Already this week, Florida’s Keith Stone and Michael Okauru have entered their names in the NCAA transfer portal.
On Wednesday, that number increased to three players this week, as a sophomore guard became the latest to explore his transfer options.
Per a report from Thomas Goldkamp, G Deaundrae Ballard is now free to be contacted by other schools:

Ballard played in 29 games for the Gators this year and averaged 11.8 minutes per night. He scored 4.6 points and 1.6 rebounds per game.
Florida has a great recruiting class coming in next fall, with two 5-star players and a 4-star guy, per 247Sports. Is that why so many players are leaving? It could be, but it’s going to be a challenge for coach Mike White to build bench depth next season.
