The Florida Gators have made the decision to restore the stats of basketball great Vernon Maxwell, and in the process officially make him the all-time leading scorer in Florida history, as well as the third highest scorer in SEC history.
Despite helping put Gator Basketball on the map in the first place, Maxwell's tale is one that tends to get glossed over in Gator lore among casual fans, but the decision by Scott Stricklin to restore his stats brings his tale back into a new light.

Maxwell was with the Gators from 1985 to 1989 and scored 2,450 points during his career in Gainesville.
