Gators are exploring a move that blurs the line between college and the NBA

As if college sports couldn't get even more out of control, college basketball programs have started to recruit NBA players straight from the league.

It's a fad that came to the spotlight with Baylor's controversial signing of James Nnaji earlier this week, a development in which the former (arguably current) New York Knicks center is slated to become the first former NBA draft pick to play NCAA basketball.

Now it appears the Gators have hopped on the trend, as On3's Joe Tipton is reporting that Chicago Bulls two-way forward Trentyn Flowers is receiving interest from the Gators, along with a boatload of other top programs.
