Former men's basketball player Colin Castleton submits name for NBA draft

The current Florida Gator notes his desire to get feedback in hopes of getting drafted.  Missed out on a fun year with our team.  Best of luck though.  Go Blue!

He was one of the starring players on a solid Florida squad this year and really defined himself as a solid center this year. Definitely wasn't this ready physically at Michigan, but he finally seems to have gained the bulk needed to be a full time guy.

Feels like a transfer where everyone won in the end: Michigan obviously has had great production between Dickinson and Davis, so we haven't missed Castleton too much and he's improved his profile immensely now that he's had a starting role all to himself. Still wishing him the best of luck moving forward.

Good for him. Last game I was able to see in person was 2019 season and he was a personal bench favorite just because of how lanky he was. I wish him nothing but the best.

It sounds like becoming a Gator was a good move for him.  He never said anything disparaging about Michigan and gave us his all for us while here.  I hope things continue to work out well for him.  Things are working out well for us too - Elite 8 here we come!!!

I don't see him going in either round. At least he hasn't hired an agent and can go back for another year. Go get some good advice, brother.

Transferring was a good move for him; he looked good this year. You can't say Michigan really missed him, so it looks like it worked out well for everybody. While he probably will end up back at Florida next year, we should wish him all the best.
