Eric Fawcett (Gator Country) and Neil W. Blackmon (Saturday Down South) discuss Florida's new staff addition, John Andrzejek, who joins Florida from Kyle Smith's staff at Washington State. Why Coach Andrzejek is a great fit in Gainesville, and how it will benefit Florida's offense especially in 2023-24. Taurean Green's internal promotion is also discussed. 
Then, at minute 17, the guys begin a deep dive into some team and individual analytics. What key statistics say about the 2023-24 Gators and key roster battles. Among the discussion points are the backcourt time share and production between Zyon Pullin and Walter Clayton, the frontcourt battle between Micah Handlogten and Tyrese Samuel, and why Edge Jarvis will be a huge contributor, even if he's somewhat forgotten in "talking season."
