Reynolds is intriguing, he's a really big dude who gave us problems this year. He scored 23 points in 44 minutes over 2 games and bullied us down on the block. Definitely a Big12 body who would be an upgrade over Ezikpe. He fouls a lot (5 per 40 minutes) and turns it over a lot, but those are typical areas of improvement.
Hugley seems like a similar player based on his lone full season stats. Great rebounder who gets to the free throw line but turns it over a little too much.
Pride is a good all around wing. He can shoot the three, get to the rim, rebound, take care of the ball, and get steals without fouling. He had 23 pts, 6 reb, 3 steals against us this year. Pride would be a nice option to have in front of Skillings next year.
Reeves really struggled in his first two years at Florida. He's been a poor shooter and rebounder with just ok defense per EvanMiya. Might have potential as a 4 star recruit.
Austin is another balanced player like Pride who isn't quite as good of a shooter but blocks a lot of shots for a 6'4 guy. He was the best player on a really bad team.
