Gators land St. Bonaventure transfer PG Kyle Lofton

Sounds like Josh Mballa is in play for the Gators. Rebounding machine. Averaged over 10 a game two years ago and 9 this year. Would help us battle Kentucky a lot.

 

Is he a “Balla”?

 

Heard he is not a good sharer. Always yelling Mballa or to give Mballa

 

We should sign Mballa and his teammate, Ipass Tuyu.

 

I don’t know what to make of this kid and his game. Prep teammate of Lofton’s, IIRC. Terrific rebounder, but not that big or skilled. Reminds me a little of Yeguete.

 

Yeguete was a huge part of winning a lot of games! Teams need those type of players.

 

Agreed, but Yeguete was around for four years, not one, and he fit well as a glue guy on a team with lots of offensive skill around him. Not entirely convinced this take is best in the long run, though he would definitely bring some immediate value defensively next year, especially if Felder doesn’t get right.

 

Mballa announced for Ole Miss this afternoon.

 

Thanks. The reality is that we have a solid roster right now. Adding 2 more players which seems likely at this point is basically buying insurance in case something happens to CC or if JJ is not healthy or doesn’t improve. You can’t play 13 guys.

 

Well that is a bummer.

 

I think this was overlooked by the fan base-very valid points.

Never seen a Coach, who lost so many players to injuries-and not just for a game or two, Or a month. White lost more than one for an entire season, sometimes more.

KJ
Egbunu
Chase Johnson-(looked like an outstanding young player)
Gak

All these guys missed entire seasons.

 

Also Jitoboe, although Egbunu will be back in late January

 

I’ve been working with him on dribbling faster!

 

You are the guy to do it Murph

 

Sounds like they should have one of the most prolific offensive teams next year. 97 points per game is crazy!

 

Georgia will be scary good. I'm talking, like, UCLA 5-straight NCAA titles good. UF should just quit right now.

 

Something tells me that those guys played more than 200 minutes when you add them all up.

 

Killjoy!

 

True, but this is the year a White coached team will score in bunches. White will finally go uptempo like he always wanted to do at UF. Really. He means it this time.
