Florida junior Thomas Haugh — a projected potential lottery pick — will return to the Gators next season, he tells me, @JeremyWoo and @jeffborzello. With the 2027 Player of the Year candidate back in the fold, Florida becomes the favorite to open next season at No. 1. pic.twitter.com/mfxOlFm3Wm

DPOY Rueben Chinyelu is going through the pre-draft process but the expectation is he will also run it back alongside Thomas Haugh, Alex Condon, Boogie Fland, Urban Klavžar and boomerang transfer Denzel Aberdeen. Chomp, chomp. https://t.co/MLJTxqA9KV

HUGE NEWS: Florida’s Thomas Haugh will return to Gaineville next season, he announced.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) April 21, 2026
Haugh is a likely first-rounder and possibly even a lottery pick, but loves Florida and also will obviously be compensated extremely well this season in college.
This year’s drafted also…
