Florida’s Golden speaks on CJ Felder
“CJ Felder is going to take a little time away from the team for personal reasons,” Golden said. “Definitely nothing disciplinary. He’s still a part of our family and we love him. He’s going through a little bit of a time right now, and we’re leaving the door open for him to join the team again this season whenever he feels ready.”
