After solidifying their frontcourt with the first two transfer portal additions the Gators bolstered their perimeter on Sunday as FAU guard Alijah Martin announced his commitment to the Gators. While Sam Alexis and Rueben Chinyelu had a number of great programs to commit to they weren’t recruited at the same level as Martin who chose the Gators over Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss, making this Florida’s biggest splash so far of the offseason.
While many mid-major studs really make their name known once they hit the transfer portal and start getting recruited by blue blood program, Martin is a rare mid-major player that was known by fans across the country.
