As much as I would love to have Lucas here, I don't think we have a spot for him. From reading the article, it seems he wants to play PG and wants major playing time and most likely to start. I think Dee Bost has the starting PG spot on lock for at least the next 3 years barring some crazy **** like we've experienced the last couple years (i.e. Sharpe, the Delk sisters, Ben...). An interesting note at the bottom of that article though
Lucas is the eighth Florida player to transfer since the 2003-04 season, a list that includes Mario Boggan, Ryan Appleby, Rashid Al-Kaleem, Mohamed Abukar,
Jimmie Sutton,
David Huertas and
Jonathan Mitchell.
I don't know how our numbers stack up to that (I'm too lazy to look it up), but it is nice to know that we aren't the only program that has had the problem of guys leaving every year. I'm not saying that it is not a disturbing trend in our basketball program though; just that it is nice to see someone else suffering from it too. Misery loves company.
