They should be gone. Theoretically we could have all the key guys back -- Noah, Horford, etc. But let's face facts. They have nothing left to prove and now they are risking serious dollars by sticking around. The only nonstarters seeing significant time for UF are Richards and Speights. Speights will be back, but he's basically Bradshaw with a quicker first step. Hardly the sort of guy that leads UF to a S16.

Assuming Noah, Horford, Brewer, and Green declare-- Florida will be a very young team next season, but will still be very talented. With Chandler Parsons, Adam Allen, Nick Calathes, and Alex Tyus coming in this recruiting class-- the Gators will still be in the hunt for the SEC East title.

They will have an extremely difficult time beating us in either game we play agianst them next year. Heck they had a tough time beating us with the players they have now.

there are only 2 rounds in the nba draft unless i am mistaken. i don't think ramar smith will leave next year, but if he continues to progress and develops more of a perimeter game, anything is possible. i can't see him sticking it out for 4 years though.

I think it's possible for any 3 of them to leave after there junior year. The only one that has a chance to leave next year would be Ramar.

i agree with law on this one, i believe we have a couple players that could mold into nba prospects after 4 years but i dont believe we have any current players that are able to leave college early for the NBA and be effective... all of our current players will stay four years

No kidding. I figured he would have been somewhere in Europe by now.

No. Lofton declared today that he will be declining his final year of eligibility to take a shot in the NBA. Some analysts have predicted he will be the fourth or fifth pick of the first round.
