Florida basketball under Todd Golden: Insiders say transfer portal news, 2025 recruits, roster, best targets

The Florida Gators won 12 straight games to end the season, winning the SEC Tournament title and national championship in San Antonio. They are losing star guards Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard, who are all out of eligibility. All three members of the starting backcourt came to Florida via the college basketball transfer portal, so head coach Todd Golden will be trying to add elite replacements from the portal for the 2025-26 Florida basketball roster. Other players in the Florida basketball lineup have decisions to make regarding their future, making this a pivotal time for Golden and the Florida basketball coaching staff.

Florida basketball roster news

Clayton Jr., Martin and Richard are among the players who are gone, while sophomore forward Alex Condon is entering the 2025 NBA Draft while maintaining his NCAA eligibility. Condon averaged 10.6 points and 7.5 rebounds this season, and he has until May 28 to decide whether to withdraw his name from the draft. The Gators are still in line to have an elite frontcourt regardless of Condon's decision, as Thomas Haugh, Rueben Chinyelu and Micah Handlogten are all expected to return.

Returning guard Denzel Aberdeen will take on a much larger role this season after averaging 7.7 points as a reserve. Point guard Kajus Kublickas, who played sparingly in two seasons with the Gators, entered the portal. Finding a new point guard is the biggest need for Golden's staff, and Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee included Florida in his final three (Kansas, St. John's).
