Florida Basketball: 2020 recruiting targets for the Gators
Matthew Murrell – Brandenton, FL
SG | 6-foot-4 | 190 lbs | No. 46 overall
Florida recently made the final five for Matthew Murrell but they seemingly have some work to do to potentially land his commitment. The IMG Academy shooting guard is widely projected to attend Vanderbilt, who is also in his final five, and it will be difficult to potentially sway that future decision. As a player, though, Murrell would be a strong fit with Florida as a shot-creating wing. He brings plenty of size at 6-foot-4 and understands how to create looks for himself and can score at all three levels. With his size and athleticism, Murrell projects as a high-level scorer who more than holds his own on the defensive end of the floor as well. It might prove difficult for Coach White to land this commitment but it would be a good one.
Micah Peavy – Duncanville, TX
SF | 6-foot-5 | 172 lbs | No. 44 overall
Micah Peavy recently announced his intentions to take an official visit to Florida in the fall as the program clearly looks to be near the top of his list. As a talented wing with bouncy athleticism, Peavy is a great fit for the modern game. He is an exceptionally versatile defender and has the potential to grow into a major offensive threat in the future. Texas Tech has been widely regarded as the favorite to land his commitment but Coach White will have the opportunity to sway him if Peavy elects to follow his visit schedule and take his trip to Gainesville. Peavy would be a great addition due to the fact that his game can fit alongside just about anyone else. If he starts to gain consistency as a 3-point shooter, watch out.
Moses Moody – Little Rock, AR
SG | 6-foot-5 | 180 lbs | No. 43 overall
One of the most intriguing prospects in the 2020 class, Moses Moody brings exceptional size to the wing. In addition to standing at 6-foot-5, Moody boasts an insane wingspan and is also a knockdown shooter from beyond the arc. With his skill and physical attributes, he projects as an excellent 3-and-D star at the college level with plenty of NBA potential. Moody recently took an official visit to Florida and it seems as though the program is in a strong position to potentially land a commitment. Some of the others involved in his recruitment include Ohio State, Michigan, and Kansas (among others). Moody is not a hidden gem but he has superstar potential nonetheless.
