When it comes to improvements head coach Todd Golden and his staff will be looking to make in their second year at Florida, one category sticks out.
Defensive rebounding.
Golden has always seen the immense value in controlling the glass and it’s something that was a huge part of the reason his NCAA Tournament team at San Francisco was so successful. Though not for a lack of trying, the Gators struggled all season long controlling missed shots, and they finished the season 285th in the country in defensive rebounding rate.
Being undersized in the SEC certainly didn’t help, and their chances of even being somewhat competitive on the glass went out the window when Colin Castleton went down to injury.
