Toughness Is The Focus For Gators’ Big Men

If you could look back at last year’s roster and see one hole, it was in the frontcourt. Mostly due to injury Gator big men on the whole didn’t produce they way they, and the coaching staff, hoped for and it often lead to them playing undersized and without the ability to go inside offensively at all. The Gators were 268th in the country in scoring around the hoop which, though not entirely, says a lot about the production of the frontcourt offensively. They didn’t do much better on the glass, as often playing 6’5” Egor Koulechov at power forward made them a poor defensive rebounding team, 256th to be exact.
