also hasn’t scheduled any other visits yet.

 

What are the Florida Gators’ chances with high-scoring USC Trojans transfer guard Desmond Claude, who officially visited UF this week? On3 national basketball reporter Joe Tipton provided some insight into Claude’s recruitment Friday and it’s definitely a positive update for Florida.

He wrote the following:

“Claude arrived in Gainesville for a visit Wednesday night but began his tour and experience on campus Thursday. He wrapped up his visit Friday morning. It sounds like Florida is in the driver’s seat and the clear team to beat. To my knowledge, no other visits have been scheduled but only time will tell if another schools makes a strong push for Claude. As we all know, portal recruiting is very fluid.”

 

We are currently at 12 players on the roster. We currently have 3 slots. Condon may go pro. 15 player roster limit.
