2024-25 Basketball,,, all things considered...
- Thread starter instaGATOR
- Start date
Seven months removed from verbally committing to the Florida men's basketball program, in-state guard Alex Lloyd put pen to paper Thursday and signed with the Gators, UF announced.
The 6-foot-3 4-star combo guard is considered to be a potent scorer at all three levels with an impressive ability to facilitate – aspects that led Lloyd to be a desirable addition by Florida head coach Todd Golden and UF's coaching staff.

Gators' Late Run Seals Rivalry Road Win - Florida Gators
Florida picked up its fourth straight win in the series with Florida State by posting a +18 rebounding advantage.

Florida has a better team than FSU. Todd Golden has built a much more physical team compared to the one he inherited. They dominated the boards tonight, but turnovers kept the game relatively close. Plus, they often take bad 3's early in the possession clock instead of working the ball around. Too much dribbling sometimes, especially from Clayton & Aberdeen. Condon is a great garbage man - just does all the little things and is relentless. Liked the effort, but at times the execution was off. But first raod game and to get a win, especially in Tallahassee, was very nice.

Played sloppy but this team has the talent to make a tournament run.

259. FSU 73.0 PPG
Actual game score: UF 87 - 74 FSU (-13)
Currently with a 4 game win streak over the criminoles.
Gators badly need more passing drills in practice. A bunch of sloppy, slow, ill-considered, telegraphed pass attempts.
Had me pullin' my hair out at times.....

Golden Shower is 3-0 against the Nolies. Between fsu and the butt sniffers Golden is 8-0. Not too shabby.

Golden is an analytics nut. He knows the team’s weaknesses and you can see the improvement.
With only 8 in the real rotation, Todd needs to get more into the games imo.
If not, that will likely hurt them across this season, and for those that remain for next season...

We should be playing at least 9 but 10 is doable.
I am disappointed the big guy decided to redshirt. I would like to see what a 7-9 guy looks like on the court.
Gators Sign Caterina Piatti to Class of 2025 - Florida Gators
Italian post player, Caterina Piatti has been unveiled as part of Kelly Rae Finley's 2025 recruiting class.

Not sure if you watched him in warm ups, but when I did prior to USF game, he moved ok, but not great. With great size comes great clumsiness. He has a lot of work to do before seeing the floor.
He was signed as project and that's what he is. If Golden and staff can develop him and he can work to get stronger with coordination, he could be a special player. But who knows what will happen?
