While the football team is having problems closing recruits, that is not a problem for Gators men’s basketball coach Billy Donovan.
Earlier this week Florida announced that its 2012 recruiting class with three new guards inking national letters of intent as oint guard Braxton Ogbueze, shooting guard Michael Frazier and shooting guard Dillon Graham all became Gators.
“I’m excited about the guys that we’ve signed,” coach Billy Donovan said. “We feel like we’ve addressed some needs. Obviously there’s a lot of kids that we’re still recruiting that haven’t signed yet that we’re still involved with. But I’m happy with the guys that have signed and I feel like they’re all going to be very, very good players for us.”
Ogbueze is the highest-rated recruit of the three, a consensus Top 100 player who can play either the point guard or shooting guard positions.
Frazier is also a consensus Top 100 recruit. The Plant High star from Tampa averaged 29.7 points and 9.7 points per game last season.
Graham is not as highly rated as the other two guard signees in the 2012 class, but he boasts good size at 6-4, 175.
With the three guards on board already for the 2012 signing class, the Gators will likely focus their remaining efforts on signing a quality big man.
