    For the sake of simplicity, I will be spelling this kid’s name as follows: Cliff Richards.

    Hope he turns out to be the next Dirk Nowitski, but I’m not ready to order Final 4 tickets

    19 yr old 6'11 PF from Germany. I'm excited to see early returns on coach's Euro connections. This guy is a bit young, though. Maybe more of a project / depth move? Leaves more room for the kid from LSU to get minutes. At any rate, it's great to see the roster filled out. Can't wait to see the new edition of Gator hoops.

    Those highlights show a guy that can score in a myriad of ways, but obviously that competition is likely not near D1 level. A 6’11 guy that can score? Yes please.

    Played one game for six minutes last year. Realize he is young and this was a pro league, but clearly a signing based on potential. Can’t see him playing much next year.

    That actually was 2 seasons ago. He was a starter in the immediate past season, but it was in a low-level league.

    6"-11", 240 pounds, and is the third or perhaps fourth big on this year's team.


    Is that allowed?

    Has room for improvement as most young big men but has a good set of skills already in place. Don’t be surprised to see his role get larger as the season goes along. Intensity on defense and footwork will be a focus for development. He’s a fast learner with a great attitude and work ethic. Gator fans should be very pleased with this addition.

    Fake news. The real Coach Sayre is still in witness protection somewhere.
