With Florida basketball starting this week I thought I’d make a thread of some of my best preview work over the last few months in case you need a primer on the season.

Lots of stuff I hope you enjoy here on a whole lot of topics relating to Gators basketball

Florida has a couple of transfers suiting up this year in Tyree Appleby and Anthony Duruji. I did my best to try to quantify what numbers can be expected from them:

They also have a Michigan transfer they landed this offseason in Colin Castleton. Here is everything you need to know about his game:

Mike White has said the Gators will play fast this year, but will they really? I wrote about what goes into playing fast and how realistic a big tempo leap is from the Gators.

The first of a couple of articles related to Mike White saying the Gators would be a pressing team this year. First of all—is pressing a viable option at the high major level? A study on that here:

If Florida does press, what could that look like? I took a look back at Mike White’s Louisiana Tech teams to see the press they ran and how it could work at Florida.
