Florida adding two elite perimeter players to their roster via the 2019 recruiting class in Scottie Lewis and Tre Mann fills the holes left by the graduation of KeVaughn Allen and Jalen Hudson but how are the Gators going to replace the play of Kevarrius Hayes? Providing 25 minutes per game and anchoring the defense that was the calling card of the Gators last season the departure of Hayes leaves a gaping hole that currently doesn’t have a clearly defined replacement.
What makes the problem of replacing Hayes’ minutes at the center position so interesting is that the question of who will replace him isn’t due to a lack of bodies.
