Florida Gators Men’s Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker
Change is happening quickly for the Florida Gators men’s basketball — and it’s only the beginning.
With the transfer portal officially open, Florida has already seen notable movement across its roster, including key departures and important return decisions. More changes are expected in the coming days and weeks, as players across the country evaluate their futures and programs look to retool.
Follow along for the latest updates and decisions:
Report: Micah Handlogten Intends to Enter Transfer Portal
Florida senior Micah Handlogten intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal, per On3‘s Joe Tipton.
Handlogten, the 7-foot-1 center, spent the last three seasons in Gainesville after transferring from Marshall in 2023. He is seeking a waiver for a fifth-year of eligibility, just over two years removed from a season-ending leg injury sustained in the 2024 SEC Tournament.
Handlogten was expected to redshirt the 2024-25 season, but made his return last February, forgoing the possibility for an extra year on the back half of his career. He played a role in Florida’s third national title, notching 16 points and 25 boards in its postseason run. Now, he is in search of regaining the final season of eligibility.
Boogie is Back: A Pair of Florida Basketball Guards Return
Boogie wonderland.
Florida basketball’s starting point guard, Boogie Fland, announced this afternoon that he will be returning next season, alongside sixth-man Urban Klavzar. Fland took to Instagram, saying that he will, in fact, be “running it back.”
His message was simple. “I love being a Gator. I really do love being a Gator,” Fland told Florida Victorious, reaffirming his commitment to Florida.
Brown Brothers Are Back: Guards Return to Gators
The Brown brothers are officially returning to Gainesville to take the court during the 2026-27 season.
Sophomore Isaiah Brown and redshirt junior AJ Brown are a dynamic brother duo that have been playing together for as long as either can remember. The pair suited up in the same jersey at Orlando Christian Prep before they went their separate ways.
Florida’s Olivier Rioux to Hit Transfer Portal
The Rowdy Reptiles at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center won’t be chanting “We want Ollie!” next season. Florida basketball center Olivier Rioux announced his decision to enter the transfer portal after two seasons with the team, first reported by Jeff Goodman and later confirmed by Rioux on social media Tuesday.
