One of the negative storylines that has plagued the last few years of Florida basketball is the lack of depth in the frontcourt due to injury. John Egbunu, Gorjok Gak, Chase Johnson, Keith Stone, and Isaiah Stokes have all missed significant time in the last couple of seasons as players that should have factored into the rotation and their absences left the Gators undersized and thin at the power forward and center positions.
This hole was obviously filled this season mostly by Kerry Blackshear Jr., the best available graduate transfer on the market who, at 6’11” and 250 pounds, looked like a godsend for Mike White and the Gators.
