Riley Kugel - Ramping up scoring Kugel produced 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 84-65 loss to Arkansas.
Impact Kugel has suddenly emerged as a go-to scorer for the Gators, averaging 15.5 ppg over his last four contests. Florida's season may be essentially lost after losing four of its last five, but giving the freshman an extended look could prove beneficial for the program's future.
FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aleks Szymczyk - Solid performance despite loss Szymczyk finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 84-65 loss to Arkansas.
Impact The freshman was given a fantastic opportunity in Saturday's loss, logging a season-high 20 minutes played which led to a season-high eight points and six rebounds. With star center Colin Castleton out with a hand injury, expect Szymczyk to see a much larger role for the remainder of the season.

Trey Bonham - Non-factor in return Bonham (undisclosed) ended Saturday's 84-65 loss to Arkansas with one assist and one steal across two minutes.
Impact Bonham didn't appear in Wednesday's victory over Ole Miss, but it's likely due to his playing time becoming less secure. The writing was on the wall for the junior guard, as Bonham had averaged just 8.5 mpg across eight games since losing his starting spot in mid-January. Not, it appears fair to question whether or not he'll see the court on any given game, though until further notice, the reason doesn't appear to be health-related.
FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Jitoboh - Plays 24 minutes Jitoboh finished with four points (2-5 FG) and two rebounds across 24 minutes during Saturday's 84-65 loss to Arkansas.
Impact Jitoboh's latest log includes his best minute tally of 2023 so far. The center is expected to play more, especially now that it has been confirmed Colin Castleton (hand) will sit out what is left of Florida's 2022-23 regular season.
FEBRUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
CJ Felder - Sees court briefly Felder (personal) totaled no counting stats in two minutes during Saturday's 84-65 loss to Arkansas.
Impact Felder hasn't seen action since Jan. 7 due to a personal matter, and while he's technically available, it doesn't appear he'll be a significant rotation factor despite starting the first eight games of the season for the Gators. The senior wing will continue to serve a depth role for a Florida team unlikely to see meaningful action in March.

Jason Jitoboh - Officially starting Jitoboh will start at center in Saturday's game against Arkansas, Chris Harry of FloridaGators.com reports.
Impact With Colin Castleton (hand) likely done for the year, Jitoboh was the likely candidate to replace him in the starting lineup. While he should see some increased playing time as a result of this move, Alex Fudge and Aleks Szymczyk are also expected to get more work as well.

Impact Jitoboh tied a season high with 17 minutes during Wednesday's win over Mississippi, and he had four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal. Jitoboh is unlikely to be a major contributor despite the expected increase in playing time, as Golden plans to utilize a committee approach with Alex Fudge and Aleks Szymczyk also in the mix.
