Alex Lloyd - Running it back with Gators Lloyd has re-signed with Florida ahead of the 2026-27 season, per Zach Abolverdi of On3.com.

Impact Lloyd had a quiet freshman year in Gainesville, appearing in 17 games averaging 1.2 points across 4.6 minutes. Still, he's clearly part of Florida's plans for the future, and he should look to see his role increase next season.

Impact Brown and his brother Isaiah are the latest two players who have decided to return to the Gators for the 2026-27 campaign, the same as Boogie Fland and Urban Klavzar. The junior guard didn't make a single appearance for the Gators in 2025-26 but will aim to have a bigger role in the rotation in 2026-27.

March Madness Meets the iPad era: How Coaches' Challenges are Changing the Game

Urban Klavzar - Announces return to Gainesville Klavzar will return to Florida for the 2026-27 season, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Klavzar, the SEC Sixth Man of the year, averaged 9.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists for the Gators in his junior season, also hitting 41 percent of his threes on 5.0 attempts per game. The sharpshooter will now officially run it back in Gainesville, and with Boogie Fland also announcing his return to the Gators Thursday, Florida has secured two core pieces for its 2026-27 squad.

Boogie Fland - Returning for junior season Fland will return to Florida for his junior season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Compared to his freshman season at Arkansas, Fland's production fell off a bit at Florida because they had better talent. The 6-3 sophomore averaged 11.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 steals. With Xaivian Lee using up his eligibility, Fland should control the ball more and see his assists rise. It will be interesting to see how coach Todd Golden fills out the roster around Fland and potentially seniors-to-be Thomas Haugh, Alex Condon and Rueben Chinyelu.

Xaivian Lee - Puts up 17 in loss Lee closed Sunday's 73-72 loss to Iowa with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact Lee controlled the ball in the last 4.5 seconds with the Gators down one, but tried to slip a pass into Thomas Haugh that got gobbled up in traffic as time expired. Despite some major slumps during the season, the Princeton transfer was key to the Gators' 11-game winning streak to close the regular season.

Thomas Haugh - Scores aggressive 19 points Haugh posted 19 points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 73-72 loss to Iowa.

Impact Haugh consistently pressed the action and relentlessly attacked the basket. He made his most free throws since the opening loss against Arizona. The 6-9 junior is on NBA radar and is mentioned as a first round pick in most mock drafts. However, after the unfortunate ending to the season, he may opt to return to Gainesville.
