Eric Fawcett (Gator Country) and Neil W. Blackmon break down Florida's final addition to the 2022-23 roster, German big man Aleks Szymczyk. Why Szymczk's skill is so intriguing, and why the scholarship makes sense. Plus, Riley Kugel arrives on campus, and Thomas Haugh becomes Florida's first commitment for the 2023 class. Why Kugel is underrated, and why Haugh will fit in well at Florida. 

Plus, a dive into some of Florida's other 2023 recruiting targets, and what makes each intriguing. 

The guys also breakdown the PK 85 bracket, Florida's non-conference schedule, and Todd Golden's promotion of the Florida brand, which stands in stark contrast to the secrecy surrounding the program under the prior regime. Why stories like the CBS Sports and Athletic profiles are good for the program, and why the "Florida Brand" is one that sells and compels in college basketball.
